Broken Records - I Used to Dream lyrics

You pick me up in the morning light With a heavy head and sallow eyes A ball of flesh and heavy bone Known better days are kinda sore I used to dream of leaving here Now I just sleep away the fear But nothing much ever came from me A sack of empty promises And if all these selfish thoughts would please just stop Sometimes do you wish you could watch it burn Your life you've built and the things you own How I dreamt of her again last night And how I could put the past to right And if all these selfish thoughts would all just stop And leave a little room for someone else When all that it would help will fall behind I used to dream of leaving here But the roots that bind were mine to grow
