The Ballad of America

I don't know what I would do by myself,
but I know that I don't need you anymore--

I killed these dreams all by myself.

I don't know how to live anymore
making dreams open up like a flower.

I abandon them to rot in the ground.

Maybe I will sculpt them out of stone,
then maybe when I'm old I can take them off the shelf.

Will I recognize them anymore?

Just dust them off, polished up, spit-shined.
Then maybe I will do what I was destined for.

I killed these dreams all by myself.


some new lyrics I thought I would share. the music needs finessing, but DH liked this quite a bit.
