Breakthrough by Trwbador Lyrics
[Intro: Essa]
Burn bright
Burn bright
[Verse 1: Trwbador]
If your head's in the clouds
Even if you're searching for angels
You best look around
Because tripping on the curb can be painful
And if you get left on the ground
Sitting in the dirt will degrade you
A lot of people resent looking down
So they're indifferent, they turn not to face you
[Verse 2: Trwbador]
I'm figuring the words to explain to myself
How this is what the world really came to
And I think I'm on the verge of a breakthrough
Or a meltdown, can't certainly say
Who knows where I'm headed?
I don't even recall where I've been
Lucky I record everything
Absorb everything
Pick mics up
Pause and breathe in, then spill my guts
And I don't know why I do ignore the reason
I just feel I must
People ask what inspires me, real life does
Cliché but it's still right
Trust, just
Let the metronome sweep
Any old beat, watch as I go deep
Keep it in the red, hope the level don't peak
Nightmare on Elm Street
Bet I don't sleep
[Verse 3: Trwbador]
The sound of the harp, sweet
Temper that with the pound of a hard beat
And my heart leaps
All the way up to sharp peaks
No pierced tongue
But I do admit scarred speech
Preach
[Verse 4: Trwbador]
Uh, maybe I'm a chronic melancholic
Never gonna stop it
Maybe there's no use begging for the tonic
But as soon as it controls you
Then you've got to drop it
Graduated from the old school
Yes, it was with honors
Taught me all I know
Two lessons were the strongest
Nobody owes you
Never was it promised
And if it's not the whole truth, then it's probably gossip
Uh, so never mind the bollocks
I said goodbye to what was holding me back before
I don't need that no more
Letting loose and boost up the juice like a nuclear reactor core
Saying that doesn't seem that mature, but I mean that for sure
I'm amped, ample
Because all the darkness in the world
Couldn't block out the light of just one small candle
[Breakdown: Trwbador]
So burn as bright as you can do
Dwell on that for a minute
[Outro: Essa]
Burn bright
Burn bright
Burn bright
Burn bright
Burn bright
Burn bright
[Verse 1: Trwbador]
If your head's in the clouds
Even if you're searching for angels
You best look around
Because tripping on the curb can be painful
And if you get left on the ground
Sitting in the dirt will degrade you
A lot of people resent looking down
So they're indifferent, they turn not to face you
[Verse 2: Trwbador]
I'm figuring the words to explain to myself
How this is what the world really came to
And I think I'm on the verge of a breakthrough
Or a meltdown, can't certainly say

Lucky I record everything

And I don't know why I do ignore the reason
I just feel I must
People ask what inspires me, real life does
Cliché but it's still right

Any old beat, watch as I go deep
