Biography:
Dylan Owen is an 19-year-old independent hip-hop artist based out of Orange County, NY. His story reads similar to many indie-rappers', as he began freestyling in middle school and after building a name for himself through battling, started writing songs. Dylan's subject matter ranges widely, from examining his small-town complex to the joys and troubles of being young to the purpose of concepts such as age and time. It carries many recurring motifs

[Intro]
D F#m
Yeah, Hm
A E
You are my favorite miracle
[Verse 1]
D F#m
When the world finally ends, only then will our destinies doubt us
A
When we spin off the edge of our steps and our couches
D F#m
When just the hidden songs are left on our cassettes and our albums
E
Can we expect that something better surrounds us, when we exit our houses
D F#m
The death of my childhood would unfold in notches
A
It was a cave in social comet of a stolen promise
D F#m E
So how'd we grow up but not grow up into who we said we'd grow up
Into we said we knew some day we'd grow up beyond this
D (F#m) (A)
Now I'm as lonely as the town drunk, who only knows he's a man
When he's holding a handful of SoCo and Daniels
(D) (F#m)
Sitting at the bar calling all the colleges girls over
(E)
To sing him Billy Joel karaoke from a broken piano
(D) F#m A
I don't wanna end up just like him I'll keep on writing till my bookmark bends
D F#m
I keep on writing till I lose all that's left of my good hard friends
E
Until I've spent all the gold that had took our breathe
D F#m
If only it matters I probably I take the loneliest stance
A
I miss unholy abandoned home to me we always will carry it
D F#m
With the strength of an ocean it'll grow like soldiers in battle
E
And looking back over my shoulder see the roads that we travel
[Hook 1]
D
Without the worst nights (nights)
F#m
And my glory years (years)
E Bm
Without the holes in the rooftop we climbed on
D
Without the dead nights (nights)
F#m
And the adventure life (life)
E Bm
Without the memories we never bet our lives on
D F#m
How would I know whoever I am
E Bm
Without the long drive to anywhere that we were always miles from
D E
If these are the best of times I don't want mine back
Bm
The glory years I always thought I'd have are here
[Interlude]
D F#m A E D F#m
So for anybody who still feels they have the best years of their life left to live
A E
I'm right there with you
[Verse 2]
D F#m
We nicknamed our best friend Ghost for all the haunts he'd have
A
There's more to life then the glory years that we thought we'd have
D F#m
We formed a pact for down the road in case we lost track
E
A dollar diner coffee calls and screen porch menthol packs
D F#m
If you end up somewhere in an office selling car glass
A
And I still live at home in five years, lets get our maps
D F#m
And tape 'em to the window seat we could travel north fast
E
Small town kids who learned to fight from our divorced dads
D F#m
Know the rules of separation like our palms
A
Tired eyed of watching burning houses from our lawns
D F#m
If only we could find a wait and vacant distant summers
E
And fall in deep enough love we'd make our parents miss each other
D F#m
One story starts for everyone that never made it
A
I kissed my first girlfriend on an air mattress that levitated
D F#m
I used to hate the ground thats roots and holes are bound to fail
E Bm
But making out in UFOs at the Orange County Fair
D F#m
Made me feel like something from another world would save us
A
Or some great tragedy would come along to turn my pages
D F#m
Maybe I was waiting for a battlefield to earn my place in
E
Still looking back at us the world can see we were courageous
D F#m
But all our worry signs and torn up lives I won't ignore
A
Fell in love too many times at least we got to know our floors
D F#m
I don't plan to ever get the moments we were hoping for
E
A couple years later fast forward
[Bridge]
D
Now I know I won't try (try)
F#m
I know I won't try (try)
E Bm
I will spend my whole life looking for an answer that I won't find
D F#m
Now I know I won't find it, damn right I won't find it
E Bm
Imma take potential and bury it like I'm gold mining
D F#m E
I'll take my pen and I'll press it and pray my penmanship resurrects
Bm
My depressions, my friendships, my I'm in my own crisis
D E
Because I'm only twenty-two
Bm
How am I wishing for the wisdom that's been missing in collision with my old life
D E Bm
I said I'm only twenty-two, how the fuck am I wishing for what's missing in an old life
[Hook 2]
D
Without the worst nights
F#m
And my glory years
A
Without the lows in the rooftops we dived from
D
Without the dead nights
F#m
And the adventure life
E
Without the people that you never could rely on
D
Man how would you know whoever you are
F#m A
Without the long drives down the black midnight roads we almost died on
D F#m
These are the best of times and I don't want mine back
E
The glory years I always swore I'd have aren't here
D F#m
But I got wrongs, I got roads, I got seams
A
I got long intermissions where I lost my feet
D F#m
I got my best friends behind yeah I brought my team
E
They're in the background singing, like that's all I need.
D F#m
The orange lights the ocean gasp and it's all a passive
A
My quarter life flashes, short enough to make my story last
[Outro]
D E
There's more to write then the pouring rain and the autumn grass
A
There's more to drive to than all the places you wanna crash
D E A
There's more to life than the glory years that you thought you'd have
D
But I don't know where I am
E A
I'm just lost in my glory years
D F#m
Yeah, Hm
A E
You are my favorite miracle
[Verse 1]
