Wavebird

Don’t tell me to sit down
Don’t tell me to do my things your way
I'm writing these words to remind me of what I'm made of
And what I’ll be aiming

I never tried too hard
Bent to the will of a lazy mind
Telling myself that I'm doing fine
When deep inside lives a kid who’s a bit too shy
I thrived or I think I did and failed in the middle of the night
nigemichi wa nai to omoinagara
shōri shita toshite kunda

It feels like I’ve been granted
A curse that tears me down just to show me
That I'm still breathing, I can fix this
Running for my life
And if the wolves come at my door
Just let them know I went through it all
I stand, I fall this is my war
I can’t be wrong, this is my war

Don’t tell me I should run away
I’ve tried to say I earned my right to exist
No more cries, no feelings to hide
I know what I'm made of
And what I’ll be aiming

From now onwards
I’ll stop the ache be the one that I’ve never seen before
I swore I’d be breaking the habit tonight
I never tried too hard
But I know what it takes to achieve new heights
Get out of my way, I'm poisonous
I win 'cause I hate to lose

It feels like I’ve been granted
A curse that tears me down just to show me
That I'm still breathing, I can fix this
Running for my life
And if the wolves come at my door
Just let them know I went through it all
I stand, I fall this is my war
I can’t be wrong, this is my war

Here we go again, I’ll fight the pain
And all the things that slow me down
I know the way up high across the waves
The one that leads us towards a new dawn
I'm done with all the sickness, the unfortunate
I'm way above it, there’s no debate
Shut your mouth, give me my space
Can’t breathe when you’re around
Don’t make a sound, bring back the light

It feels like I’ve been granted
A curse that tears me down just to show me
That I'm still breathing, I can fix this
Running for my life
And if the wolves come at my door
Just let them know I went through it all
I stand, I fall this is my war
I can’t be wrong, this is my war
