I'm reflecting how
How I grew up this way
Spending all my hours
Strugglin' through day by day
Makes me feel so down
With fire in my breast
I'd like to turn around
If going back is best,

Then let me scribble in my coloring book so I can dream

Waking up so early
Just to get a check
And staying up past midnight
Just to to make my best
Knowing all this time
Will never be relived
So I see no problem
With keeping my inner kid

If this is how we decided that we'd be free, then I'm gonna
Scream 'cause all I want in my life is to be
Happy, but all these troubles keep reminding me that to
Regress back to simpler times before these is key

It's all I have to feel again of what was my domain
Before everyday life came and destroyed its stage
Why keep my restrictions from enjoying what I 
Once did as a child? Those things made me smile

So let me scribble in my coloring book
I don't care if you give me a look
Just let me scribble in my coloring book
So I can dream
About times when I was happy

Coloring Book

Hate to be
The one to see
All of their dreams
Fall asleep
Took so long
To form the song
Once a cry
Now a lullaby

But I can't help but weep
When I see them counting sheep
Now in comatose, I done what I can
But no matter who I am, I'll forever be damned

Hate to be
The one to see
The crops in the cream
Sink beneath
Took so long
To find this harvest wasn't strong
So say, "Goodbye,"
And climb into the sty

Still I can't help but weep
This is the home that I want like gold
It's melted now, with reality seamed
Here is where we see the death of a dream

Hate to be
The one to see
All of their dreams
Fall asleep
Took so long
Just to form this song
Once a cry
Is now a lullaby

Still I can't help but seep
