Romance of the Young and Alive

Dwayne the Singer on the beat

I'm hanging on to life as I chase my dreams and still, they seem so out of sight
Hold on to one more night, with all of my might
I'm pushing through my fear as I'm fighting back so wipe away all your tears, don't cry
I'm dancing to the sky, I won't be denied

I'm in my prime, my time to shine, inside my wallet, not even a dime (Dime)
Impurities in my proximity, gotta get rid of my anxiety (Anxiety)
Young Plato, pursuing knowledge so I got to be quick (Quick)
Toxic, my mind's blocking thoughts of hearing the clock tick (Tick)

Living fast, I'm living young and that's my fate (Fate)
Standing still, I'm making trill, I won't hesitate (Hesitate)
I'm in too deep, infused with music, can't turn back now (Now)
Chasing millions in this race and I can't go down (Down)

I'm reaching for the top of the world when I'm hurting inside and I feel alive
And as the sun goes down on me, I will try
I'm running out of patience and in my mind, voices are telling me to strive
No one can stop my drive, see it in my eyes

One at a time, in the depths of the night, I'm going through the worst pain of my life (Life)
Voices I hear, whisper in my ears, tell me to give up and squander my fire (Fire)
Insult, trying to keep me from taking what should be mine (Mine)
Difficult, fighting underground with my life on the line (Line)

The voices in my ears, they just won't let me be (Be)
Forever with these noises, I just want to be free (Free)
Consoling myself, only I will hear (Hear)
Alone in this world, while ignoring fear (Fear)
