Note to Self (No. 81) - Horrorshow

I wrote this one with the windows open

To let in some fresh air, or maybe I was half-hopin'

I could fly away from it all, find a brighter day

But I’m here to live my life and I’ll find a way

I got to thinking, you know it ain’t so bad

I’ve got my friends and my brother and my Mum and my Dad

And I’m thankful for that, sorry I don’t show it enough

These are the people that I turn to when the going gets tough

What up?

I give thanks to my mates and crew

Like the boys say «together we gon' make it through»

And the same goes for you too, wherever you hail from

The words may change, we’re all singing the same song

It’s in the key of life, though we might forget the tune

From time to time man, we’ll be all right

Look at the metres gained, stand in today’s sun

You can’t yet deal with tomorrow’s rain

See that’s life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid

'Cause it’ll pass in the blink of an eyelid

So get your smile on, throw your hands high

Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

See that’s life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid

'Cause it’ll pass in the blink of an eyelid

So get your smile on, throw your hands high

Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

If these walls could talk, I’m not sure I’d want to listen

It’s a fine line between a game and a competition, but

Sometimes I sit back and look at how far we’ve come

And it’s hard to believe, it only just begun

Sometimes I wonder if you really understand

The drive that I find inside your encouragement

Sometimes I think about the days way back

'Fore the hurt crept in, tainted that household name

Love… that very household’s name

But now that house holds painful memories for some

Endless card games and road trip charades

Remember the good times, I’m sure there’s plenty more to come

See I’m here now, ear-to-ear now

Couldn’t see through the storm, but horizon’s clear now

I just wanna leave you with these words

No matter where each of us ends up on this Earth, for what it’s worth

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

'Cause what’s life but a journey of bus fares and train rides

Long days, late nights, kicks, snares and basslines

Hearts broken and tears shed

Good times spent with dear friends

From sunrise down to sunset

There’s still breath in my chest

So I’ma keep walking the line, no, I ain’t done yet

See I know it can be hard at times

But you only get one shot, don’t let it pass you by

So what if you haven’t yet met the love of your life?

So what if you’ve had your fair share of trouble and strife?

What I’m saying when I’m rhyming this verse

Is I realised we have such little time on this Earth

So from my people down the front to the kid up the back

Let me see you crack a smile if you feeling the track

Let go of your sorrow and be glad you’re alive

Let’s all be happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

See that’s life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid

'Cause it’ll pass in the blink of an eyelid

So get your smile on, throw your hands high

Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

See that’s life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid

'Cause it’ll pass in the blink of an eyelid

So get your smile on, throw your hands high

Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

Talk to 'em, Adit
