Artifer - Brighter Side of Life Lyrics

As the days get brighter
I'm starting to realize
That I don't wanna be
A victim of my misery

Can't spend another second in my head
Until my previous traumas have been laid to rest
The here and now is where I should remain
I won't let myself fall back into the grave that I have made

I'm fed up with being static
Might lose my mind if I try to deny
I nearly lost myself to panic

I remember
So many times I've wished I was somebody else
So many nights I couldn't recognise myself
I can't let all of these things keep getting underneath my skin
I need to pick myself up and keep going
Tired of living this life out of the moment
I just want to try and look upon the brighter side of life

Wish I'd realized all of it sooner
That life is exactly what we make of it
Even though sometimes everything seems broken
I've got hope that everything is not as lost as it may seem

I know I can't be giving up
I need to set myself free

'Cause I remember
So many times I've wished I was somebody else
So many nights I couldn't recognise myself
I can't let all of these things keep getting underneath my skin
I need to pick myself up and keep going
Tired of living this life out of the moment
I just want to try and look upon the brighter side of life

I've started to notice that
I let my life keep flashing by, time seems to fly and I can not get ahead of it
Every day I fight a thought in my mind, a feeling I despise, I question why I insist
That my thoughts and happiness are something I can not control
When the hopelessness that got me here was my own

As the days get brighter
I'm starting to realize
That I don't wanna be
A victim of my misery
The self-hatred
That I've internalized
I will face it
And come out on top

So many times I've wished I was somebody else
So many nights I couldn't recognise myself

I remember
So many times I've wished I was somebody else
So many nights I couldn't recognise myself
I can't let all of these things keep getting underneath my skin
I need to pick myself up and keep going
Tired of living this life out of the moment
I just want to try and look upon the brighter side of life
