This makes me so incredibly happy. Drew, you are an amazing light in this world. Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful music. And thanks to everyone else who was a part of this. So beautiful. :)
I got a chance to preforme this with drew playing the piano as me and members ofc my high school drama club bot to have solos and I got to sing backup. It was an experience I will never forget and will always remember it Drew if you see this, thank you for everything you told us the day you came to our school and we had the q and a and I thank you and hope we could collaborate again.
I’ll hit the wall, and I won’t even know it Until you peel my body off the bricks I try to breathe: my lungs can’t even hold it in I exhale Ten years of fearing every turn I was taking Even while pretending not to be I cut the vein and hope that you see it bleed Oh, no, I exhale I can’t fail I’m living in what started out like a dream I’m working for the thinkers on the scene I’m fighting for the chance to be undefined I’m leaving something behind I’m waiting for this messy light to turn green I’m hoping for the chance to wipe it clean I’m dying for the ones who come to the show I’m leaving something when I go All I know, ‘cause even when it’s over I’m leaving something when I go You jingle keys to find that’s far from an option You’re serving babies, faces made of stone You scream through tears to get the baby to laugh, oh just exhale Push through the city, wear your pain like a jacket You walk with giants, but they’re in the clouds sometimes you stretch to reach the top of the stack, oh dont exhale Cannot fail I’m living in what started out like a dream I’m working for the thinkers on the scene I’m fighting for the chance to be undefined I’m leaving something behind I’m waiting for this messy light to turn green I’m hoping for the chance to wipe it clean I’m dying for the ones who come to the show I’m leaving something when I go All I know, ‘cause even when it’s over I’m leaving something when I go All that I hope for Is all that I question Is there a rhyme or a reason Or a method to the madness I’m open to suggestion Remember that it’s real: the need to create it The very thing that fulfils you Water’s fine, jump inside Sometimes the very thing you live for Is the thing that can kill you Water’s fine, jump inside Sometimes the very thing you live for Is the thing that can kill you Sometimes you’re standing where the noose should be hanging Sometimes a legacy gets tied in knots swing from the rafters watch the artist hes dangling oh cant exhale fly or fail I’m living in what started out like a dream I’m working for the thinkers on the scene I’m fighting for the chance to be undefined I’m leaving something behind I’m waiting for this messy light to turn green I’m working for the chance to wipe it clean I’m dying for the ones who come to the show I’m leaving something when I go All I know, ‘cause even when it’s over I’m leaving something when I go When I go when I When I go
I return to this song everyday! It is just great! Great music, great lyrics, great singing. The range isn’t particularly difficult, but the constant rhythm changes are a real challenge. Would I need special permission if I wanted to sing this on my YT or FB channel which, believe me, nobody visits?!
Why does this sound so familiar? Have parts of this been released? Like I’m 100% sure I’ve heard the beginning before and also the “i exhale” parts. I’m losing my mond
