Never Been Easy #originalsong

Description

I've been writing this song for a long time, but it seemed that it feels important that it be in the world right now. I think one of its messages is that there aren't any super heroes to save the day, just us.

(btw I added some piano and a wee bit of synth to the track, since it seems everybody else is having fun doing this! It's me playing my synth using VSTs in the Reason DAW, in case anyone is curious)

Well it’s never been easy / walking the streets at night
And it’s never been harder /to see/the world as steadily as you once did
So you’re feeling queasy/ and the world’s turned upside down
But you gotta keep moving along/and act like nothing’s wrong while it all is.

Superman and Green Lantern are not here to save the day
Wishing that you could call them/they'd know just what to say
Stop searching in the heavens for signs
You and I are gonna be fine

Mebbe there’s barbed wire / and you gotta walk through it all
And you hit the end /and find/ the world has changed its mind and you’re square one
Every morning rises/ like a road you’ve walked before
Tho it might be lined with tears/everyone has fears, but we still run.

CHORUS

Now you're getting older / it's not so alarming
Just a little bit colder/ You used to be charming

So it's a big production / and you want to change the game
When the spotlight hits you /it burns / And every minute turns to forever
So you use a lifeline / and you try to phone a friend
But they just won’t pick up their phones
We’re still so all alone when together


Superman and Green Lantern are not here to save the day
Wishing that you could call them/they'd know just what to say
Stop searching in the heavens for signs
You and I are gonna be fine / oh so fine
