Time on Earth Lyrics by April Elliot Lee

How Tragic

2017

[Verse 1]
I'm such a coward downing sour candies
Too scared to share my thoughts, beware my real me
Watch me drown myself in glitter and my own tears
How am I supposed to live when I'm my biggest fear?
Wish I was composed of supernovas and stars
But I'm just some messed up kid drowning in tar
Living every day looking out from behind a mask
I'd tell them that I want to cry but they don't ever ask
[Chorus]
Everything I see is just another pipe dream
I am just your local boy with no self esteem
Nothing that I ever do is anything of worth
I spend my days like you wasting my time on earth
Everything I see is just another pipe dream
I am just your local boy with no self esteem
Nothing that I ever do is anything of worth
I spend my days like you wasting my time on earth
[Verse 2]
I imagine I am undercover each day
So I don't hurt as much from the things that you say
The way the walls seem to always inwardly cave
With everything at stake can't you make me feel safe
Why do you have to make it an us versus them
Can't you see that we need peace now not more mayhem
I try my best but every time I do it wrong
Every days a test to see if we can still be strong
[Chorus]
Everything I see is just another pipe dream
I am just your local boy with no self esteem
Nothing that I ever do is anything of worth
I spend my days like you wasting my time on earth
Everything I see is just another pipe dream
I am just your local boy with no self esteem
Nothing that I ever do is anything of worth
I spend my days like you wasting my time on earth
[Bridge]
I keep finding sequins in my hair
Don't remember putting them there
I keep finding blue, pink, and white
Don't remember why I fight
I keep finding flowers in my mouth
Don't remember this going south
I keep finding glitter in my nails
Don't remember any details
I keep finding sequins in my hair
Don't remember putting them there
I keep finding blue, pink, and white
Don't remember why I fight
[Chorus]
Everything I see is just another pipe dream (I keep finding flowers in my mouth)
I am just your local boy with no self esteem (Don't remember this going south)
Nothing that I ever do is anything of worth (I keep finding glitter in my nails)
I spend my days like you wasting my time on earth (Don't remember any details)
Everything I see is just another pipe dream (I keep finding sequins in my hair)
I am just your local boy with no self esteem (Don't remember putting them there)
Nothing that I ever do is anything of worth (I keep finding blue, pink, and white)
I spend my days like you wasting my time on earth (Don't remember why I fight)
