lyrics

I’m always told that someone else will fight for me
An ivory tower populace who knows just what I need
I’m done waiting for the movement that they promised we’d all see
Yeah it’s high time to push aside this stagnant apathy

So I’ll push on stronger than the day before
And I’ll keep on fighting back ‘cause I want more
And I’ll scream for change until my lungs are sore
No I won’t sit back and wait

I’ve finally come to realize that most won’t understand
Why at 25 I go to shows with Xs on my hands
But I don’t want your approval if it means molding to your shape
And I sure as hell won’t explain myself to keep you feeling safe

So when the path ahead gets overgrown, I’ll make my own way through

Yeah I’ll push on stronger than the day before
And I’ll keep on fighting back ‘cause I want more
And I’ll scream for change until my lungs are sore
No I won’t sit back and wait

You know that feeling, the judgement and the silent stares
Send your mind reeling, wondering if it’s wrong to care, so just
Hold your ground, just hold your ground
Just hold your ground, yeah hold your ground

And when the path ahead gets overgrown, you'll make your own way through

You’ve got to push on stronger than the day before
And keep on fighting back ‘cause you want more
And you’ll scream for change until your lungs are sore
No you won’t sit back and wait
No you won’t sit back and wait
No you won’t sit back and wait
