Long Time by AuSavant Lyrics
Long time since I was a young one, dumb one
But ignorance is bliss, Oh do I know that one
Drained to the point where fun is a commodity
When did it become that being unique is an oddity
Used to feel number one, dull delusions, no collusion
Now it’s never slumber done, null protrusions, institution
Used to be a header, now a weathered tethered friend
Gripping on ideas that I used to want to end
I mean it when I say I’m judged, Daniel praying
Seesaw with a growing weight, hard to keep on playing
Lеft and right it’s preach teach, influencе, install
I’m slippin, I’m melting, I’m drippin, they’ve breached walls
Ghostbusters fighting, marauding independence
They at your front door, knocking “we got presents”
Supposed to muster your essence, not acceptance
But most just accept the sentence, it’s easier
When did the walls fall, when did we stop trying acts
Check position, finding passion when did we start dying lax
Dying without fighting, but then who are we fighting for?
Who’s that in the mirror? A shell of you with no decor
Scooby you, where’s your identity at?
You took it and you sold it for amenities that
You thought would take away the stress of being bold
And now you’re just a zombie, barren and cold
Long time since i was a young one, dumb one
But ignorance is bliss, God, do I know that one
Drained to the point where fun is a commodity
When did it become that being unique is an oddity
Used to feel number one, dull delusions, no collusion
Now it’s never slumber done, null protrusions, institution
Used to be a header, now a weathered tethered friend
Gripping on ideas that I used to want to end
Comfort’s a depression, leads to, depression
Ruins your conception, accepting suppression
Its never progressing ecological succession
Now its taboo to show a little expression
Long time since i was a young one, dumb one
But ignorance is bliss, God, do I know that one
Long time since i felt love for everyone, might
Take the wrong path, but I’ve won, right?
Nevertheless, ever progressing
I’ll never rest, forever expressing
Never digress, treasure your blessings
Sever the nest, forward you’re pressing
What’ll you settle for?
What’ll you meddle for?
Who’ll you be better for?
Never be afraid to endeavor, to want more
Fight this shyness its a virus, to highness
Our climate, in a crisis, it’s lifeless
World takes sandpaper, tries to shape you
Give you bland nature, don’t let them make you
I used to be bright, colors shine in the night
Unstoppable charging to improbable light
That’s a long time ago, setting my eyes aglow
Finding the passion and fight go in alone
I like what I'm seeing, the life I want to live
I know it’s faux, though I guess I like the fibs
Took a paintbrush and tried to blend the whole color wheel
You’re bright, much? just another meal
Being deceived, has never been so relieving
Oh, no, they got me, I caught myself believing
I’m better off, safer off, scoffing not achieving
I’m better off, safer off, better never feeling
Listen to yourself, that’s your only cheerleader
Only true friend, should be your only tear meter
World’ll just go on and on without you
Its up to you to decide what you’ll amount to
Long time since i was a young one, dumb one
But ignorance is bliss, God, do I know that one
Long time since i felt love for everyone, might
Take the wrong path, and follow it but I’ve won, right?
Right?
I'm happy, right?
But ignorance is bliss, Oh do I know that one
Drained to the point where fun is a commodity
When did it become that being unique is an oddity
Used to feel number one, dull delusions, no collusion
Now it’s never slumber done, null protrusions, institution
Used to be a header, now a weathered tethered friend
Gripping on ideas that I used to want to end
I mean it when I say I’m judged, Daniel praying
