Looking Up

Stood silent on a lonely road,
Defeated, feeling low,
Can’t see, it’s too dark tonight,
Worn down, too tired to fight.

The journey’s hard the journey’s long,
Just got to keep moving on,
No idea where I’m meant to be,
No idea where I’m going.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.

Burrowed deep under my skin,
Found a vein, crawled right in,
No one noticed this withered heart,
They were too damn busy being too damn smart.

Trapped in a prison of sinew and bone,
Locked up inside all alone,
Too proud to say I was wrong,
Too stubborn to change the path I’m on.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.

This pain in my heart just a thought in my head,
But it’s so damn hungry and it needs to be fed,
Don’t know this place, don’t know this face,
I’m just a crazy rat in this crazy rat race.

Dying slowly day by day,
What a shame I hear them say,
But it’s always been this way.
Today we spend, tomorrow we’ll pay.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.

Serve the mirror or serve the machine,
Drowning in dreams of what could’ve been,
Poisoned by my wants and needs,
Burn the crops, grow the weeds.

Can’t see, can’t hear, can’t speak,
So frustrated, tired and weak,
Obey the signs, obey the laws,
We’ve tried this once, it didn’t work before.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.
