Tears and Fears by The Students of Ryerson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In life, the one thing I don’t want to do is fail
People tend to bail
My life’s going off the rails
These dark thoughts keeping me up at night, my mind’s become a jail
Don’t let stress turn your passion into something stale
Don’t let them press you and leave you in a coffin with a nail
With a nail, with no fail, like the Batman Christian Bale
Because when your mind is what goes off the rails, maybe it's just asking you to set sail
[Verse 2]
But sometimes, things could be a bit better
If I wasn’t such a pussy, I really could’ve met her
It’s quiet now but not forever
You say that I’m better, why don’t I feel better?
Why didn’t you answer, letter after letter?
My mind has become a void, I hope it can heal with no error
When they see me in the streets, their hearts fill with terror
The things we sell are not yet severed
[Verse 3]
Life ain’t that bad, in the dark there’s light
Even when everything is out of sight
Talk to the demons under your bed, in your head, and put up a fight
Tell me I’m doing fine, tell me it’ll be alright
I can’t see in this dark, dark night, but I hope someday soon, dawn will break light
You struggle now, but wait till night, then we see whose man and not
Who backs down and who's gonna fight
But even as I climb, it feels like I'll never reach my peak height
So here I remain, lost and in pain, grasping towards the ever fading twilight
In life, the one thing I don’t want to do is fail
People tend to bail
My life’s going off the rails
These dark thoughts keeping me up at night, my mind’s become a jail
Don’t let stress turn your passion into something stale
Don’t let them press you and leave you in a coffin with a nail
With a nail, with no fail, like the Batman Christian Bale
Because when your mind is what goes off the rails, maybe it's just asking you to set sail
[Verse 2]
But sometimes, things could be a bit better
If I wasn’t such a pussy, I really could’ve met her
It’s quiet now but not forever
You say that I’m better, why don’t I feel better?
Why didn’t you answer, letter after letter?
My mind has become a void, I hope it can heal with no error
When they see me in the streets, their hearts fill with terror
The things we sell are not yet severed
[Verse 3]
Life ain’t that bad, in the dark there’s light
Even when everything is out of sight
Talk to the demons under your bed, in your head, and put up a fight
Tell me I’m doing fine, tell me it’ll be alright
I can’t see in this dark, dark night, but I hope someday soon, dawn will break light
You struggle now, but wait till night, then we see whose man and not
Who backs down and who's gonna fight
But even as I climb, it feels like I'll never reach my peak height
So here I remain, lost and in pain, grasping towards the ever fading twilight
