Breathe in deeply, you almost fell asleep
Its taking everything you have to stay awake
The 5 is empty, your eyelids gettin heavy
Don't remember which exit you have to take?
And now its four in the morning
Your engine light is warning you of everything that you have at stake
Because the script you've been writing has sent you into hiding
It's been days and you're still on your second page
All you wanted was to catch a break
All you needed was to get away for a few days
You've got a gift so take it
You know your gonna make - it'd a shame if you just le t it go to waste
And when you're rich and famous you better never blame us
For the blatant exploitation of your name
You wanted stories so you made em up
You needed stories so you made em all up
Don't throw that away
Lights, camera, action potential
This neuron network has no regard for rendered pixels
If final cut were a game
It'd be an RPG and you'd be MVP for scoring your fame
Breathe in deeply, you almost fell asleep
Its taking everything you have to stay awake
When you came out of hiding the morning sun was rising
Keep your fingers crossed for that big break
So when the story boards have washed away
And the city lights have started to fade, don't give the ending away
The things we create exist so that we can't back down
Breath in deeply as time is slowly through the cracks of every passing day
And when your clock stops ticking
The bass drum quits its kicking
Who will read the epitaph above your grave?
"Here lies a man who made it
Who stormed the gates and waited for the perfect time to strike and stake his claim
He had a dream so he chased it
His friends will sing his praises, how he never let one second go to waste"
And the world won't forget your name
Yeah, the world will remember your name
