Countless nights awake, push until it breaks.
Striving to be great so a suit can tell you:
"you're a waste of time!".
Our youth is withering!
Throw caution to the wind!
The fight's not about the win,
Just give until it hurts than give again.

If this is it then, why do I feel so alive?
If this the start then why are we just killing time?
It feels like our entire lives have been building up.
Now I only hope that we don't screw it up.

Don't bother asking for a second chance cuz,
This is all you'll get. don't bother asking me for help,
I only look out for myself. please check your ego at the door,
You might just be the next in line.
I've seen the rise and fall,
The best of all the heroes of their time.
So who were they to you? were they someone you looked up to?
The shine in your eyes used to match my own,
But it faded fast I know.
Who am I to you?
Who the hell do I look up to?
The heroes that rise and fall in time,
Or the ones who make it through?
I give my head a shake just to stay awake,
On this story littered path.
I can hardly stand to wait,
When our dues are paid we'll shine like stars and broken glass.

If this is it then, why do I feel so alive?
If this the start then why are we just killing time?
It feels like our entire lives have been building up.
Now I only hope that we don't screw it up.
