Figurines

I have this dream
Where I'm floating in a sea of figurines
They all look just like me
Or who I'd like to be
If I wasn't dumb
Or desperate to believe
That you were well intended
You're so well respected
Why wouldn't you be?
Why wouldn't you be?
Oh so it goes
Stick to what you know
They caught you sneaking out
Hanging in the back
They wanna chew you out
Oh but don't be so afraid
Everybody lives and everybody fades
They'll find someone for their stage
You'll see that same old wide eyed gaze
I have this dream
Where I was everything I wanted to be
The grass was green
I was sugar sweet
Then I saw something
Something tugging on my sleeve
When I looked down
I saw myself in the ground
Who knows what'll happen
When nobody's around
Oh so it goes
I stick to what I know
They caught me hanging out
Sneaking in the back
They're gonna spit me out
Oh but I am so afraid
I don't wanna die
No, I don't wanna fade
