Cashing Your Reality Check

from The Wilderness by Settle Your Scores

lyrics

I’d like to say that everything will be alright, but I’m just not in the habit of telling lies.
The world is gonna kick you while you’re down but you can’t spend the rest of your life on the ground.
I bet you think that you’re invincible and the world revolves around you, but the harsh truth is nobody owes you a damn thing.
You’re stuck with the life you choose.

You’re on your own but you don’t know it yet.
Out here alone in the wilderness.
Nobody’s gonna give you what you want, you’ve gotta grab your chance and hold on.

I wouldn’t wish this uncertainty on my worst enemy, but it’s a part of growing up.
And just because you’re afraid of change it doesn’t change the fact that things will never be the same again.
So go on pretending that your youth isn’t ending.
You can lie to yourself but you can’t blame your fate on anybody else.

You’re running out of second chances and second guessing everything you do.
But while you’re wallowing in self-pity the world keeps spinning, it’s not waiting around for you.
Time to face the future.
Time to face reality.
Time to wake up.

The world won’t wait for you.
