JYanto - Strange Life Lyrics

It's a strange life, right?
Under the moonlight, I write
Whispered to myself at this time of night
Cause these ideas kept me awake, so wide
And I, wondered if I really tried
Not to the point I'd die, but to the point I'd lie
If I told you I backed down fighting the good fight

A short lived celebration, call it graduation
Walked in the lectures, felt detrimental
To my creativity, ability, to write melodies
So I kept myself busy, brought that thought ahead of me

One of my teachers believed
A little help for my fees, beneath cavity
I think he could see, this little spark in me
Shining like a sunbeam? I guess we'll see

Heartbreak pulled me away, scarred me, and kept me wide awake
Deterred the hurt, turned determined, to make it work
Wrote and mixed my heart, was a benchmark, a compilation
Of the emotion elation to pain, remember, this is how music can be made
Orchestrate, sampled a school solo given and laid
A new sound, it's coming back around?

Sometimes I wonder whether my life is a tragedy, rather be, 6 feet in the concrete under deep
It's at these trials when you can't stop to overthink
And I tried, and I tried, it's so useless
Push this, push that, I tried to show my talent
The ballot spoke to my mind and made me realize
That maybe some dreams just don't equate to real life

Nah

Still revived my sight, kept looking up with my two eyes
Fought the stage fright, sat down and let my kite fly
Wondering when the day will arrive when my flight comes

Hey future self, did I get the stage to shine
To change the plotline, turn a page in this life
And if I ever got the chance, did I grasp it?
Usually turn the other cheek, but here I'd get a hit
Practice makes perfect, that's your hat trick
You're not stupid, don't insult you, who is really perfect?
What'd you wanna be when you grow up, beauti-fool
I'm not really sure, sir, I just showed up, but I'd
Say I've been blessed with the quirk and burn to learn
To churn out my emotions with some chords
Word? Have you heard? Listen

Devil tried to stop me and kill in my sleep
Woke up with a text, asking are you still breathin'?
He'll keep on scheming and I'll keep on singing
Bout the truth, way, and the life, Jesus the real meaning

I'm strange, I know, my uniqueness of meekness
Wearing my little silly hyper-esque dressed belt
Act childish at times, get jumped by kids sometimes
Confident at times, but embarrassed if I try

Intrigued in the beats, and the story you could speak
Peaked around, I couldn't find a kid in my field, how?
Perhaps my story and song could change that now
And as un-cliche as it sounds, turn that frown, upside down

I love you all, whether you like me or hate me
I thank everybody who's cheering me on, but lately
I've juggled in my brain, was this in vain?
If so, I guess I'll finish school with a little shame
Then you could find me working at some day job
Sorry mom, gotta get my license, I forgot
I'll try something like ping pong or crocheting
Not a waste in this case, no need for someone to blame
I guess it couldn't be helped, eh, and that's okay
We all make mistakes, so don't make fun of him for his lateness
You can't lie though, this kid had heart, strong and courageous
