I was bored and I felt inspired so I ended up delaying my bedtime in order to bring this which might not be in its final form yet. Put simply for now, this song is about not knowing your purpose in life, not having a goal, basically not having much of your own reason to fight fo something.
I've realized that no matter how much I'd like to think of myself as an individual, I'm sure that there are plenty of kids out there who are just like me in this sense so this is my attempt at reaching out to others with my lyrics while still maintaining that personal level that I usually keep.
Here you go:
Sing for a new age
But wait for today
Let us scream for nothing and everything
Don't say you'll settle for anything
Do you know what I know?
Praying to a god who won't say a word
But gives little signs to all of us
That we can't see for the life of us
I'm wrapped up in ink and post-it notes
So now this city won't trouble me tonight
Don't make promises you don't want to keep (Whoa-oh)
I'm singing for my sanity (Whoa-oh)
So this is a landslide
Is this silent scream going
'Whoa-oh'x2
'I struggle to see tomorrow'
Whoa-oh
Oh back then I used to smile so much more
But maybe I will again in the end
Since when did my faith find the many thoughts
I see in you
The kids I sing to are the dreamers lost in space
Every single work-in-progress, everyone who's lost like me
Yes, I'm talking about you
(At very least) I'm getting used to the winter x3
Every single deadline passed brings me closer to my death
Are they really lying when the say we've got a chance?
Are we defeated by design?
Are the winners set in stone?
Do I have the strength to turn my back on them?
Although I've been breaking these chords
Tearing them up for you now
Pray but innocence never lasts for you
ad-lib outro
(END)
