about

Dream Killer is about wanting to give up school/work to follow your passions, but not being able to afford the instability. This song is about reclaiming your dreams and getting through that 9 to 5 to enjoy them.

lyrics

It's just one of those days
You say for the fifth day in a row
Down another coffee
Say you wanna go home

The paperwork's piling up
And your accounts all overdrawn
Your life's not what you planned
It's a perpetual yawn

Well mama can you see me now?
I've got another forty down
But thank the heaven and stars
I stuck around

I've been waiting for
Everyone to tear me apart
But seeing as it never happens
I guess I'll never start
Ya sometimes dreams are just for the sleeping heart

It's just one of those nights
You say for the fifth night in a row
Down another bourbon
Sleep on the taxi ride home

Your future's looking grim
And your idols start to fade
Your life's not what you planned
A perpetual downgrade

I've been waiting for
Everyone to tear me apart
But seeing as it never happens
I guess I'll never start
Ya sometimes dreams are just for the sleeping heart

And I could conform to what society wants me to be
Or I could perish in my unfulfilled dreams
Isn't it so much better to be prepared to run
Saving up for a rainy day that never comes

I keep waiting for
This world to tear me apart
But nobody gives a shit
So where do I start?

Don't be waiting for
Anyone to tell you who you are
It's never gonna help you
To get that far
Ya sometimes dreams are just for the sleeping heart
But life moves way too fast to stay where you are
