lyrics

[Verse 1]
We all hope to get that running start
To where we want to end up
I had those goals
Not formalised with paper on a wall
Held them high in my mind
Vocalised made it so far to fall
Boasting down those halls
And I put the work in
No rest for the wicked
2 hours sleep had me twisted
Determined to be depicted as this hero
The underdog who came from the bottom
To the top
Until breathing was hard and I was told to stop
‘You're not made for greatness’ diagnosis
Still pushed past this, kept focus
Couldn't feel I was broken, refused to be hopeless

Refused to believe I wasn't made for this
Born to be what we want to be
Watch my name drop from the heights
I wasn't quitting
Until after all my work I was admitted

I think a little bit broke, all my dedication shattered
I had built my dream and watched it in tatters
My heart couldn't take it, literally
My window of opportunity disappeared
With my dignity.

[Hook]

And I'll keep working, working
Work till I work this out
And I'll keep working, working
Work till I work this out
And I'll keep working, working
Work till I work this out

And I'll keep working, working
Work till I work this out
And I'll keep working, working
Work till I work this out
And I'll keep working, working
Work till I work this out

[Verse 2]
Think this was the conception of inspiration
6 months of inaction but I re-prioritised
Working on the skills I provide
Had the tools but never the drive

Hear the rumble of the ignition
Putting my mind into submission

That's when I watched the isolation
Between my peers and I
Putting the time into work over social they can't understand why
Understand my development, I don't vocalise
Now most of my life a surprise
Hear complaints, can’t sympathise, not rocket science
You work to get results, No rushing it
See people get results without work
No discouragement
Don't need others success as nourishment
