Faith

(album: We Are The Nearly Deads - 2023)

Someone distract me
Cause this isn't happening
We're not chasing heaven anymore
Saturn's returned now
We're jaded and shut down
We never thought we'd last this long
Society's worse now
And I'm just a burn out
Accepting my final moments of truth
Going the distance
And fighting resentment
Trying to hold on to the one

The one thing I did right
I'm never satisfied
Whatever happened to the nights we felt alive

How many edges will you cautiously look over
Defending yesterday
Believing in yourself is a leap of faith
I know the years have passed you by but it's not too late
You're free from yesterday
Believing in yourself is a leap of faith

Hope it was worth it
Questioning purpose
Guardedly keeping confidence
Incredible cycles
The pressure is lifelong
Driven ambitions passionless
I'm lacking conviction
And short on commitment
Don't think I don't know the consequences
I'll stay overshadowed
Rejecting the lifeboats
Trying to hold on to the one

The one thing I denied
I'm never satisfied
Don't ever cast aside a chance to make it right

How many edges will you cautiously look over
Defending yesterday
Believing in yourself is a leap of faith
I know the years have passed you by but it's not too late
You're free from yesterday
Believing in yourself is a leap of faith

Trying to hold on to the one thing I did right
Don't ever cast aside a night we felt alive

How many edges will you cautiously look over
Defending yesterday
Believing in yourself is a leap of faith
I know the years have passed you by but it's not too late
You're free from yesterday
Believing in yourself is a leap of faith

And I'm still holding on
