First things first, I spent entirely too much time on this song. So, in an effort to make up for the fact that I haven't uploaded in who knows how long, I took a little more time and actually put together a lyric vid~ I'd also like to thank everyone who subscribed during my little break, its about time ya'll got something new. Now that that's out of the way, I guess I could talk a little about it: this is a Dashie tune that's gone through more iterations and changes than I can friggin' count. At one point it was even going to be solo piano, heh. Anyway, lyrics:
___________________________________________________
Follow your dreams, that's what they always told me
What it would be to wear that uniform so boldly
Now here I stand, in the trademark suit and mask
The same routines, and its not even a snapshot of what I

Saw in my mind
Just another daily grind

They might say it just gets better
While rainclouds fill the sky
But seeing is believing
And I know I have to try

I'm stuck in a glass limbo
Can't look you in the eye
Cause I'd rather just say nothing
than have to say goodbye

I was such a young mare, thought I had so much to bring
Wasted ambition, the view from the top's not what it seems
And I'm an empty husk now, can't amass my former drive
No where to go but back down now,
Is wrong that I'm still wanting something more

[chorus]

can I weather this storm alone
when you can't help me face the unknown
cause the dream I'm living just doesn't feel like home
And I don't think I can do this on my own

They might say it just gets better
While gray clouds fill my sight
but dark skies turn to rainbows
So I know I have to try

I'm stuck in a glass limbo
Can't look you in the eye
Cause I'd rather just say nothing
than have to say goodbye
