Writing and Reporting

So you say that you're tired of depressing songs

Well I'm tired of living them

You know, sometimes it takes all I have

Just to go through the motions

And I know it's hard to understand

That's probably why I don't have a hand

To pull me through to the light, say I'll be all right

So I sing this

But I'm not writing them

I'm reporting them

I'm living them

And I'm dying to

Live a life that feels alive

Where I can get back where I feel all right

And I can write my story and start living it

Instead of the other way around

I'm not going down

Sometimes I think I don't want to stay

If it's always going to feel this way

But I know that the life I've lived

Hasn't always been like this

And the thought of that gives me hope

That I can get back to the life I used to know

Where, with my eyes closed tight

The words I shout to the sky

And these stories—

I'll be writing them

Not just reporting them

I'll be living them

Cos I'm dying to

Live a life that feels alive

Where I can get back where I feel all right

And I can write my story and start living it

Instead of the other way around

I'm not going down

I'm gonna live a life that feels alive...
