Johnny Dissent - Dirt Floor Lyrics

I buried my dreams
In the basement with the magazines I left when I left home
And I used to spend my days, ten thousand miles away
Pretending to be someone better than I could ever be
And in these games we used to play
The world was always so simple and I could make a difference
So when you ask what I wanted to be when I grow up
The answers very clear, I always wanted to be him

I wanted to be the hero, I wanted to change the world
I wanted to be someone, I wanted to get the girl
I wanted to be the hero, I wanted to change the world
I wanted to be someone, but that's not how it works

I left my heart down there in the dark
With all the bones of everything I've ever known
I'm standing in this basement
Where my first band used to practice
We never played a show no one even knows
We were going to be the loudest
We were going to play so god damn fast
Everyone was going to love us but it just didn't last

I wanted to be the hero, I wanted to change the world
I wanted to be someone, I wanted to get the girl
I wanted to be the hero, I wanted to change the world
I wanted to be someone, but that's not how it works

There is still time to crawl back home
And lick my wounds, live in my old room
Head down to the basement, steel my nerves
Dig into the soil, find all the bones
Find the man I buried when i was just a boy
Make that person me, make that person me
