Bear McCreary, Mega Ran - First Day Out lyrics
[Bear McCreary, Mega Ran - First Day Out lyrics]
Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, first day out, can't wait
Yeah
Been locked down so long I lost track of the days
Threw my calendar away, as I sit back in a daze
Making marks on the wall and going out of my mind
I tried to take any route I could find, no escape
I'm guilty till proven innocent
Tryna do my due diligence
But sitting in a cage will make you militant
When ain't nobody listening
Screaming (but it sounds like I'm whispering)
Now apathetic, a result of my conditioning
Can't stop thinking 'bout my first day out
When i break out, and how it's all gonna shake out
Will my job phase out? Hyperlinks greyed out?
And when I get out, will I be smart enough to stay out?
Man, I try not to dwell on it
Questioning all my relеvance
A side effеct of arrested development
Everything's irrelevant
But self-preservation, with no reservations
I keep praying, it's the moment I'm awaiting
The feeling I've been chasing, the chains I dream of breaking
I see the gates raising, I push with no hesitation
Liberation, I been craving
It's amazing, my first day out!
Can't wait till they open up the gates
Yeah, c'mon!
Can't wait till they see my face
Yeah, without a doubt, on my first day out
Can't wait till they open up the gates
C'mon!
Can't wait till they see my face
Without a doubt, it's goin' down on my first day out
Uh, my first day out
Uh, can't wait, yo
Last few hours tick down
I watch the hands on the clock inch down
Way too nervous, can't even sit down
Walking, putting holes in the floor
Wondering how much I'll recognize and
And the surprises that are in store
Almost expecting some sorta technicality
Or a minor formality to bring me back to this harsh reality
I'm counting each second
Exhaling on each check-in
And looking for each blessing
The end of my depression awaits
Once I'm out of this place
I'm gone without any trace
I see my family outside of the gates
And they wave, I wave back, but something seems a bit off
I've waited what seems like forever to escape these brick walls
A siren to my surprise
Open my eyes, the moment arrives
Crossed every T and I dotted my I's
Held on through all of the grit and the grime
Now victory's mine
They thought that I'd be eaten by the demon
But I'm sweetened by the thought of freedom
Like the fruit in Eden
Time to carpe diem
My eyes are blinded by the sunlight
Peaceful like the aftermath of gunfights
You only get one life
Don't forget now
I'm about to make the most of it
And make those who doubted me throw a fit
Till it's over with
It's my first day out
Can't wait till they open up the gates
Yeah, c'mon!
Can't wait till they see my face
Yeah, without a doubt, on my first day out
Can't wait till they open up the gates
C'mon!
Can't wait till they see my face
Without a doubt, it's goin' down on my first day out
Can't wait till they open up the gates
Can't wait to escape, my first day out
Can't wait till they see my face
Yeah, without a doubt, on my first day out
Can't wait till they open up the gates
It ain't a game, I watch everything change on my first day out
Can't wait till they see my face
Without a doubt, it's goin' down on my first day out
Yeah
Been locked down so long I lost track of the days
Threw my calendar away, as I sit back in a daze
Making marks on the wall and going out of my mind
I tried to take any route I could find, no escape
I'm guilty till proven innocent
