lyrics

I've always been a success
You just hadn’t noticed
Slipping through the cracks
I'm too chic to be mainstream

Gotta love yourself
You gotta love yourself
You learn to love yourself
When there is no one left

I’m living in a fool's paradise
I’ll be dreaming till the day I die
But I'd rather be a dreamer than feel bitter and envy
Yeah I’d rather be a dreamer than admit defeat

Oh I know how to finesse
never needed your recognition
I'm not waiting for your confirmation
I'm a star

And heavens only so far away
Eventually you feel no pain
Only strength in sadness
Freedom in madness

I’m living in a fool's paradise
I’ll be dreaming till the day I die
But I'd rather be a dreamer than feel bitter and envy
Yeah I’d rather be a dreamer than admit defeat

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here 9RnK7
