But It Is Lyrics by ​pulses.

It Wasn’t Supposed To Be Like This

2023

[Intro: Carson Pace]
Speak now, speak now
Speak now, speak now
Speak now, speak now
Speak now, speak now
[Chorus: Carson]
Speak now, forever hold your peace
So loud that all the rest will cease
Navigating what I never known
Keep on walking roads to home
[Verse 1: Caleb]
Sit back, enjoy the spoil
The innocence of luck and toil
Ambivalent to what’s to know
I’m waiting for what I am owed
A piece of gold, y’all control
So cold, the winter’s nothing to me now
Abandoned the practice of mental entrapment
We broke the mold
An evolution
To feel the truth in my soul
[Chorus: Carson]
Speak now, forever hold your peace
So loud that all the rest will cease
Navigating what I never known
Keep on walking roads to home
[Verse 2: Caleb, Matt]
Hey man, the bottle’s empty
It’s time to wrap it up and leave
I need the energy
To keep the message ringing clear
I’ve listened to my elders
To pen rule 4082
Be what you want to be
Not what the old dogs tell you to
I’ve got the best intention to listen
Into my heart and become whole
Ditch the curmudgeons, ignore the judging
Live in the present, drive like you stole
I wanna believe it, I’ll look in the mirror
Speak my affirmations and never stop running
I’ll never stop running, but not just away
Approaching the finish and starting again
[Outro Verse: Caleb, Matt]
We decided to give ourselves the flowers to start
Before we truly existed, before we knew what voice we spoke with
And here we stand at the crossroads
Like if any of this is for real or not
But it is
And it’s been more than we could’ve imagined
It wasn’t supposed to take us here
It wasn’t supposed to be heard out there, out that far
But it is
When do we convert the dreams to realities
When the idealism merges with the realism
When the doubts become clout
It is for me to define, but not to decide
To derive the placement of worth
To invite the heavens to earth
We rejoice in the distances traveled
Despite being in familiar spaces
The range might not seem large to you
But it is
Ending with some wisdom
To help us move on
It can’t just be like this
So I’m moving on
Those who undercut progress and manipulate the journey
Who spread poisons and attempts to control
Have been removed through the antidotes of anecdotes
Through the encounters and allies and loved ones
The enablers of positive movements
It may seem like they aren't omnipresent
But they is
So we must give you the flowers
Give thanks to the ones who provide context to our unmarked maps
For wherever we are lead from here
Whatever the future entails
It will be because it was willed by all that we encounter
It will be the way that it is because it is right
So let’s go
