The snowman dreaming of sunny beaches

Sew your ideals behind your ear and stitch your wishes above your heart Beware you'll never get what you want The flames will blow out before the candles even lit Hold on my friend your speeding towards a deadend Light always casts shadows but shadows never see the light Choking on pride because it's to hard to swallow gets you nowhere fast Open your lungs Cool your flustered cheeks If you rant till your lips are numb the things worth hearing flutter out mute Swallow your swollen pride For it has not a use but to bruise the inflated ego Walking handstands on raw palms while longing for a spotlight that has been burned out for years
