Give Up Your Dreams - The Phoenix Foundation

We’ve been stuck together in awkward situations

Sittin' in the back of a van

Talking smack then take it back

Then wonder if you can

Get up and walk out

On this catastrophic career

For a moment

You’ve been painting pictures

I’ve been writing jingles

Blogging, making movies, and worse

Conceptualizing for a life

Then selling it’s a curse

Now we’re older

Are we even

Part of the scene

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help me

I’m starting fall apart at the seems

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help us

Someone must be pulling some strings

I’m a loser

And I’m losing my belief

Pick a part

But never

Follow it forever

Lest you get

Stuck in a rut

Your liberal education

Won’t mean much

When you’re drowning in the mud

Go grab a pitchfork

And stab it

In the heart

All your dreamin'

I’ve been giving up

On all my aspirations

Thinkin' 'bout gettin' a job

How does one transition to

A mortal from a god?

Ain’t gonna make it

So let’s break up

And move on

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help me

I’m starting fall apart at the seems

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help us

Someone must be pulling some strings

I’m a loser

And I’m losing my belief

Don’t let anyone tell you

That you’re special

Don’t let anyone tell you

That all your dreams will come true

Don’t let anyone say

That the world is your oyster

The world is not an oyster

The world is a cold

Dark planet floating through an infinite space

On a ceaseless journey to its own destruction

And all we can do about it

Is be alright about things

And get on with stuff

You’re not a loser

You’re a human

And I love you

I love you

Give up your dreams (x4)

I’m a loser

And I’m losing my belief

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help me

I’m starting fall apart at the seems

Give up your dreams

Can anyone help us

Someone must be pulling some strings

I’m a loser

And I’m losing my belief
