[Chorus: Ekoh]
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
[Verse 1: Ekoh & Julian Comeau]
Fallin' from the pressure in this habitat
You're sick of feelin' like the one these people laughin' at
They tell you happy is the goal, but it gets hard when you're alone
And what you give to make it out, you'll never have it back, yeah
And you would think if he can see that, he would change it, right?
But what identity is left if nothin' plagues his life?
Retreats into his room and blasts the music loud
It's like a trans-reality for the moment and keeps him far away from
Daylight, daylight (Daylight)
Not know what it's like to feel
Like, why the fuck is there so much I gotta deal with
Just to stay right, stay right?
When everybody else is doin' fine on the factory settings
Then what am I, huh?
[Pre-Chorus: Ekoh]
They're puttin' on the masks just to breathe slow
Hard to be accepted when you won't attend the freak show
So he slips into the comfort of the night
By himself, where he spend his whole life
[Chorus: Ekoh & Julian Comeau, Julian Comeau]
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight (Oh)
When all it does is strain my eyes
[Verse 2: Julian Comeau]
Welcome to the show, he's got nothin' to show for it
Dreams don't pay, you gotta go for it
Feelin' on top of the world, so Steve is barely breathin'
Higher that you get the harder you fall and that's repeatin'
Take a photo for who we used to know
The ghost of the past, all our love was lost
And maybe they'll never know
[Pre-Chorus: Julian Comeau]
That I've been fallin' to the wayside
And I don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
[Chorus: Ekoh & Julian Comeau, Julian Comeau]
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight (Daylight)
When all it does is strain my eyes (My eyes)
[Outro: Ekoh, Julian Comeau & Both]
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight, yeah
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I (Daylight)
Don't want you to waste your time (My eyes)
Lookin' for the daylight
All it does is strain my eyes
