Am I Wasting my life? No, it's the people who like an easy life, money and free time who are wrong.
Shout out to Iain Jamieson of Audiokicks who I definitely sub-consciously stole the end of verse vocal pattern from.
lyrics
We took all of the problems unsolved
We cant avoid, it's a path that never seems to end
We stood among the weeds watched them
Growing tall, defiant to the concrete spread
I wanted to climb the higher air on the mountain tops but my lungs give up too easily to even try and make my dead grandfather proud
The trying has left me tired out
I've been flying with both feet on the ground
It's blinding, I can't tell up from down
The lights go up, it's time to take bow
We talk of all the projects we've done, the hardships won, did it really get us anywhere
Yet here I am again in this place, repeating myself, one paddle left, a broken sail
Life went to quick I think I missed the stops
Got up too late and now its going to terminate
Fighting my head only with my heart it's just myself to blame
Because all I do is not enough
It's not enough
It's a story that'll make my grave
All my life spent chasing dust
Watching myself rust
It's all time I'll never get again
