Notes On A Life Not Quite Lived by Mastersystem Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm asleep on a pile of paper, ideas are rife
Never amount to much, they died
In a cardboard building
Licking cuts, I count the ways I'm not quite living
No boom, no bust, gold bars of love
Not quite floating, not quite sinking
Give me the drink, I'm the future king
I'm a future king, I'm the future

Back on the PEEZ
That exists somewhere but it can't be seen

[Chorus]
These words are meant for nothing
Hope is born of hopelessness
These thoughts won't change the clocks
Notes on a life not quite lived

[Verse 2]
An appalling teacher, lessons learned
Lost in a deep abyss
The voice gets weaker and weaker still
Were we really born for this?
I'm sort of feeling a kind of maybe
Type of thing, please dismiss
This public speaker, the future king
The future king, the future falls to its knees
It exists somewhere but can't be seen

[Chorus]
These words are meant for nothing
Hope is born of hopelessness
These thoughts won't change the clocks
Notes on a life not quite lived

These words won't shatter the earth
Hope is born of hopelessness
These thoughts won't change the clocks
Notes on a life not quite lived
