lyrics

Despite strength and state of mind, I can never change the wind.
That's how it feels on a daily basis, never good enough, will never win.
If I knew where I was headed, how simple it would all be,
But it’s a constant battle of controlling my life and life changing me.

My efforts bear no fruit and I'm fucking starving for something that validates my being.
But if you're like me...
You never know who you can become until you get out and brave the storms.
Trust me I know, when it rains, it pours, it's a god damn hurricane.
But once it passes, you will be changed.
And you may still feel the same, but at least you'll know you have the power to endure whatever comes your way.

Design.
Define.

I don't know what time holds. (with every tick I tock)
Clocks are always ahead of me (with every tock I tick)
I can never catch up and it makes me sick,
but it makes me think that I'll be okay. (with every tick, I'll tock)
This is all temporary. (with every tock, I'll tick)
Resilient and eager for what life brings, I'll design, I'll define.
I'll design, I'll define me.

I believe it is me who sets the narrative,
I believe it is me who sets the limits.
And still that wind, it is blowing, unaffected.
I'll brace my stride and continue against it.

When I step out of my front door,
I take part in my present and future.
Nothing is foretold, destiny is waiting for for your hands to unfold her.
We are nothing but the choices we make.
We are nothing but the chances we take.
You are nothing if view yourself that way.
Are you a victim of circumstance or champion of fate?
