Around You was a track created for the Dreamlife Artist Dream Contest, but it ended up being one of my most content heavy and lyrically focused tracks that I’ve ever created. It’s a song that means a lot to me and focuses a lot on my issues with the government and just trying to operate under the ru...
[Intro: Breana Marin]
(Humming)
Keep Angels around you cause
These days theres no-
Keep Angels around you cause
These days theres no promises
I'm careful with my moves cause
Nowadays theres no second chances
Theres no second chances
(Humming)
[Chorus: Breana Marin]
Keep angels around you cause
These days there's no promises
I'm careful with my moves cause
Nowadays theres no-
Keep angels around you cause
These days there's no promises
I'm careful with my moves cause
Nowadays theres no second chanc-
[Verse 1: Control]
A Politicians synonymous, with the opposition
So caught up in image, that most of them just forgot the vision
Less about the common voices, it’s a competition
We’ll be casting votes, without a choice of who we’re really picking
I got a question, why they questioning all my concerns?
Can I really right the world if all I’m doing’s writing words?
Cracking down on mass appeal and hatching up a scheme
They got the people losing touch they cause a crack up on the screen
There has to be, a scattered few of the cabinet members that’s not pretenders
I be doubting whether most of them are representa-tive
Of all the younger kids, if they’re pursuing selfish bids
A shame to see a million voices really don’t amount to shit
I’m probably sounding preachy I just tell it how it is
Messaging the Parliaments like addressing a pound of bricks
And that’s exactly why my generation’s dreading votes
All I ever see us doing constantly’s electing Jokes
[Chorus: Breana Marin]
Keep angels around you cause
These days there's no promises
I'm careful with my moves cause
Nowadays theres no-
Keep angels around you cause
These days there's no promises
I'm careful with my moves cause
Nowadays theres no second chances
[Verse 2: Control]
So there you go, man what a life we’re living
We’ll just try to build a house with the pebbles that we’ve been given
We’re not fitted with instructions to build a bridge for division
So I’m only met with silence, when questioning my decisions
I refuse to turn to violence, in crisis there’s no revisions
Irony, of gripping metal, its cages you in a prison
And that’s the never ending cycle of tests
There’s no need to try to break it just have faith that you’re blessed
Cause, In the darkest of places, can’t succumb to the shadows
The emotions rope you in, choke you, until you’re hung from the gallows
Shallowest intentions, can lead to some murky waters
If you look below the surface, the waves are barely important
The chance is on the table, I’m trying to secure a place
Some contestants never enter from fear they could lose a race
But since my purpose in this life is a mission for inner peace
How could I be really happy refusing to chase a dream?
[Chorus: Breana Marin]
Keep angels around you cause
These days there's no promises
I'm careful with my moves cause
Nowadays theres no-
Keep angels around you cause
These days there's no promises
I'm careful with my moves cause
Nowadays Theres no second chances

This is my favourite song lyrically I’ve ever written and I’m very proud of it, plus I just think it sounds really good personally.
