Glory Days
Ace Diamond Lyrics

I get up in the evening
I wake up late in the day

And I ain't got nothing to say
I have nothing interesting or important to communicate

I come home in the morning
I return home early in the morning

I go to bed feeling the same way
I feel repetitive and unproductive

I ain't nothing but tired
I feel exhausted and lacking energy

Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
I am feeling discontent with my current state of being

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
I need your assistance to uplift my spirits

You can't start a fire
You cannot initiate progress without motivation

You can't start a fire without a spark
You need inspiration to embark on new journeys

This gun's for hire
I am ready and willing to do anything to improve my situation

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if our efforts seem futile or we are clueless

Message keeps getting clearer
My perception is becoming more lucid

Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I am grooving to the music and trying to find solace

I check my look in the mirror
I scrutinize my physical appearance

I want to change my clothes, my hair, my face
I crave a new look to boost my confidence

Man I ain't getting nowhere
I am not making any substantial progress

I'm just living in a dump like this
I am situated in a mediocre environment with no improvement

There's something happening somewhere
I sense a change or opportunity somewhere

Baby I just know that there is
I am confident in my intuition that something better exists

You sit around getting older
Passing time without activity ages you

There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I am making a serious situation into a joke on myself

I'll shake this world off my shoulders
I will rid myself of my current mental and physical state

Come on baby this laugh's on me
I am now embracing a positive attitude and willing to make progress

Stay on the streets of this town
Remain in this town

And they'll be carving you up alright
People are very critical in this town

They say you gotta stay hungry
They say you have to stay motivated and determined

Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I am feeling desperate and devoid of inspiration

I'm dying for some action
I am yearning for excitement and adventure

I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I am tired of being unproductive and trying to write my story

I need a love reaction
I require positive feedback and support from those around me

Come on now baby gimme just one look
I am pleading for attention, to be seen

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
You cannot make progress when wallowing in grief

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we are not sure what our future holds

You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
You cannot move forward if you are consumed with worry

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we are uncertain about the path ahead

This gun's for hire
I am eager to work hard for my goals

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we lack clear direction or experience obstacles

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we are in the midst of uncertainty and insecurities

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
No matter how hard it may get, we must keep striving and dancing in the dark

Hey baby...
