A Million Lives

Charlotte Wessels


Out of a million
Of a million

Hey you
Scouring the grounds below
Where'd the elation go
From watching the flowers grow
Hey you
Scanning the clouds in hopes
Of something more grandiose
Out of a million lives
How could this be yours
Out of a million
How could this be yours

You reminisce and each word
Hits you like a molotov
How can you have the world
When you can't even shake the dust off
The smallest mistakes
To the heavens you pray

Give me fascinating, captivating lives
Give me everything, I'm beckoning
I'm so close I can almost taste it
Blood and thunder
Fame and wonder
Mesmerizing like meteor showers
Cosmic powers, sowing sunflowers
In fields of stars

Out of a million
Of a million lives

Hey you
Are you devoid of hope?
You're stuck in the undertow?
Well you're not alone
Out of million lives
How could this be mine

Give me fascinating, captivating lives
Give me everything, I'm beckoning
I'm so close I can almost taste it
Blood and thunder
Fame and wonder
Mesmerizing, like meteor showers
Cosmic powers, sowing sunflowers
In fields of stars

One in a million
One in a million
One in a million
One in a million

Give me glory or death
I'll have nothing less
I'll have nothing less
I'll have nothing
Give me glory or death
I'll have nothing less
I'll have nothing less
I'll have nothing

Give me devastating, captivating lies
Give me anything, I'm beckoning
I'm so close I can almost taste it
Blood and thunder
Fame and wonder
Mesmerizing, like meteor showers
Cosmic powers, sowing sunflowers
In fields of stars

One in a million
One in a million
One in a million
One in a million
