[Intro] I find myself wandering around the airport confused and empty Gates pa** over my head in repetitive numerical succession I want to rest [Verse 1] Broken and my body is destroying itself What's the cost of labor when you employing yourself I refuse to be abused on the road to the wealth But either way I give up one it's either money or health My body bounced some checks that my mind can't cash Now these memories banks stock is starting to crash Oxygen investors start to panic I'm clawing at the walls sh**s making me manic [Hook] I just wanna, I just wanna I just wanna wake up the fighter within I just wanna, I just wanna I just wanna wake up the fighter within I just wanna, I just wanna I just wanna wake up the fighter within I just wanna, I just wanna Stand strong and let the story begin [Interlude: Mike Vallely] I feel it's as vital as ever To get on the front lines and go to war And try to put the good stuff out there And try and inspire people and empower people [Verse 2] If I sail away, if I sail away Will they find me on an island, shipwrecked in the sand? Or will they find a bottle, will they find a bottle
Filled with all of my dreams clutched in my rigid hands? I could have been a doctor And they'll cry over lost potential Or will they go back and listen over my mixes See the power that I held in what I did on instrumentals? I'm a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow I'm a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow I'm a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow I'm a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow I wanted you to feel how I felt as a kid Listening to bands and albums that no one else did There's Terror, and the Misfits, and The Comeback Kid Set Your Goals, Four Year Strong said to rise and I did The Wonder Years are my favorite Existential breakdowns over breakdowns They helped me take down my favorites They showed me how to not be sad anymore Taught me how to pick the pieces from off of the floor Such Gold taught me love for the city They said to stand tall even if no one's standing with me So I'm gonna follow in they footsteps And I'mma forge the path that no one has ever took yet [Outro] I'm a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow (x8)
