“Holding my Tongue” is the first song by daysormay that is about social and racial justice. daysormay’s lead singer Aidan Andrews said that he started writing this song back in 2014, inspired by the social and racial injustice. Now, in 2020, the song is more than relevant with the protests going on,...
[Verse 1]
I been holding my tongue way too long
It’s got me going (Change)
Purgatory’s not where I belong
But I was terrified of using free speech at all
Living in the fear of an open mouth with nothing to say at all
Are you alive? How can you see this and still smile?
Are you alive? How can you survive, not wonderin' why?
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes under wool, it’s hard to see
Death on the sidewalks
I can’t breathe
[Chorus]
Streetlights
Post-life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Streetlights
Post-life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
[Verse 2]
Why does it always need to come to this?
Yeah, I think action usually does more than sentiment, yeah
So-oh-oh, don’t stop looking, don’t tap out, don’t go home
Because the longer this goes on there will be nowhere to go
So send your thoughts and prayers, words without action just move air
And we can find every reason not to care
[Chorus]
Streetlights
Post-life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Streetlights
Post-life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
[Bridge]
Too many post-life apologies
Never really sorry, never really honesty
Nothing’ll ever change if we’re just standing by, waiting for the right time
[Chorus]
Streetlights
Post-life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Streetlights
Post-life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
[Outro]
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
