Lucid Lyrics
I vividly recall this feeling
That I'd never become unchained
From all those times before
When the hurt would pulsate
But I've reached new heights
Death is for the foolish
And now I know
I've finally woken up
It was a cold night
When it came to me
I knew I should and I wanted to
Let you go
I don't have time for goodbyes
I don't have patience for apologies
I've finally woken up
I've finally woken up
But I've been feeling far too free
To cage myself again
I want to give myself to everyone
Don't wait outside my window anymore
And please remember this
I promised you nothing more
Easy on the pressure
I've been there before
It's not happening again
This time it's different the conversation's real
Unlike you were back then
I've reached new heights
Death is for the foolish
And now I know
I've finally woken up
But I've been feeling far too free
To cage myself again
I want to give myself to everyone
Don't wait outside my window anymore
And please remember this
I promised you nothing more
Iron Years: A Darkwave Journey Through Passion and Pain
Delve into the hypnotic world of Iron Years, a darkwave and post-punk-inspired collective hailing from the vibrant Little Village neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. Born amidst a kaleidoscope of diverse musical influences and the poignant realities of urban life, Iron Years embodies an unrelenting desire to create and express.
