Defiant
What am I doing here?
I just keep fighting through the years
I tire but I can't let up
Even when I've had enough
There's no slowing
I just keep going
Problems keep on growing
Constantly complicating
Everyone just loves berating
Getting stuck on every gripe
But now I wish you'd shut your pipe,
So I can live in peace
But I know that you'll never cease
Until the day you are deceased
I've learned to shrug it off with ease
And let go of uncertainties
I brush it off just like the breeze
Catatonic, such sweet release
Floating in an ocean of unrealized expectations
You can't possibly know of all the pains that I've been facing
You all laugh and scoff,
Just keep writing me off
But you'll never stop these demons that keep knocking at my door
And I promise that one day I'll finally settle the score
I just keep fighting through the years
I tire but I can't let up
Even when I've had enough
There's no slowing
I just keep going
Problems keep on growing
Constantly complicating
Everyone just loves berating
Getting stuck on every gripe
But now I wish you'd shut your pipe,
So I can live in peace
But I know that you'll never cease
Until the day you are deceased
I've learned to shrug it off with ease
And let go of uncertainties
I brush it off just like the breeze
Catatonic, such sweet release
Floating in an ocean of unrealized expectations
You can't possibly know of all the pains that I've been facing
You all laugh and scoff,
Just keep writing me off
But you'll never stop these demons that keep knocking at my door
And I promise that one day I'll finally settle the score
