[Ollie - Visions lyrics]
I was cryin', layin' on that floor
Hopin' I would be a star
Forever wantin' more
If it's battle, I'll go to
War, fight my best, forget the score
We are the kids who always finished second
Half the time ignored
We're the kids who didn't take
No for an answer
The kids who fight their own battles
The kids who fought with these cancers
But always kept their head up
Didn't wanna be pampered
Understood the competition and stuck
With their standards
Didn't change for nobody
Because "popular" didn't matter
It was a meaningless factor that
Only lead to disaster
This is normal for a kid of my age
Tired of being inside this cage
Together we should turn the page
And take our spot, it's in the stage
But honestly
You understand what I'm given? I can't
Fake it anymore, I finally made a decision
I'm musician
So laugh, while I carry on my mission
And when I finally make it big
You won't get no admission hold on close
'cause I will bring you all along
Hear each other's voices
It's a never ending song
When you run your own path
There's no way to be wrong
Now sing, before the moment is gone
And I don't wanna go back (back)
I'd rather stay right here with you
And I don't wanna fall down (down)
When I was feeling so new
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears
(tears) i'm finally seeing
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears
(tears) i'm finally seeing clear
Listen, I understand cause I've
Been down too lost at all
Falling out and what I needed was you
You couldn't stand to bear the
Criticism we go through
Now I'm sittin' all alone
Thinkin' if what you said was ever true
See, we define ourselves by our actions
And if we ain't be yourself
Then you're actually actin'
And lackin' with passion
And you won't get no satisfaction
You be simply living life while
Your time is just passin'
So quit lyin', and open up the door yourself
Pursue the fairytale dream you had
When you were twelve
And don't listen to any opinions
That don't come from yourself
'Cause when you finally find success
You'll have a story to tell
You'll say, "They doubted and hated
Didn't believe I would make it"
And they would go back home
And listen the same music, but he's famous
It doesn't make sense, it's so ironic
We live in a world that's now bionic
Nobody listens until the world does
And that's honest it's not your fault
It's the way us people have become
We learn not to defend our hopes
But instead to have none
So what do you say? Let's
Undo what's been done
And start this new chapter
Where our thoughts may just run
And I don't wanna go back (back)
I'd rather stay right here with you
And I don't wanna fall down (down)
When I was feeling so new
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears
(tears) i'm finally seeing
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears
(tears) i'm finally seeing clear
Hopin' I would be a star
Forever wantin' more
If it's battle, I'll go to
War, fight my best, forget the score
We are the kids who always finished second
Half the time ignored
We're the kids who didn't take

The kids who fought with these cancers
