lyrics

Cliches
I have just been running
Too scared to face my fears
Holding on to this small town
And the ones I love so dear
But now everybody’s gone
So I’m going to say so long
I’ve been here for way too long
It’s time to get a move on
“The night’s always darkest before dawn”

My insecurities always got the best of me
But I managed to survive thanks to my friends and family
I never fit the mold
I always did what I was told
I was never left in the cold
I was never one bit courageous or bold

And now all I can see
Are clichés crashing down on me
I tried hard to defy
These slogans of reality
But it seems to me that humanity
Is best known for giving in
Giving into lust and sin
We’re so misguided and dim
How am I different from them?
I’m no different from them

We have to be the best
Have the best
Go out of our way
“No pain, no gain”
We’re all insane
We’re content with letting others decay
We’re hypocritical
We’re superficial
We love to get our own way
This is the fucking game we play

Have I abandoned God?
Or has he abandoned me?
Why do I put my faith in people?
If their destined to fuck me?
“Everything happens for a reason”
Or so they say
I can’t continue life
With all this uncertainty

One spec of optimism
Is enough to get me by
So I’ll chant and cheer
I’ll drink my beer
I’ll give the finger to the sky
For tonight you will see
You didn’t get the best of me
I’ll go out and pursue my dreams
And I’ll make it
I hope I make it
Someday
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way”
