lyrics

Sirens and city lights
Streaming in through my stuck window
Just some small-time open mic
But I’m running about a half pint low

I’ll dip into what I’ve saved up
Yeah, I’ll still have just enough
For a couple months
Oh, I’ll be golden once
I get in with the right ones

Older long-haired man hunched at the bar
Nursing his beer
Knows I’m nervous
Might have gone too far
Say’s “This will help you think clear”

As my name is called I feel it
Kicking so violently in
Stumble through some worn out tunes
I learned when I was beginning

See myself outside
And realize I’m not alone
It’s that same man
Doing what he can
To help me stay afloat

“I couldn’t help but notice that you
Seem pretty down
I used to sing my songs on this stage, too
Back when I was new in town”

“So try to have a good time, son”
“Youth is wasted on the young”
Won’t do much to quell the fear
To say it’s all downhill from here

But now I know just what I need
Just why this means so much to me
To fight the slow fade into obscurity

It might seem tragic
To some, perhaps a little cliche
To do as my idols have done
To try and live on in this way

But it would be no life at all for me
I’m not afraid to die
So long as it’s a blaze of glory
And not a long, painful goodbye
