Shine

(album: In Loving Memory Of When I Gave A Shit - 2016)

Twenty-something and fit
But you don't give a shit
Fast lane driver with a hot agenda
When ya' gonna slow down, are you gonna slow down?
Think you can't touch the ground

Your Prada, your Margiela make you look like a winner
But the bread in your cupboard barely feeds your hunger
Spending all your money trying to be fancy
Say no one can touch ya' now

Why you waiting on the world for a favor?
This is your life go ahead and change it
You're the brightest star in the sky
But no one's gonna know if you never shine
Why you waiting on someone else?
To give you the things that you want yourself, oh
You're the brightest star in the sky
So go ahead and shine, yeah, go ahead and shine

We're all strung out and lost but can't speak of it
Wars you're fighting in your mind they own you
Are ya' gonna get out, if the drugs bail out?
Who is gonna save you now?
Take another drink but you feel nothing
Like you're the only who don't need saving

Why you waiting on the world for a favor?
This is your life go ahead and change it
You're the brightest star in the sky
But no one's gonna know if you never shine
Why you waiting on someone else?
To give you the things that you want yourself, oh
You're the brightest star in the sky
So go ahead and shine, yeah, go ahead and shine

No battle gets won alone
So when you need a shield take a breath
Oh, before the moments gone

Why you waiting on the world for a favor?
This is your life go ahead and change it
You're the brightest star in the sky
But no one's gonna know if you never shine
Why you waiting on someone else?
To give you the things that you want yourself, oh
You're the brightest star in the sky
So go ahead and shine, yeah, go ahead and shine
