Aren't I done paying my dues? 
So why was I left here singing the blues? 
Over and over a crippling sadness 
Everyone's sick of cheering for classics 
I'd rather be wasting my life chasing dragons 
The empty promises of something real 
The words of that old lady who said wounds could heal 
Echo and bring me some inner peace 
While its been too long since anything 
Has brought me to tears 
Could this mean 
I have lost my innocence?
It's nothing that serious 
I just got used to the thrill

Bravo!
