"I Won't Stay Strong" lyrics

I was a kid
I gave my trust left and right
Juggling with hot stones and cold knives
All of my anger, now I've left it far behind
It turned into euphoria

But you know it won't last long
You know I'm back from the storm
You know I won't stay strong
Oh, oh, but you know that I had to ring the alarm

The older I get, the more I'm afraid
It's a mystery what I've drunk to stay awake
They said, "Boy, be careful
Artists end up tortured with time"
Quiet strength
I'm in my prime

But you know it won't last long
You know I'm back from the storm
You know I won't stay strong
Oh, oh, but you know that I had to ring the alarm

Flashback
Shortcut, sliced
I dismiss it every time
I was too young to forge my conception of time
Twenty years passed in a trice
Help me welcome my
Flashback
Shortcut, love signs
I'm falling every night
I was too blind to
See your conception of the distance
Uncommon instants
Lost in the stars
Off the radar
Too silent, I'll be kicked out
Gimme one last try
Gimme one last try
