about

Wrote & recorded by Grin & Bear It in December 2012 @ No Recording Studios in Rayliegh, Essex. Mixed & mastered Jon Hannon.

lyrics

I heard that a life spent wishing is a life spent wasted,
That's pretty ironic 'cause I'm inebriated.
We are the has-beens that never were,
We waste our days & our nights are a blur.

Lord knows we tried.

Finish your drinks, pick up a guitar & force poetry,
All the boys in the back think they're fucking Bukowski.
Borrowed ideas, counterfeit thoughts, truths withheld,
They proved nothing & were nothing themselves.

Lord knows we tried,
Lord knows we tried.

I'm a natural born dreamer, a well credited somnambulist.
I've been sleepwalking a marathon; Putting off waking up for way too long.

The dream is dead; Long live the nightmare.
The dream is dead; Long live the nightmare.

Whether it be luck or design I will strive; Rather give it all up than compromise.
A diamond is just a rock that made a wish; "I want to shine".
