Name: The World Isn't Ending (Acoustic Demo)
Duration: P00H03M35S
Description: This song is a reflection on the idea that there is rarely, if ever, a linear path to inner peace. It's a song about the peaks and valleys along the way to finding that peace and that sometimes it's tough to even recognize in the moment when you're struggling or faced with adversity. Ultimately, you have to get up and keep moving.

lyrics

Underwhelming at best
Couldn’t finish my test
And I try to tell you
But my mouth is numb

The world isn't ending
The world isn't ending now

I got many things one might need
Why’s it so hard to feel free?
Can’t recall the feeling
Then I hear the remark

The world isn't ending
The world isn't ending now

And I know that what’s true for some
Can’t always be the same
I'm not trying to make this thing into a game
Yes it’s true there’s work to do, you should see the list
And I’ll condense it, so you get the gist

The world isn't ending
The world isn't ending now

Right back up on my feet
Mistook pain for defeat
But I'm singing loudly
Til I’m deep in the ground

The world isn't ending
The world isn't ending now
My hope is fermenting
The world isn't ending now
