Glass of Water Lyrics by Brandon Agustus

Days of Wasted Youth

2020

[Verse 1]
I am human, I’m on the edge of breaking down every day, every day
Fears are looming like a redwood watching over San Francisco Bay, every day
[Pre-Chorus]
Taking my head out of the clouds was the craziest thing I ever did
Yet I’m supposed to believe that life is what you make it
[Chorus]
I’ve got an albatross pulling at my hair
The price I paid for life ain’t worth this cross I bear
The jaws of perfection are hungry for a little peace of mind
I’ve fallen into this labyrinth cause rose-colored glasses made me blind
And please God take away this heavy glass of water from my hands
So I can breathe again
[Verse 2]
I am human, I am only flesh and blood what more can I do?
And clouds of confusion paint the sky cause this life’s no walk through Central Park in June
And truth is sometimes you lose yeah
[Chorus]
I’ve got an albatross pulling at my hair
The price I paid for life ain’t worth this cross I bear
The jaws of perfection are hungry for a little peace of mind
I’ve fallen into this labyrinth cause rose-colored glasses made me blind
And please God take away this heavy glass of water from my hands
So I can breathe again
[Bridge]
I’ve got my back against the wall and growing pains consuming me
Got me thinking, does life get better after 17?
Cause I’m young, I’m black and queer got judgment everywhere I breathe
Constantly feeling society feed my anxiety
And honestly big ups to all my niggas trying to make ends meet
In a world where institutional troubles may follow we
So when they say that we ain’t fit for the American dream
We still the shit middle fingers to every glass ceiling
I'm overflowing
Falling slowly
Take this cup from me
[Chorus]
I’ve got an albatross pulling at my hair
The price I paid for life ain’t worth this cross I bear
The jaws of perfection are hungry for a little peace of mind
I’ve fallen into this labyrinth cause rose-colored glasses made me blind
And please God take away this heavy glass of water from my hands
So I can breathe, yeah
[Outro]
I am human, just one breath away from breaking down
