lyrics

I'm finally free
I'm moving on
Making a name
For myself
I'm trying hard to not screw up
And vanish into dust

A desert found me after school
And taught me what I shouldn't do
It's how discouraging it is
I've got to walk away from this
I barely exist

I'm trying harder than I did before
I've got so much life to live

I'm waiting for an oasis
A place where I can rest
I would cup my hand and take a drink
And feel the relief fulfill me
But that's not how the real world goes
It's a dry, barren wasteland
Where emotions never matter much
It's the logic that empowers us
I barely exist

I'm trying harder than I did before
I've got so much life to live
I'm reaching higher than I did
And so much more
But you said life was short

Of course I'd crawl on all fours just to survive
After all, I'm raised to think that's all there is to life
I've had enough of what you call life
