Scraping by
The desert- like sun, beating down
The Devil's eye
Hanging high above my head
In due time
We'll give up everything to keep feeling relevant, relevant
One solemn cry
I seem to wear it as a suit
That I can never take off
Never feel that yearn
All the moments I miss
As I watch them turn
And say goodbye to me
With a judgmental look
Ignorance was bliss
Crushed to death with every book
Holding my own against everything again
Trading blows with myself from five years ago
Possibilities remain
Invincible like a stain
But who really has the time these days
To take a second glance
Question things we know
We leave our lives blind
But we feel the snow
And we know it's real
We would die for less
It's win or lose
Every bullet, every breath
That I can never take off
Never feel that yearn
All the moments I miss
As I watch them turn
And say goodbye to me
With a judgmental look
Ignorance was bliss
Crushed to death
To take a second glance
Question things we know
But we feel the snow
We would die for less
