Death Is Not Glamorous Set In Stone
At 3AM these streetlights light the way
but don’t illuminate the question in my mind
“Am I going anywhere?”
The things we aspire to change
they just stay the same,
The things I aspire to be,
seem to elude me
So cold and thoughts like rain,
slow but building
Building, building, building
So cold and I’m the same
And your number on my phone
so let’s go
Into the night,
we race like drops of rain,
Headlong
into the pitch black night,
Will not cease,
will not abate
Throw ourselves into this world,
make a dent
Set to explode
Because I’m ready as I’ll ever be
and you’re ready as you’ll ever be
What’s set in stone we will erode
’Cause I’ve been down and I’ve been out
And I won’t let myself falter that way again
Living vicariously, not knowing myself
It’s just not life to me
I can’t breathe for someone else
So I will take that step,
to step over that ledge
Settle for more, settle for now
Stand strong,
beat on,
be our actions
No longer afraid to be the things I try to be
Steady eyes,
steady mind,
I won’t let this world defeat me
