It's on the tip of my tongue
It's so close I can taste it
I just wanna make my dreams come true
All of the time that I've wasted on cocaine and booze
All I needed was you
I know it fades
You'll forget my name
A shell of who I was
A silhouette of my mistakes
But I can change
Swear that I'll behave
I'd rather smell my flowers now than when they're on my grave
Dead men tell no tales
Delusions of grandeur
Looking to everyone else for the answers
Inhaling the cancer
Watch it go up in smoke
I've got vultures
Swimming circles around my head
Way before the moment I fell down dead
All eyes on me
Even I can't agree with what they've seen
The tears they shed
The blood I bled
The life I lead
Do I do it for them
Or do it for me
The line of selfish and selfless only gets harder to read
A moment of silence
A moment of peace
Delusions of grandeur
Looking to everyone else for the answers
Inhaling the cancer
Watch it go up in smoke
I'll get my flowers
One way or another
Give them to me now
Place them on me when I'm under
Using lightning
Chasing thunder
If I leave a legacy I'll never have to wonder
