Everything for Nothing Lyrics by Citizens

Fear

2019

[Verse 1]
Head, up in the clouds
Wings of an eagle, heart of a coward
Under a spell, take down the teacher
Put on the crown, gather the gold
Well, I did what I wanted
Spinning out of control

[Chorus]
But when, I give all I have in vain
It doesn't matter what I build if it crumbles down anyway
And though I rise up before the day
I'm doing everything for nothing just to prove I got what it takes
But it's fake, I fade

[Verse 2]
Hand, tight to the plough
All for some pleasure
But it's wearing me down
Lulled by a lie
Won’t find something better
Then what’s already found

[Chorus]
But when, I give all I have in vain
It doesn't matter what I build if it crumbles down anyway
And though I rise up before the day
I'm doing everything for nothing just to prove I got what it takes

[Bridge]
But it’s fake, I can’t escape
I’m getting tied up, I want to give up
I don’t wanna fade, can’t be erased
I gotta open up, gonna give You all my love
Everything it takes, I don’t wanna fade
I don’t wanna waste anymore, I’ve opened up my hands, You got it all
I don’t wanna fade, 'cause when I fade, I’m falling faster and faster

[Chorus]
When, I give all I have in vain
It doesn't matter what I build if it crumbles down anyway
And though I rise up before the day
I'm doing everything for nothing just to prove I got what it takes
But it's fake
I fade

[Instrumental Outro]
