Desperation Lyrics by Dezirae Schalice

REAL

2019

(Chorus)
What slows us down
Is it the fear of falling
Of missing a step
Or missing a calling
What speeds us up
Is it the anticipation
The fear of death
Or desperation
Desperation, Desperation
(Verse 1)
I've cried in the street
And screamed bloody murder
Felt so incomplete
Couldn’t go any further
But I got to my feet
And I didn't give in
My heart found it's beat
And I knew I would win
(Chorus)
What slows us down
Is it the fear of falling
Of missing a step
Or missing a calling
What speeds us up
Is it the anticipation
The fear of death
Or desperation
Desperation, Desperation
(Verse 2)
Failure isn’t an option
I got something to prove
Both feet and I'm marching
I'm just finding my groove
Spent years being doubtful
Now I'm going all in
Spitting mouth after mouthful
Cuz I know I will win
(Chorus)
What slows us down
Is it the fear of falling
Of missing a step
Or missing a calling
What speeds us up
Is it the anticipation
The fear of death
Or desperation
Desperation, Desperation
(Bridge)
Growing up we're often taught
Desperation's bad
If you're trying to get caught
You must play hard to get
Well I'm desperate every day
And I’m ready for some change
I’m willing to risk it all
Earn my own curtain call
Well I'm desperate every day
And I’m ready for some change
I'm willing to risk it all
(Chorus)
What slows us down
Is it the fear of falling
Of missing a step
Or missing a calling
What speeds us up
Is it the anticipation
The fear of death
Or desperation
What slows us down
Is it the fear of falling
Of missing a step
Or missing a calling
What speeds us up
Is it the anticipation
The fear of death
Or desperation
