Firestarter Lyrics by New Yesterday

Uneven Growth

2017

I want to be the spectator
Not the participant
And just because my body’s here
Doesn’t mean my mind is

You see, I’ve got some things to do
Like clean my fish and feed my room

I see why you may think that way
Storms will come and fade away
But fossil records of the past
Show that bruises last
So keep on keep on keep on trying
Keep on keep on till your dying breath
Our lives are in your hands

Here comes Joyboy to save our souls
Son forgive us
Slash and burn the mess that we’ve made
The Firestarter

But Joyboys are in short supply
We have only ourselves
To rely on

I see why you may think that way
Storms will come and fade away
But fossil records of the past
Show that bruises last
So keep on keep on keep on trying
Keep on keep on till your dying breath
Our lives are in your hands
Our lives are in OUR hands
