lyrics

Life keeps changing, people so angsty
Not much time and everything's fading
We gon' die but before that day we
Still can smile
Life keeps changing, people so angsty
Not much time and everything's fading
We gon' die but before that day we
Still can smile

One life to live, you know the cliché
Everybody wants to be a winner like a sweepstakes
Taste success but wonder when I might choke
Walk through my days like a juggler on a tightrope
Fed up with my head up, tryin' to keep it vertical
And not go and flush everything away like a urinal
Built a foundation on fertile land
But bad circumstance turned my plans into dirt and sand
Some fight fate like they're castigating karma
Heat bearing down like they're trapped inside a sauna
Social media feeds trafficking in trauma
Visible vulnerabilities through lacerated armor
And maybe I'm soft like velveteen
'Cause all these algorithms really messin' with my self-esteem
Gloom showing, doomscrolling from dusk to dawn
Full of outrage fatigue and can't brush it off

Life keeps changing, people so angsty
Not much time and everything's fading
We gon' die but before that day we
Still can smile
Life keeps changing, people so angsty
Not much time and everything's fading
We gon' die but before that day we
Still can smile

This goes out to the dudes and the girls we like
Goin' through it and still shinin' them pearly whites
To kids shakin' and breakin' because they hurt at night
Turnin' hardships into art with every word they write
Brain fog can blind imagination
Offset progress, stunt your maturation
I think I'm finally ready, though, to be a man with some
Happiness beyond my Peter Pan syndrome
Deep down demons, dueling with a monster
It can haunt ya, but forward moving is the mantra
Takin' time, too tepid and temperamental
Got more to explore, my existential potential
Huh, but let me put it into simple terms
Live and learn and take advantage when it's your turn
Mile after mile gave me trial after trial
But I still ain't dead, so let me smile for a while

Life keeps changing, people so angsty
Not much time and everything's fading
We gon' die but before that day we
Still can smile
Life keeps changing, people so angsty
Not much time and everything's fading
We gon' die but before that day we
Still can smile

Life keeps changing
Everything's fading
Fading, fading
