When I was just a boy
I so wanted to be loved
When I thought held your hand
I know now it was a gun

It was empty from the start
But a threat to make them run
A veil of protection
Though we needed none

Paint with debris
Die in the dream

Dream debris, dream debris

When I grew into a teen
I wouldn't dare to speak
Unable to understand
I was not meant to be

And as I've become a man
The burden I do not need
I stand before you all
A self portrait in debris

Paint with debris
Die in the dream

Dream debris, dream debris

We were deceived
When led to believe
We could be anything
We wanted to be

We were deceived
When led to believe
We could be anything
We wanted to be

Dream debris, dream debris
Dream debris, dream debris
