Be Like Me

Pick me up
Off the floor
Where I fell asleep
The night before
Find my clothes
Waking up
Chasing every dream never helped me much
Stumble out into the street
A beggar’s all I'll ever be
Find a new place to sleep
Living everyday with my heart on my sleeve

Don't you wanna be like me
Both my pockets and my stomach’s empty
Don't you wanna be like me
Lowborn lowborn lowborn
Cause I know I'm just a soul that can't be saved
I like throwing my life away
I'll keep singing
Hey
Don't you wanna be like me
When all I'll ever be is lowborn

Hiding out in every song
Building careers where they don't belong
Writing down where I went wrong
And scripting the words that they'd all sing along
So I’ll take take
A picture of the prophets living
Fake fame
Off the backs of people dying to live

If I quit it leaves me empty
But every dream just leaves me tipsy
I'll just wait and I'll pray
Hoping and begging for change
With these wars that I made
Battles I've waged
Escape is just a life away
The pain they portray
The lies that they play
Living like they earned that stage
