Once upon a time little Callum had a dream,
To be happy and full of self-esteem,
To not have fear and to be happy in life,
To settle down, have kids and a wife,
To live in a world that was safe and secure,
To be happy and content and nothing much more
But one day the devil he did came to me,
Changed my mind and everything I see,
Now all I see is darkness in my mind,
With self-hating demons following me all the time,
Voices in my head and tears in my eyes,
I had a happy few years but now I just wanna die,
Pushing people away, cos my demons they do stay,
Cos I\u2019m so messed up I just wanna fade away,
Nightmares and terrors every single night,
Mental health aint killed me yet but I\u2019m getting to tired to fight,
Once upon a time little Callum had a dream,
To be happy and full of self-esteem,
To not have fear and to be happy in life,
To settle down, have kids and a wife,
To live in a world that was safe and secure,
To be happy and content and nothing much more
But I can\u2019t have kids and my marriage fell apart,
So now I\u2019m mentally ill but with a broken heart,
I can\u2019t find a friend and I can\u2019t find a lover,
Cos the world is divided and we all hate each other,
No one can be nice, no one can even get along,
Cos if you are right and everyone else is wrong,
Money controls the world, it\u2019s the only thing that counts,
But I\u2019ve lived my life skint, so my problems they do mount,
We all hate on others cos we are all insecure,
And if we want what they have we kill them in a war,
We argue and bicker, horrible as they come,
And If they beat us with words then we shoot them with a gun,
Once upon a time little Callum had a dream,
To be happy and full of self-esteem,
To not have fear and to be happy in life,
To settle down, have kids and a wife,
To live in a world that was safe and secure,
To be happy and content and nothing much more,
But life is beautiful it’s humans that make it hard,
So much violence in this world, no wonder we are all scarred,
We are in a massive rat race, so we must be all rats,
And with the devil playing tricks on me how can I compete with that,
And love is just a fairy-tale, made to make a profit,
The reality is much darker and it will all turn to shit,
Yet we live on a planet that gives us all we need,
But we rape and destroy it cos we all live a life of greed,
So fuck you little Callum and fuck your little dream,
Cos life can be so cruel and it aint what it seems,
Broken heart, broken mind and broken fucking life,
So go to the kitchen and get the sharpest knife,
Cut the pain away, and cut it all out,
Cos when you had your dream Callum, you forgot about the doubt,
So Fuck you little Callum you should really fucking die,
Cos you promised me a dream but you told me a massive lie,
I\u2019m scared, I\u2019m alone with demons in my head,
And thanks to your little dream Callum, I\u2019ll soon be fucking dead,
I\u2019m frightened, I\u2019m nervous, I’m having a panic attack,
And it\u2019s only getting harder, I just wanna go back,
So fuck you little Callum, and get that dream out your head,
Fuck you little Callum, you should\u2019ve had a nightmare instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So fuck you little Callum, and get that dream out your head,
Fuck you little Callum, you should\u2019ve had a nightmare instead.
