lyrics

Another day another song
Pouring my heart where it belongs
The fire crackling inside me
transforms into melody
It's the greatest feeling
Then the time of duty comes along
I gotta hold on and be strong
And put the real living on hold

Everyone seeks a normal life
Making their way from nine to five
Their heart is beating with no drive
Wearing masks and faking smiles
Among people who gave up
And I am trapped in this routine
Holding on to all my dreams
Fighting for an illusion

Just another wasted day
staring back at the ceiling
I'm dreaming my life away
feeling a thing is missing

I'm walking with doubts on my sleeve
The field of uncertainty
Deep down I know there is a beast
Awaiting to be unleashed
A gift as much as a burden
I might be sentenced eternally
To an empty crowd in front of me
And never rise from rock bottom

Just another wasted day
staring back at the ceiling
I'm dreaming my life away
knowing a thing is missing

In the quest for happiness
It's safer to choose a path
Made of common sense and compromise
But my time is running fast
I won't make this sacrifice
I will embrace life in my own way
