Concrete
from Wasted Already by Contra Code
lyrics
Don't give up
When you're down stand back up
That's the way forward, always has been
Grip the rock, you'll grow a thick skin
Drop your pride
Buy the ticket and take the ride
Never wait for the right time to take back your life, do it now
So sick of weakness infiltrating
under the guise of outward confidence, ego inflating
Waiting for the chance to put you down
Repeat the cycle, you think everyone's against you now
But who gets hurt when no one comes around?
But it's a brand new day
Redemption only comes to those who see
what they've become and who they want to be
So let your pretensions melt away
Take a breath to clear the air
You're becoming self aware
Now you'll never get clipped by their stupid little ego trips
No way
Take a step away 'cause the blame game is child's play
Don't dwell on it
Cynical chronic anxiety; self fulfilling prophecy
Just live for today, a moment you evaluate is wasted already,
Wasted already!
It's a brand new day
Redemption only comes to those who see
what they've become and who they want to be
So Let your pretensions melt away
There's no guarantee that your relationships will realign
But if you're fortunate enough to be forgiven, pay it forward down the line
When you're down stand back up
That's the way forward, always has been
Grip the rock, you'll grow a thick skin
Drop your pride
Buy the ticket and take the ride
Never wait for the right time to take back your life, do it now
So sick of weakness infiltrating
under the guise of outward confidence, ego inflating
Waiting for the chance to put you down
Repeat the cycle, you think everyone's against you now
But who gets hurt when no one comes around?
But it's a brand new day
Redemption only comes to those who see
what they've become and who they want to be
So let your pretensions melt away
Take a breath to clear the air
You're becoming self aware
Now you'll never get clipped by their stupid little ego trips
No way
Take a step away 'cause the blame game is child's play
Don't dwell on it
Cynical chronic anxiety; self fulfilling prophecy
Just live for today, a moment you evaluate is wasted already,
Wasted already!
It's a brand new day
Redemption only comes to those who see
what they've become and who they want to be
So Let your pretensions melt away
There's no guarantee that your relationships will realign
But if you're fortunate enough to be forgiven, pay it forward down the line
