about

for all the hopelessly hopeful souls

lyrics

I put my life on hold for you
Refused to stop giving
To something that stopped me from living
And it's my own fault
I know
But right now I'm angry I'm letting it show

I poured my soul into cups that got thrown
Pieces swept off the floor
My bleeding fingers ignored
My brain says "try again"

Here I am trying
I guess I'm built to get up
To get up when I'm dying
Send me a sign
I don't know if I can
Keep on putting my heart
My heart on the line
Send me a sign

You said that I'm getting old
Refusing to turn into the thing
That I laughed at at 17
It's so naive to think that dreams expire
Like after 35 I lose my right to try

I'm not your spectacle
A stupid sideshow
Look at me refusing to grow up
To be real
To give up
To get old

Here I am trying
I guess I'm built to get up
To get up when I'm dying
Send me a sign
I don't know if I can
Keep on putting my heart
My heart on the line
Send me a sign

If I stretch my voice
Higher
Louder
Scream it out from the rooftops
Will someone, somewhere hear me?

Here I am trying
I guess I'm built to get up
To get up when I'm dying
Send me a sign
I don't know if I can
Keep on putting my heart
My heart on the line
Send me a sign
