Quiet Desperations Lyrics

He sleeps in a world of make-believe

Wide awake in quiet desperation (oooo,ooooo,oo)

He unchained but he's not free

Surrounded by the masses in isolation (oooo,ooooo,oo)

His kids and his wife love him, sure

But he longs to have a same like emotion (oooo,ooooo,oo)

Always worried in his thought not sure

Always sick with trite commotions (oooo,ooooo,oo)

His quiet desperations

Are loudest when he sleeps

The nightly frustrations

Are proudest when they're heaped

They're on his mind

All the time

All the time

Break free (break free)

And see (Just See)

The world in all its beauty

It's beautiful to me

ohh yeah

Break free (break free)

And see (Just See)

The world in all its beauty

It's beautiful to me, ehh

Remembering what it was like to be a boy

Who ruled his world in make-believe

He put away childish things employed

But never had time to really grieve

Can he go back to a place and time

Where he could be himself

Where those around him pined

For the innocence of his true self

His quiet desperations

Are loudest when he sleeps

The nightly frustrations

Are proudest when they're heaped

They're on his mind

All the time

All the time

All the time

Break free (break free)

And see (Just See)

The world in all its beauty

It's beautiful to me

ohh yeah

Break free (break free)

And see (Just See)

The world in all its beauty

It's beautiful to me, ehh

Remembering what it was like to be a boy

Who ruled his world in make-believe

He put away childish things employed

But never had time to really grieve

Can he go back to a place and time

Where he could be himself

Where those around him pined

For the innocence of his true self

His quiet desperation

Is loudest when he sleeps

The world in all its beauty

It's beautiful to me
