[Verse 1]
Time after time, I look away from the wasted minutes
I fight when you reach out to me
Why do you stay when I push you away?
Tied down, held from pretty sounds
Where do they all come from?
At last, what have I finally become
Today?
[Chorus 1]
I remember all the days of constant laughter
Do you fear the years of burden coming after?
[Verse 2]
Bright, flaring eyes
Illuminate the dark room I’m in
They tell me life’s a masquerade
After they say that they want what’s best for me
Pulled in by the pretty sounds
The ways that I’ve come from
Who have I become, again?
Again…
[Chorus 2]
I remember all the days of constant laughter
Do you fear the years of burden coming after?
When the time has come for all of us to witness
Do you hear the people crying for forgiveness?
[Interlude]
Take me home
Take me home...
[Rap]
Don’t fight fire with fire
The ones who conspire
Are liars and liars
Burn them on a pyre
Acquiring weapons like paper and pen-
Microphone, speakers, cables
They connect and then-
The ground will be shaking
The sound is intense Your silence is brutal
My words are defense
Now the time is approaching
So let us begin
I don’t fight for the thrill
I battle to win
I don’t fight with a gun
I fight with the rhythm of hope and I run
I fight with a passion
I fight with the keys and the strings and the drums-
And the horns and the beat of the breath in my lungs
Don’t fight with a gun
Don’t put guns to your head
Put your guns to the ground
Think about what I said
Move your mind to the sound
Of the kick in your chest
Life is made up of choices
Do you lose or invest?
Outro -
Don’t forget me
Take me with you
Don’t forget me
Take me with you now…
