Dreams In My Eyes

Nothing is left for me
In this chaos of ash and smoke
I keep starring at this joint in my hand
Wishing for another toke

I used to have hopes
I used to have dreams
But they all turned into nightmares
Things aren't always what they seem

I just want to give up
This foolish game of life
I have one more wish
I'm begging for eternal strife

If you're reading this
And think its all just lies
If you look real close
You can see the broken dreams in my eyes
