2020 was a Bad Year

[Chorus]
2020 was a bad year
2020 was a bad year
And even though we've grown from our past fear
2020 was a pretty fucking bad year

[Verse 1]
Well, I guess that I'm back here- or we all are
Tryna stick together to prevent us all from falling hard
We might be putting up a fight and staying on guard
But this year was tragic, let me show you where the cons start:
Well, for one, they didn't, 'cause a global epidemic
Swept the world, keeping people inside and putting pressure
On the students, the election wasn't getting any better
Plus the riots and the fires, man, I try to keep my head up
But- how can I long for the days?
If those days never played
Been alive for a decade plus five and I might
Have to convince myself that my time's gone to waste
As my mind slips away, I can't hide from the shame
That a life I create can't rewind my mistakes
So I try to survive but I might hesitate
'Cause a life on my own is a life I can't save
And I ain't talking 'bout the fucking quarantine
I've been getting by without any kind of a warranty
Without any guarantee that I'll be the man I ought to be
Mind's just killing me and life's not a priority
See, I might not reach the places that I dream
But at least I have people that can help plant a seed
And grow branches from the tree when the roots are deceased
Shit, I turned a song about a year to a song about me
So...

[Chorus]
2020 was a bad year
2020 was a bad year
And even though we've grown from our past fear
2020 was a pretty fucking bad year

[Verse 2]
Have we grown from our past fear
Or has our past fear grown?
And crashed through the door like a bad product that cannot
Keep being produced 'cause it lacks on its own?
With others, he can grow and amass to a goal
But he also can't keep being a drag through the snow
Says it won't get better, you tell him that he should treasure it
But how on earth would he know? He won't be there for it
They fail, hate sells, see my life in grayscale
Can't write a thing for myself, forwarding chainmail
Can't tell where I'm ending or beginning
But I'm slipping too far, I know this fall may be fatal
Face pale, feel the imminent stress
Can I make it through or not? I mean, I guess it depends
We all have our ups and downs, so I'm placing my bets
That, by 2021, I'll just be broken again

[Bridge]
2020 was a bad year
2020 was a bad year
And even though we've grown from our past fear
Shit...

[Outro]
2020 was a bad year
2020 was a bad year
Have we grown from our past fear?
I guess 2020 was a pretty fucking bad year
