Anyway
Embracing Life's Contradictions
Lyrics
Two bit philosopher with pointless proclamations on his t-shirt
A person with superficial philosophical ideas expressed on their t-shirt
Holding it together through a futuristic world that can't be much worse
Coping with a future that seems bleak and challenging
What did you say, what did you do, what did you lose
Asking about actions taken, words spoken, and things lost
You know that love ain't gonna make itself
Love needs effort, it won't happen without action
Sleep through the day, nothing to prove, how do you choose
Choosing how to spend time without feeling the need to prove oneself
With all the colors taken off the shelf
Feeling limited or constrained creatively
I ain't gonna mind read, mind read
Not trying to guess what others are thinking
Cut me I will still bleed, still bleed
Even if hurt, emotions are still present
When you've burned through the lies
When falsehoods are exposed
All the jokes all the rhymes
Despite humor and cleverness
No one's gonna stop you from falling
No one can prevent someone from experiencing a downfall
Though I'd do it anyway, 'cause there's nothing left for us to say
Acting despite knowing there's little to communicate
I know I shouldn't but I did it anyway
Recognizing what one shouldn't do but doing it anyway
Always remember the terrorists of time well they ain't friendly
Remembering difficult times or moments of terror
All those decisions baby, their empty sound rings so profoundly
Realizing that significant decisions feel hollow or lack meaning
Summers they ache, summers they break, summers they waste
Summers bring pain, sorrow, and a sense of loss
Your empty body of the bitter tears
Feeling emotionally drained and depleted
You've run around, chasing a sound, you've never found
Pursuing an elusive ideal or sound without success
To keep you going through the leaner years
Trying to find something to sustain during difficult times
Patience ain't a virtue, virtue
Implying that patience is not always a valued quality
Dreamers can't hurt you, hurt you
Imagining or dreaming doesn't cause harm
If you live through it all
If one survives through experiences
May as well lose it all
Suggesting that losing everything might as well happen after surviving
Nothing's gonna stop you from falling
No external force will prevent someone from experiencing a downfall
Though I'd do it anyway, 'cause there's nothing left for us to say
Choosing to act despite the absence of meaningful communication
I know I shouldn't but I did it anyway
Acknowledging awareness of the wrong action taken but doing it regardless
