…life was just a killer dream, yeah
Seems like the whole damn world went and lost its mind
And all my childhood heroes…
…testify if I die in my sleep
Then know that my life was just a killer dream, yeah
Then know that my life was just a killer dream, yeah…
…life was just a killer dream, yeah
Then know that my life was just a killer dream, yeah
Are you smelling that shit?
Eau de résistance…

…was was passing time, my life was just a season
Dares and dreams and silly schemes and fillies running freely
I…
…was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season
If all my days…
…was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season
Shouting crowds and mummer's shrouds and people going crazy…

…[Chorus 1]
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
(Used to be my life…
…it at
I owe it to the music
You owe it to the music
[Chorus 2]
[Outro]
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all…
…the while and never really knowing why
Oh oh oh oh
It used to be my life
Was just emotions passing by, passing by
It used to be my…

If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time, my life was just a season
Dares…
…was was passing time my life was just a season
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my…
…was in their heads it surely was amazing
I had my fun in the bull ring and never got a scar
It really wasn't hard to be a star
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season…

If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time, my life was just a season
Dares…
…was was passing time my life was just a season
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my…
…was in their heads it surely was amazing
I had my fun in the bull ring and never got a scar
It really wasn't hard to be a star
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season…

…the money coming this way, this way
That's why I had to get my shit straight, shit straight
'Cause my life was just a piss take, piss take…
…my life was just a piss take, piss take
[Verse 2: Nines]
Now they play my tunes 'round the world
Can't forget eating beef goulash…
…it this way this way, this way
See the money coming this way, this way
That's why I had to get my shit straight, shit straight
'Cause my life was just a piss take, piss take…

I'm gonna survive
I don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I want…
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I want to give
I'm ready to try
Willing to lay it on the line
I want to be loved
I…
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I want to give
I'm ready…

…an angel well within my
Your and angel well within my sight
Sister says she was the only one
And even if she was the only one
My life was just…
…completed yesterday
Darling say that you're the only one
And if you say that you're the only one
My life was just completed…
…here today
My life was just completed here today
I find him so confusing still today
Mother says she is the only one…

…the money coming this way, this way
That's why I had to get my sh*t straight, sh*t straight
'Cause my life was just a p*ss take, p*ss take…
…my life was just a p*ss take, p*ss take
[Verse 2: Nines]
Now they play my tunes 'round the world
Can't forget eating beef goulash…
…it this way this way, this way
See the money coming this way, this way
That's why I had to get my sh*t straight, sh*t straight
'Cause my life was just a p*ss take, p*ss take…

…everybody
yeah it's just a low down state of mind
why's your mind all strung out
rainbows been there all the time
my life was just…
…a scramble
just as low as i could be
hell you people canned heat been good to me
my life was just a scramble
child i…

…a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really…
…knowing why
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing…

…the storm
My life was just an old routine
Every day the same damn thing
I couldn't even tell I was alive
I tell you
The high cost…
…that damn eight ball
I didn't have to think or talk . . . or feel
My life was just an old routine
Every day the same damn thing
I couldn't…

…shoes
Your world is a mirror and mine is you
[Pre-Chorus]
And my hair and my life was just blinded by your sight
Am I in, am I…
…compose
The words that I write help me figure out what's true
My world is an illusion, my world with you
[Pre-Chorus]
And my hair and my…
…life was just blinded by your sight
Am I in, am I out?
Or just hiding in your eyes
[Chorus]
We're just playing love…

Empty hollow
Now I live here
I'm no more a stranger
And my mind is
Free of hate and anger
I can tell you
My life was just…
…an empty hollow
I can stay here
There is no more sighing
And I found out
What makes sense to try it
I can tell you
My life was just an empty hollow
An empty hollow…

…something to believe in
If I face my fears, will I know what they mean
Long for brighter days far behind me
Before my life was just…
…far behind me
Before my life was just a haze
When love was still inside me…
