lyrics

I’m just trying to survive
The grind of 9 to 5
And keep my dreams alive
To strive out of the hive

The Hum it beats me down
Sometimes I can’t get up
I am trying not to drown
Get stuck caught in a rut

My eyes are glazed from the haze
The daze can last for days
I keep searching for the way
To escape out of the maze

You can wish, upon a star
But that won’t get you very far
Cause They lied, when they said
You can be what you can dream
You can wish, upon a star
But that won’t get you very far
Cause They lied, when they said
You can be what you can dream

In the race of rats, avoid the traps
Cause they will snap your back
Stick to the facts, before you react
Take a step back and plan your attack

When nothings as it seems
Gotta switch up your dreams to plans and schemes
We only get one shot
So give it all you got

You can wish, upon a star
But that won’t get you very far
They lied, when they said
You can be what you can dream
It’s up to you to make it happen
Rely on no one else
Results will come from actions
Do it for yourself!

Hopes. They get broken
Souls. Get crushed
Wounds. Will open
Dreams will fade to dust
