[ti:We Can't All Be Heroes] [ar:WAX] [al:Continue] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]We Can't All Be Heroes - Wax [00:06.87]I wake up in the morning its the same old thing [00:13.15]Another day alone just rhyme writing (oh) [00:14.79] [00:15.64]It's getting a little old [00:17.10] [00:18.87]Feeling kind of cold [00:19.66] [00:20.99]When do you say you took your dream too far [00:22.96] [00:23.61]And finally come to grips with the person you are [00:25.61]I think for some of us the dream's too vivid [00:28.09]And the gift we've been given is the curse that comes with it [00:31.06]If you strive for perfection and progress [00:32.47]You beat your own a** in the process [00:34.82] [00:35.35]Man I'm satisfied never [00:36.40] [00:37.00]My sh*t always could be better [00:38.35]Sh*t the verse I'm saying now could be way more clever [00:41.01]I remember when there wasn't no pressure [00:43.04]I just do this [00:44.15]Before the music was part of a to do list [00:46.32]I love writing but why I'm clueless [00:47.95]It's peaceful yet deceitful [00:48.84]Like a Buddhist Judas [00:50.49]And its's f**king up my brain [00:53.22]But somehow it's the only thing that keeps me sane [00:56.89]I guess I'm like a little goth art student [00:59.20] [00:59.95]Take away his pen next day at school he starts shooting [01:03.45]But arts stupid [01:04.70]If you consider the bitter cost of this [01:07.23] [01:07.79]All the relationships I've lost to this [01:09.65] [01:10.43]All the times that I hit ignore when my family and friends they would call for this [01:15.01]A constant state of exhaustiveness [01:17.07] [01:17.64]I give my all to this [01:19.14]A stressful endeavor like tiger woods probably thinks that golfing is [01:22.24]I should get a office gig [01:24.32]But I can't cause I'm over here dreaming [01:25.88]And as I write another song I just feel like screaming [01:28.00]Stop f**king with me [01:29.15]Stop judging me [01:29.70]I just want to live comfortably [01:30.79]And I ain't talking about wealth [01:31.85]I'm talking about my brain [01:32.78]I'm talking about mental health [01:33.79]Stop f**king with me [01:35.01]Stop judging me [01:35.64]I look around and suddenly [01:36.94]I realize that there's nobody else [01:39.15]The only one judging me is myself [01:41.00]Most people they got big dreams and big plans [01:43.38]End up as a big flock of sacrificial lambs [01:45.54] [01:46.06]A single achiever [01:47.40]Can make a billion believers [01:48.64]Look at the children they're all willing and eager [01:51.43]Like when I was a kid I watched Jordan play [01:53.66]And dreamed of being up on the NBA court one day [01:56.24]Realized early that I didn't have it [01:58.12]That don't mean that there ain't people that took that stab at it [02:00.96]Like my man every day practice shooting baskets [02:02.62]Dreaming about playing for the magic or mavericks [02:04.95]High school star a 30 point a night average [02:07.33]4 year college starter alright average [02:08.89]Didn't get drafted [02:09.88]Still he could see the dream [02:11.30]Now he's 35 playing for some European team [02:13.64]Knees f**ked up constantly throbbing [02:14.79]Now he's popping Oxycontin [02:15.90]And it's becoming a problem [02:18.09]Had to move back with his mom [02:21.65] [02:22.98]And she want him to get a job [02:25.22] [02:25.87]But he doesn't have any qualities they need [02:28.67]Can't put 3-man weave drills [02:29.87]Under specialty skills [02:31.34]More and more he eats pills [02:33.99]Prescription refills [02:34.81]He still sees that dream that vision and it haunts him [02:38.46]A voice inside his head and it taunts him [02:40.87]His mom thinking that he's on something [02:42.31]And she right [02:43.28]As he screams in the middle of the night [02:46.02]Stop f**king with me [02:46.78]Stop judging me [02:47.34]I just want to live comfortably [02:48.47]And I ain't talking about wealth [02:49.64]I'm talking about my brain [02:50.62]I'm talking about mental health [02:51.71]Stop f**king with me [02:52.67]Stop judging me [02:54.48] [02:56.10]I look around and suddenly [02:57.04]I realize that there's nobody else [02:59.63]The only one judging me is myself [03:01.02] [03:01.90]I wake up in the morning it's the same old thing [03:04.68]I wake up in the morning it's the same old thing [03:14.02]We can't all be heroes [03:28.05] [03:29.94]Sh*t it's hard enough not to crack under the pressure of average expectations [03:34.23] [03:34.93]Most of my heroes were drug addicts [03:39.39] [03:41.52]So dream high and be prepared to fall really f**king far [03:44.98] [03:45.84]Take a walk around the city [03:47.34]Tour L A [03:48.05]Listen to what addicted women on the corner say [03:49.88] [03:50.71]Study their words many of them weren't born this way [03:53.27]Many moved here back in the day [03:55.25]Thinking that they'd be the next Dorris Day [03:57.23]There was role she was born to play [03:59.03]But somewhere she went astray [04:00.41]Some people crack on the day that disappointment comes [04:02.64]When they realize they ain't one of the annointed ones [04:05.58]She saw the vision [04:06.57] [04:07.18]And she came here on a mission [04:09.11]Audition after audition [04:10.15]But she never caught a glimpse [04:11.71]Of success and then she got older [04:13.55]And the industry disowned [04:14.50]Told herself that it was over [04:16.10]Now she never ever sober [04:17.49]And it drove her to the point [04:19.38]She can't control her own emotions or addictions [04:21.42]But she still sees the vision when she's dreaming [04:23.65]A voice in her head like a demon [04:25.41]And she on sunset at the bus stop screaming [04:27.54]Stop f**king with me [04:29.02]Stop judging me [04:29.66]I just want to live comfortably [04:31.28] [04:31.88]And I ain't talking about wealth [04:33.66]I'm talking about my brain [04:35.05]I'm talking about mental health [04:36.42]Stop f**king with me [04:37.53]Stop judging me [04:38.60] [04:40.04]I look around and suddenly [04:41.06] [04:41.96]I realize that there's nobody else [04:43.22] [04:43.90]The only one judging me is myself [04:45.26] [04:45.77]But stop f**king with me
