Common Blues

More and more we forget what’s worth living for
And what matters most
Always trying not to fail
But losing our path anyway
We’re hiding our inner selfs
Behind masks and thick walls
We won’t dare to speak forbidden words
Because the truth, it hurts
Just too much
We close our eyes to it
And turn away
Rather keep on lying
Than displease anyone
While trying to fit in
We betray ourselves
We play our sick, pathetic roles
In this everyday play
Day after day
Drowning in our own sad stories
Our mistakes, our fears, our worries
And when we look up to the stars
We realize just how small we are
Oh how we take it all for granted
And forget just how precious life is
Playing our roles day after day
Don’t let this gift waste away
Don’t let it waste away
And when we look up to the stars
We realize just how small we are
Dare to take a further step
Don’t give up, make the best of your choices
Dare to let your flaws behind
Make up your mind
This is your life
Oh how we take it all for granted
And forget just how precious life is
Don’t let it waste away
