crumble

some of the saddest people
have the biggest smiles
i have no opinions on anything
i only stand up for when
i want to put on a show
and see what it’s like
to look like a man
who knows something
they call it confidence or charisma
all that is just a mind game we play
with ourselves and the world
i wanna be bored
i wanna be a whore
i wanna be adored
i wanna be folklore
i wanna be deluded
go on all the talk shows
with my god like status
kids watching home
not getting it
not getting the country vibes
not getting the outlaw mind
tour the states
go to austin, new orleans
go to vegas and los angeles
play in venus with 8 people
put on a killer show
record little movies
with my sony zv1
sure there will be hard times
but i know that i will survive
find those moments where songs
just appear and change lives
the addict wants to remain
in control even if it means
he we lose it all and burn it all to hell
at least he gets to be the one
that decides and gambles his life away
play to lose, not to win
play until you got nothing left
when you win big then you play that
always put it all on the line
no matter how much success
how little time
build skyscrapers
just so you can watch them
crumble.
