lyrics

He makes his plans every day
Thinking that they will all work out his way.
He lives his life in a scene,
He's always awake but still lost in a dream.

'Cause he has time on his hands
To make all these idealist plans,
But they don't ever come true,
But he lives on thinking up new ones.

He courts the way that he pleases
And soon finds the girl of his dreams.
But it turns out she's not quite so perfect -
Disillusion, he cries and he grieves.

'Cause he has time on his hands
To make all these idealist plans,
But they don't ever come true,
But he lives on thinking up new ones.

He has plans for everything
And of his lands he is the only king.
But soon there comes a rebel
To take his throne.
His weapon is harsh truth
Which turns our friend to stone.

'Cause he had time on his hands
To make all those idealist plans.
But they didn't ever come true
And he died and was buried
But nobody knew him.

about

Broken Soldiers New York, New York

One of the most amazing things about creativity is its ability to turn a negative situation, a negative moment or mindset, into something positive.

That is what this music is for me and hopefully, by listening, you can find that inspiration too. Stay Positive. |><| ... more
