Текст песни The Lament of a Once Musician - Shius

Once a kid who just wanted to run
They found some solace in the music that kept them around
And when they sang it gave them life - it was all that they had
They kept it so close to themselves they would never be sad
And soon the days came and went, and the kid's all grown up
Now they're an adult without hope and they're runnin' outta luck
But soon the fact will be apparent that their music was fate
And then the kid that tried to run will be all but a saint

Oh, in the past I loved you
Music
Oh what I've done to sing you
Let me cry
Hear me sigh
Say Goodbye
Let me die
Say Goodbye

It was the fame that got to them first
Just a name among the others that stood out like a curse
Cause when they put their shit online they knew that someone would listen
And when the record label called'em, yeah they knew they were hitting
Cause when the business started poppin, it was all so much
And all their actions caused a traction - and their fans built up
And though their listeners weren't adults - just some kids online
They were an army to be reckoned, sparkling from their eyes
But you see, they were foolish, yeah they were just like us
And when they fucked up, yeah they messed up- yeah they ran outta luck
But the kids, almost religious, couldn't let'em just fade
Until they woke up to a lawsuit from a parent in pain

Oh, in the past I loved you
Music
Oh what I've done to sing you
Let me cry
Hear me sigh
Say Goodbye
Let me die
Say Good

If I could say I was sorry
Would I have the guts?
If I could say I was sorry
Would it be enough?

There is a kid out there, wanting to run
With the power to make something that an audience will love
And when they get it and they make it - it'll never be enough
So they'll keep reaching for the fame like fish to water in a cup
But if they don't learn at all - their empire's bound to fall
And they'll regret it when a kid like them gets hurt through it all
So don't ever do something that you know you'll surely regret
You're not a face in the crowd, when you're on top of the set

Oh, in the past I loved you
Music
Oh what I've done to sing you
Let me cry
Hear me sigh
Say Goodbye
Let me die
Say Goodbye

(If I could start all over again)
(Would it be enough)
