Wonderful from Ticking Man by Christopher Sears

why are you here?
are you wonderful?
are you the one?
who told you then
you are wonderful?
now the games begun

if you knew what I knew you wouldn't stay here
you'd run away here
leave it all behind

but now you don't know where to go
this is all you seem to know
you're doing what you can to toe the line

it’s getting darker now
it’s getting darker all the time
will you find a way to shine?

how did you know?
you were wonderful
you must have believed

where did it go?
the wonderful
well everything can leave

so it goes
the story’s old
everybody tells you so
but no one can tell no one how to live

this is all you'll ever know
nowhere left for you to go
remember
what it was you had to give

it’s getting darker now
it’s getting darker all the time
it’s getting darker now
it’s getting darker all the time
will you find a way to shine?
