Lyrics: Ari Noble
Music: Ari Noble
When she was a kid
She told herself it would get better
That she would get rid
Of all the monsters trying to get her
But when she grew up she just traded what was under her bed
For all the monsters trying to crawl their way from out of her head
Through all the music of the city, she could hear what they always said
They said
That no one cares and nothing really matters
This is life, it's never getting better
Raise a glass to reality
Say "cheers" to all that you'll never be
When she was a kid
She dreamed of being a protector
A world in her head
Where no one ever would forget her
But when she grew up she just traded all the dreams in her bed
For all the nightmares that were waiting in the daylight instead
Through all the beauty and the heartache she could hear what they always said
They said
That no one cares and nothing really matters
This is life, it's never getting better
Raise a glass to reality
Say "cheers" to all that you'll never be
You'll never be
The infinite expanse that she will never know
The endless possibilities she's moving towards
And in the voices that are calling out her deepest fears
There's another voice reminding her that she's still here
"You don't have everything figured out, but you're still here"
And no one cares, nothing really matters
Live your life, fight for something better
Raise a glass to reality
Say "cheers" to all that you wanna be
You wanna be
