I'm Not Waiting - Currents

It’s coming down on us all, time to watch the world fall

As we sit on the sidelines, all our pride is gone

But we can crush everything we’ve set in motion

If we choose to make a change

Instill in me the death of thoughtlessness, take out the sickness

I wanna find something much bigger than me

This feeling of darkness tears me down, living life under a black cloud

Through self-destruction, we’ll resist, we can be bigger than this

It’s time to wake the fire in me

Nothing here on Earth can hold me down, here on Earth we stand our ground

I just can’t help but be ashamed

That we didn’t take these steps in the first place

So I refuse to live this life and have nothing to show

I’m sick of watching it come down and holding onto hope

That someone else is gonna save the world

It can’t wait, but we can fix it with the choices we make

This is home, and I can’t let it go, but it’s dying slow

If we don’t stop, we’ll let it go up in smoke

I can’t just stand idly by and watch it die

It hinges on the next move, we can turn this all around if we chose

So I’m not waiting for you

I can’t see the future, but I refuse to stay on my knees

So I’m not waiting for you

It’s up to us to change the problems we see

It’s on me, it’s on me, it’s on me

I can’t see the future, but I refuse to stay on my knees

So I’m not waiting for you

It’s on me, it’s on me

It’s up to us to change the problems we see

That sinking feeling in my head

This planet’s slow and painful death

I try to put it all in perspective, but I can’t

Our world has gone to shit, and we just sat there, and we let it tear to bits

It’s time to wake the fire in me

Nothing here on Earth can hold me down, here on Earth we stand our ground

I just can’t help but be ashamed

That we didn’t take these steps in the first place

So I refuse to live this life and have nothing to show

I’m sick of watching it come down and holding onto hope

That someone else is gonna save the world

It can’t wait, but we can fix it with the choices we make

This is home, and I can’t let it go, but it’s dying slow

If we don’t stop, we’ll let it go up in smoke

I can’t just stand idly by and watch it die

It hinges on the next move, we can turn this all around if we chose

So I’m not waiting for you

I can’t see the future, but I refuse to stay on my knees

So I’m not waiting for you

It’s up to us to change the problems we see
