Currents – I'm Not Waiting lyrics
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
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
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
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
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

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