lyrics

What a beautiful, terrible life. Full of wonders and full of such strife. Once you run out the door, next you’re dead on the floor. What a beautiful, terrible life.

And they’ll watch you and squeeze you so tight. Trying to use all your brightness to fuel electric lights. Though I know we might die as we’re trying to fly, baby, I’m not going down without a fight. I’m not going down without a fight.

What a wonderful, horrible time. Some will reason and all will forget to rhyme. What a cathartic scene, what a nightmarish dream. As it all falls apart, don’t bury your heart. Cause’ I know it gets hard, it gets so fucking hard. Just promise me that, you’re not going down without a fight. You’re not going down without a fight. We’re not going down without a fight. We’re not going down without a fight.

Mars Ray recommends:

I'm Not Jack Terricloth
by I'm Not Holden Caulfield

One of the most talented songwriters I know, period. Especially rec "Fluid", which addresses being non-binary. Do yourself a favor and take a listen to these fantastic songs. Mars Ray
