I've got my bags packed and I'm leaving real soon.
Eyes to the sky, I am staring at the moon
Thinking about the things that I desperately need
And it makes me so damn eager to leave
Show me something real, give me something I can feel
Give me something I can say that I was proud to have built
With my own hands, I’m not waiting for a sign
I’m not waiting for a flaw in your inferior design
Lately I’ve been at war with myself
and I know that deep down, its not good for my health
Thinking about the future and its painful to see
because it feels like the end could be closer than it seems
Feeling like each day could be my last
so every day I can’t help but ask
that if today should be the day that I pass
would I be proud of my chosen path
I don’t fear my last breath and what happens after I die
I’m scared of facing death and leaving nothing behind
and so I try to live a life I’ll be proud to lead
because there’s so many things that I aspire to be
Time is an irreplaceable currency
and we’ve been spending it on things that don’t have any longevity
Pursuing wealth, like it will guarantee happiness
will it really bring a life you will be happy with?
I will not be confined
because there is no
monetary figure you could place on my time.
You can have this nine to five
I don’t want it anymore
because it feels like death could be knocking at my door
It had me questioning my self-worth
Starting living in fear of the day that I leave Earth
Tell me, have you ever felt like this?
feeling like every day is an existential crisis?
(Wanna know how it feels) Take a step inside my mind
Only 23, feeling like I’m running out of time
Feeling so impatient, getting really tired of waiting
Now my eyes are wide open and I’m taking what is mine.
I see it all for what it is
I want to take a step outside the home that I live in…
To gain that insight that just might
show me what I need to succeed in this life
Jim Carrey said it best,
if you can fail doing what you hate
Do what you love instead.
It takes courage, but when push comes to shove
Life is too damn short to not do what you love
so
Don’t let the fear paralyse you
Let it put you in gear, let it drive you
let it ignite your fire, so it shines through
and let it burn, till the world learns exactly what's inside you
Verse 2
Too scared to live but never want to die.
Going through the motions like everything's a lie.
Looking all around me at the world that I see.
Wondering why it never made sense to me.
This existence always seemed like a waste but I was always too afraid to take away all the pain,
In my soul.
What is a soul anyway?
Trying to run away but not sure of what I'm running from.
I've always feared that I'm heading nowhere.
Where's this life taking me?
Is there a destination to this journey?
Grinding 9-5 until the day I die.
How old are you?
19 but going through a mid-life crisis.
They say good comes to those who wait but I fear that this wait will never be over.
Watching the world go by while I get left behind in the past.
It's all money and power.
I'll never be one of them.
How can you live with yourselves?
Living life with no meaning.
Don't you ever wonder why we're here?
No, just drink & forget your questions.
You question things too much.
Our existence means nothing.
Where's God when we need Him?
