The First Days of July

Fireworks light up the sky as I drive home

This familiar feeling instilled in me

But I'm on my own

I can scream out loud

Compete with the sound

And try to drown it out

So I roll on through the fire in the sky

Through the first days of July

I will not be defined by everything that's absent from my life

So what are we doing now?

Still trying to figure out if we should do this on our own

I say "better together"

You say "take me home"

I think you're scared and coming of age

Petrified of debts we'll pay

The cost of living accelerates

But believe in me

I'm not afraid

It won't stop until we die

Our brains are scrambled

Unbalanced

This is out of line

But still I try to look at you and see eye to eye

No it's not right

Nt's not right

But still I'll fight until the smoke begins to rise

And when it does will you be on my side?
