Another Way To Live

Dystopian dreamer
Myopic memer
Drop me in the cast
(Paint me fast, paint me last)
Don't Willy Wonka my anxiety
You tasteless cur
(Paint me fast, paint me last)

I'll find another way to live

My mind is racing
My heart is bracing
Splatter my feelings on the walls
(Paint me fast, paint me last)
Don't Tim Burton my fantasy
You careless cur
(Paint me fast, paint me last)

I'll find another way to live

Sorrow dying
And I'd be lying
Hold me close
(Paint me fast, paint me last)
Don't William Shakespeare my feelings
You loveless cur
(Paint me fast, paint me last)

I'll find another way to live
...I'll find another way to live!

I'll ask the trees that dance in the breeze
How to love myself again despite the pain
I'll howl with the dogs and hop with the frogs
And I'll find peace when heartbreaks cease

(Paint me fast, paint me last)
I'll find another way to live
(Paint me fast, paint me last)

You're such a silly and courageous cur

But I'll find another way to live
