"Anthem" lyrics

"Anthem"

I've been doin' the same thing
Expecting different results
A little late for my resignation, so
Someone fill up my cup
Put on a song that I don't know how to sing
Make up the words so I don't have to think
Here comes my favourite part
Where I drink too much
And I speak from the heart

I give up sometimes when it hurts
I get buzzed sometimes 'cause it works, yeah
I was lookin' for answers
But I found an anthem instead
I give up sometimes when it hurts
And I know that my rhymes ain't perfect, but
I was lookin' for answers
And I found an anthem instead

I'm no Superman, more like Clark Kent
In a phone booth outside my old Bed-Stuy apartment
Where everything changed
She said I seem different and I said, "I feel the same," so
Don't get me started who's more brokenhearted
You flirtin' with the shadows
But I'm one with the darkness, well
That's life as an artist, you bottle up the pain
You sing it to the people with a smile on your face

I give up sometimes when it hurts
I get buzzed sometimes 'cause it works, yeah
I was lookin' for answers
But I found an anthem instead
I give up sometimes when it hurts
And I know that my rhymes ain't perfect, but
I was lookin' for answers
And I found an anthem instead, yeah

And I found an anthem, yeah
And I found an anthem

I give up sometimes when it hurts
I do drugs sometimes 'cause they work, yeah
I was lookin' for answers
But I found an anthem instead
I give up sometimes when it hurts
And I know that my rhymes ain't perfect, but
I was lookin' for answers
And I found an anthem instead, yeah, yeah
