And I was raised with the fear of god instilled into my head. But if he’s real, I think he’s the one that’s scared of us instead. When things should be getting better, they’re just staying the same.
And every night, I find I’m getting wasted with my friends, we say the things that we’ve already said. About how we’re gonna change the fucking world and make a name for ourselves in the end.
And I thought that I’d be closer, but I’m getting farther away. It’s like everything I’m working for means nothing.
And my stomach’s turning over at the thought of things that just might come to be to be. And the whole worlds turned to grey scale, the ground freezing at my feet. And what few things are still alive prepare to die.
But I still down at a table with the best of all my friends and I give thanks cause we’re still alive.
We’re still alive, we’re still alive and that’ shits good enough for me.
We’re still alive, we’re still alive, we’re still alive.
