These Days

Sitting down with an ice-cold beer
Tryna express just how I feel
The words are stuck in the atmosphere
We need a storm to clear the air
Staring at a cold dark screen
A thousand monsters in your face
Remember when there was no such thing?
Now the truth is scarier than anything

These days I'm neither left nor right
These days I'm not too far from flight
These days, man, I'm just here holding on
These days have gone so wrong
They take their piece until it's gone, gone, gone
These days, man, I'm just here holding on

To watch the world just standing still
Whilst I sit all unfulfilled
As someone sells the next big thing
The government didn't feed their kids
Everyone go and pick a side
As hate and anger start to thrive
Since when did taking a knee
'Cause you, man, to lose your everything?

These days I'm neither left nor right
These days I'm not too far from flight
These days, man, I'm just here holding on
These days have gone so wrong
They take their piece until it's gone, gone, gone
These days, man, I'm just here holding on

These days don't see the white of your smile
These days I see the worry in your eyes
These days are starting to take its toll
These days I forget how to breathe
These days it's much harder to believe
These days, yeah, just how far we'd come

These days I'm neither left nor right
These days I'm not too far from flight
These days, man, I'm just here holding on
These days have gone so wrong
They take their piece until it's gone, gone, gone
These days, man, I'm just here holding on
Yeah, I'm holding on
Man, I'm holding on!
