Ignore the dead look in my eyes
I've been awake for far too long
So far work's been my demise
I've let the rich world steer me wrong
So what is life if we're not happy
Stuck living days that shave our soul
I said I wanted to be happy
That making money's not my goal
I've come too far and now I see
This artist's life is bittersweet
Knowing your options will be key
Reveal your heart or get to eat
So how's life fun when we're all hungry
Stuck chasing dreams that leave us broke
I said I wanted to be happy
But now it sounds like just a joke
