Stay Gold 06:13
haunted trees and haunted dreams dragon hearts and wisdom teeth i'm a girl with a goal and a heart of gold look out world here i go there's a dream there's a dream do i dare to follow do i dare to follow you do i dare to follow do i dare ask me what this life is about I don't even know what to say everybody is freaking out at least that's what it feels like anyway they want to control you won't listen to a word you say don't let them destroy you they'll leave you hanging on so just run they'll leave you hanging on so just run away run run away never come back again and stay gold stay gold my friend thinks the best has come he says he dreams of the good old days i'll admit it freaks me out that i still kind of feel the same I won't let them control you we won't listen to a word you say I won't let them destroy you and take everything that's in your heart they'll leave you hanging on so just run they'll leave you hanging on so just run away run run away never come back again I am young and i am dumb I am wise but i am wrong keep me here stay gold still naive enough to think i can fulfill my destiny so keep me here and stay gold we live in our dreams that's how it should be

to sleep, perchance to dream again i am the one who decides my fate a lust for life that you cannot take why must you bury me in all your hate yeah it happens all the time hey shut up yeah you're messing up my vibe I know exactly what i want you can't expect me just to wait around you can't expect me just wait I will take you down I will take you down dream crusher we are on our own and our futures are so unknown but you will not take us no matter what you say we're going to have our cake you will not break us when I'm losing balance hanging by a thread you come and knock me down tell me i mean nothing yeah it happens all the time hey shut up yeah you're messing up my vibe I know exactly what i want you can't expect me just to wait around you can't expect me just to wait I will take you down i will take you down dream crusher

you ignored all of the problems your god is not satisfied you said you don't want to be like your father swallowed up in self-righteous pride because the family was drowning in the house with the columns your weakness a thorn in my side i try to understand but i can't i try to understand but i can't i try to understand i used to pray that i could forgive you as if something was wrong with me I'm just seen and not heard but i i want to be your mouth mouth is full of dirt spit it out before talking to me lucky to make it out alive everything looks so different from the other side because i was blind but now i see the problem; denial your weakness a thorn in my side i try to understand silence can be awfully loud especially when it's coming out of my mouth take a look around and you'll find out hand over mouth can you hear that sound I used to pray that i could forgive you as if something was wrong with me i'm just seen and not heard but i i'm going to be your mouth mouth is full of dirt spit it out before talking to me i don't want to but i think i hate you

i saw a mermaid lying on the shore i wasn't sure she wasn't moving anymore i touched her face eyes closed forever sleep no more eternal dream so pure woefully clean will i ever find peace of mind do i have to wait until i die will i ever find my sleep will i ever find my dreams and other dead things i was always certain but i'm not certain anymore i was always searching but I'm not searching anymore what's life without a dream a waste of time and energy its like a song without a line will i ever find peace of mind do i have to wait until i die will i ever find my sleep will i ever find my dreams and other dead things haven't been sleeping haven't been dreaming for a while when i wake up i want something to show for it i'm uninspired no desire under my eyelids will i ever find peace of mind do i have to wait until i die will i ever find my sleep will i ever find my dreams and other dead things

about

CASPER Texas

Let me introduce myself. I am from the sky. No parents I was born from a venus fly trap kiss,
upon a planet just like this.
The next thing that I knew, I’m falling and I’m a star. I guess somebody made a wish and I wasn’t that far away from all of this.
I am here to show you. Here to know you.
I am red
I am green
I am blue
I am pink
I am star
I am dream
I am magically me
I am everything
