The Fighter Within (Vallely Outro)

[Intro]
I find myself wandering around the airport confused and empty
Gates pass over my head in repetitive numerical succession
I want to rest

[Verse 1]
Broken and my body is destroying itself
What’s the cost of labor when you employing yourself
I refuse to be abused on the road to the wealth
But either way I give up one it’s either money or health
My body bounced some checks that my mind can’t cash
Now these memories banks stock is starting to crash
Oxygen investors start to panic
I’m clawing at the walls shits making me manic

[Hook]
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna wake up the fighter within
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna wake up the fighter within
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna wake up the fighter within
I just wanna, I just wanna
Stand strong and let the story begin

[Interlude: Mike Vallely]
I feel it's as vital as ever
To get on the front lines and go to war
And try to put the good stuff out there
And try and inspire people and empower people

[Verse 2]
If I sail away, if I sail away
Will they find me on an island, shipwrecked in the sand?
Or will they find a bottle, will they find a bottle
Filled with all of my dreams clutched in my rigid hands?
I could have been a doctor
And they’ll cry over lost potential
Or will they go back and listen over my mixes
See the power that I held in what I did on instrumentals?
I’m a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow
I’m a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow
I’m a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow
I’m a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow
I wanted you to feel how I felt as a kid
Listening to bands and albums that no one else did
There's Terror, and the Misfits, and The Comeback Kid
Set Your Goals, Four Year Strong said to rise and I did
The Wonder Years are my favorite
Existential breakdowns over breakdowns
They helped me take down my favorites
They showed me how to not be sad anymore
Taught me how to pick the pieces from off of the floor
Such Gold taught me love for the city
They said to stand tall even if no one’s standing with me
So I’m gonna follow in they footsteps
And I'mma forge the path that no one has ever took yet

[Outro]
I’m a shooting star, here today but gone tomorrow
