"ORCHESTRA OF SILENCE" lyrics
At 17 put the world on my back
That was my choice
It still is
That's my plan of attack
Tryna be the biggest in the world
But the walls gotta crack
I've seen through
It's just a bunch of people with heads in their lap
So, sometimes
Fuck the other side, if my grass getting greener
But I could never live with all the guilt of an underachiever
I'm a fucking complicated person
But under-believer is never a thing I've been called
I'm more of a lover and dreamer
More of a family boy
Could-never-stay-mad-at-me boy
Rapping-in-the-park-to-playing-Brixton-academy boy
Promise I'm as lucky as they come
And that's why I'm annoyed
I don't expect it scot free
I love Ally McCoist
I know I'm just having the joys
It was me that made the choice
Spoke into existence
It's just weird to feel that everyone can see you
But they can't
And that they're living your life from a distance
When it was me that couldn't sleep with unfiltered persistence
It's not the same as losing hunger
I'm just feeling lost
But if the people think I've lost it
Then that's what it cost
I really thought that I would save the world
But I'm watching it drop
But that's a child's innocence
And I wish we could swap
I need to be accountable
Because I am a man
I bottled it up for too long
Now, I'm chasing a can
The album sounds like this 'cause, now and then, the anxiety lands
So different genres weren't a choice
That's just still who I am
I need somebody to tell me the answers
All the constant self-reflecting's upsetting the dancers
I pray that someone understands
And I'm taking my chances
Music's way more than "Hakuna Matata"s
I'm still here
I'm leaving it all on the pitch
And if I sub myself, I promise I'll leave with a stitch
But when it's dark, it can't be helped
You just lean on a switch
And when I'm old, I guess, I'll just want to be with the kids
I get a message every day from a lad on his own
He said my music saved his life, and I threw him a bone
But it isn't like I'm here with some secretive code
The only answer is "I'm here, and you're never alone."
Check the stars about men
'Cause it's one every minute
I think the world should start again
So, I'm saying we bin it
And if you ever take a message away from my lyrics
It's that "If you're got a life, then I'd love you to live it."
'Cause someones's world breaks without you living in it
Think of life as every year is just a change of season
There's a summer 'round the corner, and you have a choice
I never wanted to be thought of as a voice of reason
But I'd love to be the reason that you have a voice
That was my choice
It still is
That's my plan of attack
Tryna be the biggest in the world
But the walls gotta crack
I've seen through
It's just a bunch of people with heads in their lap
So, sometimes
Fuck the other side, if my grass getting greener
But I could never live with all the guilt of an underachiever
I'm a fucking complicated person
But under-believer is never a thing I've been called
I'm more of a lover and dreamer
More of a family boy
Could-never-stay-mad-at-me boy
Rapping-in-the-park-to-playing-Brixton-academy boy
