Yeah But No

Stop at nothing short of gold
Despite what I am told
To tell me that I’ll soon grow old
Step inside this battered mind
And leave your assumptions behind
And if I dare, may I be bold?
Fuck you and your former self
Don’t project your regrets on me
Because we still stand up straight rather than sitting back
We read your story, we’ll learn from it, we’ll grow from it
We’ll overcome your fears and we’ll become them
I was idealistic once like you
That’ll stay on our mind and hope
And there will come a time
I was idealistic once like you
That’ll stay on our mind and hope
And there will come a time, there will come a time
A time when you will die
Before you do I hope you catch a glimpse of this fun
The mirror I’d wish that it still
That it still looked like you
Like you
Fuck you
If the fire is in our chests
We live to breathe
We fight to love
And work, read, spend
We’ll never change that
This fight may only be fair
After you are gone
We’re gonna have to take that chance
