ROCK STAR DREAMS by Tom Jensen
I’ve been living for a legacy since seventeen
That’s when music filled my head with rock star dreams
I’ve been tightrope walking up against the razor’s edge of infinity
Since perception is just one’s illusion of reality
It’s not strange for my brain to change the scenery
Sure, they say the truth comes with a price
Sometimes you give more than just your life
Paying the ultimate sacrifice
You say you don’t think twice
But we ALWAYS think twice…
I was craving
Retracing my past
There were things worth saving
I see that looking back
What now seems ancient
A newly uncovered artifact
I’ve been contemplating
How best to back track
What will be waiting?
A part of me’s afraid to ask
I’ve been living to be a legend
Since the age of twenty seven
I’m always giving in to the present
That’s the quickest way to get to heaven
Lately I’ve been debating
How much more blood we should keep bleeding
It’s increasingly frustrating
Being forced to follow someone else’s misleading
I’ve been growing nervous of everything I believe in
I don’t wanna be led by rhyme I’d rather be led by reason
Like you, I’m still trying to find more of my kind
I keep hoping for a world that’s fair…
We know it’ll never be even
