You’re starting to think that the American Dream is a myth
You get what you get it don’t matter what you wish
You’re looking for roses you end up with dirt
You’re honestly thinking that that’s all that you’re worth
You pay your dues for pride
You only live once but you die a thousand times

You’re starting to see everybody else’s point of view
but that’s not what you intended to do
You used to have vision now you just stare
You’re starting to wonder if there’s anything there
You don’t know what you’ll find
You only live once but you die a thousand times

And all the money that you thought you made
Well it went quicker than it came
You pay a bill and another comes
All that’s left are nickels and dimes
You die a thousand times

You’re starting to feel so content with what you see
but this isn’t what you wanted to be
You won every battle you lost every war
You were a contender but you’re not anymore
You fell right back in line
You only live once but you die a thousand times
