That's All I'll Ever Become

Tell me your dreams
 Make them as big as you can
 So then they have the best chance of maybe working out
 Sometimes nothing works out sometimes
 Don't be alarmed
 Don't shy away when you're in the wrong
 I can testify to what it's like being
 Lost inside yourself, a personal hell
 I wanna live to the second last day that my children do
 Selfishly so I can see them through
 And all that they become
 That's all I'll ever become
 Spend it all
 Every last bit that you have
 If you need to buy back the piece you lost
 To the upkeep of renting a room for your soul
 I can see how
 Every last downfall of man
 Could one day lead to the end if we can't find harmony
 And treat others like we'd like to be treated
 Fair
 I know it's not really fair
 That don't mean the outcome you should
 Be decided solely by the income of people
 Who don't need it for livin'
 Still...
 I wanna live to the second last day that my children do
 Selfishly so I can see them through
 And all that they become
 That's all I'll ever become
