mark lenover - empty promises lyrics

Loading...

i chased my dreams right off a cliff
thinking i could fly
on sugared clouds of eloquence and gall
of course, i had been taken in
by an old saccharine lie
and heard a mocking
mirthless, disembodied call:
“you can do anything. you can be anything you want.”

i chased a gaudy fairytale
the co_rs_, synthetic sound
of culture shifting into retrograde
vanity was in the air
and the truth was solid ground
i chose to fall into
the digitized parade
i can do anything. i can be anything i want

i chased the empty promises
the devil makes to fools
begging for acknowledgment and praise
exposing all my weakness to
discarnate ridicule
i cannot help it now
it’s all that i can say:
“i can do anything. i can be anything i want.”
