lyrics

CLOUD CUCKOO LAND

My life is a musical and I do not care at all
That I don't believe in any of the words that I am singing
When I say "Yes, I am well"
What I mean is "Hi from Hell"
But I know everything's fine as long as I have lies to tell

Real life was such a bitch I had to build a fantasy
Now I'm lost inside a nightmare; I'm misunderstood, you see
I don't want to be the king and rule the clouds all on my own
I had a dream and now I always feel alone

I'm not gonna be the one to let the wind take my identity away
Luckily, a black sheep's wool is harder to stain

Now I'm gonna get around, now I'm gonna leave this town
Now I'm gonna be the warrior who's gonna bring you down
Take a rocket out to space
Landing site: your fucking face
Gonna stop crying in bed cause I feel dead and out of place

My freedom's all I've got to give, my freedom's all that I'm not giving
I don't wanna go on with this lie that I call living
If I want I'll risk it all, that way I'll always be a winner
These are hard times for dreamers anyway!

And so I pray it's not too late
For me to get out of this bubble because mother I'm in trouble, I'm afraid
I am the only actor in my play

All my life I've lived in fear everyone would disappear
If I let my mind run out my mouth for everyone to hear
Cause if I show you my bones
Then I know there will be stones
But if I don't say I'm lonely then I'll only die alone

My freedom's all I've got to give, my freedom's all that I'm not giving
I don't wanna go on with this lie that I call living
If I want I'll risk it all, that way I'll always be a winner
These are hard times for dreamers anyway!

I'm living in Cloud Cuckoo Land
But I don't wanna stay forever because even if you ever understand
It will be way too late to hold my hand
