lyrics

I feel like I should be doing something
like I should be doing everything I want in life
a typical day is full of nothing
and nothing is just the darkness belittling the bright eyed

so am I gonna be the one who takes his time
who's nothing more than a dreamer who dreams instead of tries
well if that's the case I don't wanna come down to earth and erase
my dreams they're more than just a part of me
they're my escape from reality
but reality can never escape from me

never escape from me

and I have way too much on my plate
and sometimes I can slowly feel it tempting fate
I feel it tempting fate
and I hate feeling this way
my anguish suffocates the hope of seeing better days

it's hard to believe it's practically effortless to dream
I wanna believe that everything is as it seems
I always dream but it's difficult to push myself to achieve them
I have my friends but I pray that my friends have me
because it's hard alone but it's easier as a team

easier as a team

so here I am
if I don't rise then I can't fall
just a storyline without a plot
no
I'm never gonna live my life like this
no
because the easiest way is hardly the best

I feel like we should be doing something
like we should be doing everything we want in life
where a typical day is more than just something
that something is just the spark that will soon ignite the bright eyed
