Kublai Khan - Crown of Books lyrics

One step forward two steps back I've lived To little to have lasted This long Face facts Life's fast Catch up To what I ask Your dreams? Hear me I'm no scholar No touch I'm no one with the locust Who left his shell behind in search of second life I'm not What you had Ever hoped for I learned more from music Than from any teacher or text book But I never asked for that I remember being young & all I wanted was to be beautiful in your eyes But I've come to one f**ing conclusion There's no place for Me The youth war is over but I don't know if I've Won or lost I'm no one with the locust Who left his shell behind to live a life of sleepless nights Sleepless nights I'm not what you ever hoped for
