Lose

Lyrics:
Just because everything always ends
Doesn't mean we're too scared to begin
I'd rather lose a million times
Carry the bruises on my chest
Wear the bags below my eyes
‘Til i can claw my way to rest
You know they're lying when they tell you
"Life is a test"
It's just an opportunity to make the best
You know no help is on the way
You know it's all up to you
And it can feel like too much
For just one person to do
The sea is getting hotter
Makes you wonder about your daughter
What kind of world will she inherit?
Have you failed her as a parent?
You know there's more to life than things
And yet you tell yourself each day
Just one more rung of the ladder
Just one more buck and you’re made
Y'know it all goes to the same landfill
Where scavengers pick
At the remains of a life
That never quite felt fulfilled
So have a change of heart my friend
A revolution of one
Chin up now, time to be brave
There’s real work to be done
And when the wolves are at the door
When the torches blow out
When the bravest matador
Can't help but show his doubt
When the priests and politicians
Say the quiet part loud
When the lullabies have faded…
You know no help is on the way
You know it's all up to you
And it can feel like too much
For just one person to do
You worry about your father
Then wonder why you bother
He taught you who not to be
So you could set yourself free
I'd rather lose a million times
Carry the bruises on my chest
Wear the bags below my eyes
Til i can claw my way to rest
You know they're lying when they tell you
"Life is a test"
It's just an opportunity to make the best
