Dead Dreams and Lost Hopes

Christopher Preece

I pictured myself on a stage
My name up there in lights
The dreams of an idiot child
Too scared to give it a try

Did I manage to fool myself?
For one moment I thought I could be
Up there with the gods of my childhood
And a crowd all waiting for me

But the years slip through my fingers
It's hard holding hope for so long
When nothing goes right, when you can't play along
When you feel like there's nowhere to turn

Let the drums shake your head from your shoulders
Let the bass break your chest open wide
If I'm dying tonight then I'm burning out bright
And you'll know that I've chosen my side

I march to the beat of their drum
When others are making their own
You can't build a life out of being
Just a copy of another man's song

Did I think that I had what it takes?
Did I think I deserved all I had?
I'm just one in a million one in the crowd
I gave up but was never ahead

And the years slip through my fingers
It's hard holding hope for so long
When nothing goes right, when you can't play along
When you feel like there's nowhere to turn

Let the drums shake your head from your shoulders
Let the bass break your chest open wide
If I'm dying tonight then I'm burning out bright
And you'll know that I've chosen my side

I feel the fear that surrounds me
That all the good times have gone by
I'm strung out on dead dreams and lost hopes
But I'm still alive

Oh I gave everything that I had
For one shot to be more than I am
But it's a fucking long road to the top and I've made my last stand

So I let the drums shake my head from my shoulders
Let the bass break my chest open wide
If I'm dying tonight then I'm burning out bright
And you'll know that I've chosen my side
