Getting older (not wiser)
Nothing's changed but I'm still getting older
The days pass by as I wait around
For the world to change, but I just feel colder
I can't stay here and remain the same person
That wasted away and cried on your shoulder
No more of the same, cus I must get bolder
Still young but I can't rely on my youth
Cus at some point I have to face the truth
That time will pass me by if I don't live
Every day like it was my last
Or else I won't survive
and just be another who simply passed
I want to leave my mark
and not remain a speck
Live a life that's not so dark
and build something like the Aztecs
Something that endures after I'm gone
Something that will push humanity
In a way, for us to see a new dawn
Where we can live far away from insanity
While prospering as we should
In a world where everyone gets the chance
At doing what they wish they could
instead of suffering in their harsh circumstance
And living a happy adulthood
The days pass by as I wait around
For the world to change, but I just feel colder
I can't stay here and remain the same person
That wasted away and cried on your shoulder
No more of the same, cus I must get bolder
Still young but I can't rely on my youth
Cus at some point I have to face the truth
That time will pass me by if I don't live
Every day like it was my last
Or else I won't survive
and just be another who simply passed
I want to leave my mark
and not remain a speck
Live a life that's not so dark
and build something like the Aztecs
Something that endures after I'm gone
Something that will push humanity
In a way, for us to see a new dawn
Where we can live far away from insanity
While prospering as we should
In a world where everyone gets the chance
At doing what they wish they could
instead of suffering in their harsh circumstance
And living a happy adulthood
