Abney Park - Letter Between a Little Boy & Himself as An Adult lyrics

Dear Mr brown one day I’ll be you and
Although I’m only eight now
You need to hear my rules never stop playing
Never stop dreaming and
And be careful not to
Turn into what I’d hate

Dear little boy
I’m doing my best up here but
It’s a thankless job and
Nobody feels the same you work long hours
Watch your credit rating pay your taxes and
Prepare to die

I have tried to keep my soul
I lost the fight to keep a hold
Now I am not awake now I’m not awake

Hey Mr brown
That can't be what life is like!
I’ve watched some movies
And I've, I’ve read some books
Life should be exciting
And sometimes scary but
What you’re describing doesn't
Seem worth the time

Hey little boy i think you were always right
I’ve dropped that worthless life and
I’m moving on life should be adventure
I’m stealing back my soul
I’ve lost too many years now i’m awake

You were right i nearly lost my soul
I will fight to steal back my soul
Now I am awake now I’m awake
