lyrics

Walking through a foreign city
Feeling like I’m going nowhere
Golden leaves crunch underneath me
Waiting for the coming snow and
I might never find the answers
To the questions my mind throws up
I am not as smart as I thought
The seasons change and we change with them
But that is not the same as giving up

All the news is fucking awful
People acting like animals
Are we all that capable
Of reverting to primal instinct?
At the very heart of me
I feel our shared humanity
A beautiful and scary thing
We cannot let the bastards win
‘cause that would be the same as giving up

Giving up
I fantasize about it all the time
Giving up
A path taken by stronger men than I

Framed within the bigger picture
I am such a lucky human
Born with love and running water
Taught to empathize and question
The wind blows hard between the buildings
Cuts straight through my old cardigan
I stub my toe and bruise my shin
And feel the darkness creeping in
Then look up at the starry sky
And think about the age of light
A million years to reach my eyes
And still it got here right on time
And never ever thought of giving up
Never once it thought of giving up
