I’M STILL HERE
I hide behind a smile but I’m bitter in the blood
I try to see the bright side while holding back the flood
If there’s a way to seize the day it’s buried deep inside
Freedom is the dream that fuels the need to stay alive
And I’m still here
I set my sights on glory so I wandered off to war
I made myself a casualty of always wanting more
Behind the eyes that guide me there’s a fear that never sleeps
Hopeful affirmation isn’t what it used to be
[chorus]
And I’m still here
Just a tiny little whisper in the universe’s ear
Yes, I’m still here
Just a little speck of dust with a moment in the sun
Yes, I’m still here
I left a trail of breadcrumbs so I could find a way back home
But when I finally got there, I found myself alone
I built me up a pedestal and I gave it everything
But everything is nothing, and nothing’s what it seems
[chorus]
Yes, I’m still here
Just a tiny little whisper in the universe’s ear
Yes, I’m still here
Just a little speck of dust with a moment in the sun
Yes, I’m still here
