This Won't Last Forever - Ceschi

Every single breath that I’ve taken has created me

Endless thank you’s to the women who raised me

Try to keep my head cool though life keeps burning me

Sorry that I never learned how to respect authority, forgive me

Mother I swear that I’m a grown man

You taught me how to walk holding my pinky in your hand

30 years later, bearded, ready for whatever

They can hold me down for now but this won’t last forever

Promise I’ll be back and better

Fallen 40 stories only bled

Been trampled down and beaten, left for dead

Gambled and I lost

Gambled and I won

Don’t think that i would ever take those bets back, none

From the bottom of my heart I believe in what we’re doing

And don’t care if it’s unattainable I’ll still pursue it

Oh my God I’m sorry for the sins that I was born with

But a life without a single sin is simply boring

Forgive me

Any minute now all could be gone

But I know together we’re strong

Any minute now all could be gone

Stay strong

Stay strong

Adolescent rage still swimming through my veins

Knew this world was unfair at an early age

Mother, I know they never paid you a proper wage

So thank you doubly for every sacrifice you made

If we reach the end of days or i ever lose my way

I’ll follow crumbs back to you and will never stray

Loved ones found

Loved ones lost

Just know that I will never forget any of them, none

They can lock me up for now but the seeds were still sown

And when i make it out I know that they’ll be fully grown

Never gave a shit about a boss or president

If we want some real change we need to make it with our friends

Back when I was 10, sang «Fuck the Police»

20 years later — know exactly what that means

They made it a sin to believe in equality

Called it criminal to fight in solidarity

To stop me they’re gonna have to bury me

Any minute now all could be gone

But I know together we’re strong

Any minute now all could be gone

But together we’ll still be strong

Barely fucking breathing I’ma keep fists swinging

Thank you Mother for teaching us to embrace our differences

Taught me to believe that everyone is worth the same

«They'll never take us out!»

I’ll scream it till I hit the grave

I could give a fuck about another ephemeral trend

I’ll never waste a single word trying to please them

One minute we’re here

Next minute we’re dead

It’s all about how we will be remembered in the end

The end
