Cemetery of Dreams
This is a song about refereeing all the dreams you had as a kid and dwelling in them. As a college student it brings back all the memories of the things I wanted a lot. This song is in that vain.

Verse 1
I walk among the tombstones of what I thought I wanted
The want died along with my dreams now all my aspirations haunted
By all the thoughts of the person I told myself I was gonna be
But no matter how hard I tried I stayed the same me
Bridge 1
What the hell went wrong to make me change for the worse
How do I break this spell when I know I’m the curse
Chorus 1
So here I walk in the cemetery of dreams
The groundskeeper of the things that I know I’m not
I watch the thoughts fly by crushed, severed at the seams
I had all the bullets but I never took the shot
And here lies the idea of what I aspired to do
In this place I’ll stay and I’ll never pass through
Verse 2
I look into the dark knowing that I’m not the light
I created this place when I refused to fight
For the dreams of a child that I used to be
That would be ashamed if he ever saw me
Bridge 2
I broke the only object I ever held dear
My mind is scattered and now I’m stuck in here
Chorus 2
So here I walk in the cemetery of dreams
The groundskeeper of the things that I know I’m not
I watch the thoughts fly by crushed, severed at the seams
I had all the bullets but I never took the shot
And here lies the idea of what I aspired to do
In this place I’ll stay and I’ll never pass through
