lyrics

Everybody wants to make it to the big time
But I'm making myself sick just for a cheap rhyme
And i've been talking to my friends who write like summer never ends
And they're all crumbling underneath their veils of sunshine

Nobody wants to fade away
But nobody really wins this game
If nobody's happy anyway
What's the point in trying just for trying's sake?

Everybody wants to feel they're going somewhere
But watching my esteem falling to get there
And I've been talking to my friends who say the judgement never ends
But there's no value in complaining that it's not fair

I never needed lights and fame
Just a few folk who love my name
I'm trying to love the present day
And make art for arts sake on my way

Everybody wants to get out on the main stage
But I cry each time I think about the long wait
And I've been talking to my friends who say it's a means to an end
But this black dog will hunt me down before the end ever comes

Nobody wants to fade away
But nobody ever wins this game
If nobody's happy anyway
And what's the point in trying just for trying's sake?

Oh I never needed lights and fame
Just a few folk who love my name
I'm trying to love the present day
And make art for arts sake on my way

Everybody wants to make it to the big time
But I'm making myself sick just for a cheap rhyme

Simeon Hammond Dallas is a singer-songwriter from London’s Camden Town. An overactive mind and a desire to live a life like a travel montage from a rom-com provide the inspiration for her music; a folky bluesy country-soul amalgamation. An enemy of dichotomy, her music is soft and vulnerable while packing a punch at the same time. ... more
