Wake up in the morning
Staring at the same old ceiling
My brain still loading
Can’t keep up processing my thoughts
When did this story get so messed up?
Things don’t go as planned
There is a war now between ideals and reality
I still keep going down
The countdown continues
But I can only hear my nervous heartbeat
Ringing in my ears
Every day is gloomy
Climbing up this spiral staircase
Yet I still can’t seem to find the exit
I just wanna breathe freely, yet these ties around my neck keep choking me
For what?
For what?
I can’t remember
But I wanna make my life meaningful
I go outside to discover who I am
Their cold eyes restrain me
But a low price to pay compared to regret
So I’m living in the flame for my life
If I walk in the fire
Will I burn down in flames or reach higher?
I wanna shine
I just wanna be a bright presence
I wanna live freely
Like a bird flying in the sky
But I feel like I’m caged even when I’m outside
And they’re gonna treat me like garbage when I die from starvation
Capitalists have us dancing like toys in the palm of their hands
They try to shut us up with money
Don’t kill yourself
No matter what they say, you’re priceless
You know
Shout out your truth
Don’t care about what’s gonna happen
Life without taste ain’t worth it
You might be stuck
In a tunnel without lights
But you’re gonna find the way
Bad days may keep coming
But don’t look down
Or you’re gonna miss the beautiful view
If I walk in the fire
Will I burn in ashes or get brighter?
I wanna shine
I just wanna live with no regret
If I walk in the fire
Will I burn down in flames or reach higher?
I wanna shine
I just wanna be a bright presence
