Wake Up

You used to tell me everything would be alright
But that never stopped me from lying awake at night
The lives I’d never live, the songs I’d never sing
Drowning in my own fucking memories
Lift your skinny fists, kid
The scraping of the city’s growing concrete in your skin
I won’t give in
Remember the songs we used to sing
Hold on now, keep breathing
It still isn’t over yet
Lift your fists and fight back
I just want this to stop
