Meant For More - Kharisma, Ianah Mae
As I sit between these four walls
I know that I was truly meant for more
So where do I go now
I’m tired of running in place
with no hope of joy or escape
Baby tell me is there no other way
From the second
that I clock in I feel locked in
and I gotta find a way out
Sit down take a seat
start a count down
as I watch the hands of the clock
make their way around
my neck as I sit at my desk
I look at my time
and what little is left
I wish I had the strength
to get up and be brave
before I lose my drive
and my spirit decays
Sitting in the mailroom
hoping I’ll prevail soon
before I feel frail face
paled from the same rou-
-tine while I daydream
hoping that there may be
a way to escape this
cycle of monotony
What has it gotten me
A bit of currency
to keep my floating
while I dream of where I want to be
I keep trying to outrun my flaws
because I know deep down
I was meant for more
As I sit between these four walls
I know that I was truly meant for more
so where do I go now
I’m tired of running in place
with no hope of joy or escape
Baby tell me is there no other way
because I’m really trying to find it
Searching for escape
but I’m feeling so blinded
reminded that everything
I need to be aligned with
is outside these walls
that I feel so confined in
I'm tired of running
I'm getting frustrated
I'm working for nothing
I'm losing my patience
I try to be calm but every morning
I’m waking up feeling lost
trying to find motivation
To go on and
just fight through the sadness
of knowing that I’m living
so far from my passion
Because I am dressed
in these business threads
I’m so stressed with these thoughts
running through my head
My heart aches with the feeling
I will never be
who I was meant to be
in a life that wasn’t meant for me
Feeling defeated when I hear it call
Because I know for sure
that I was meant for more
As I sit between these four walls
I know that I was truly meant for more
so where do I go now
I’m tired of running in place
with no hope of joy or escape
Baby tell me is there no other way
Cos I know who I am
I just don’t understand why I’m here
or what led me here
'cause I’m down and out of my mind
and I’m scared that I’m out of time
I try so hard but that’s not enough
As I sit between these four walls
I know that I was truly meant for more
so where do I go now
I’m tired of running in place
with no hope of joy or escape
Baby tell me is there no other way
I’m so sick of feeling unfamiliar
Looking at a stranger
when I look into the mirror
I see all the changes
and the problems I’m at war with
Afraid of my reflection
and the way it’s been distorted
I used to have high hopes
I said I used to have high hopes
But now everything is changed
and I’m feeling so damn ashamed
I’m fighting the wrong fights
while I’m trying to switch lanes
Trapped in a nine to five
that I thought would be the force
that would drive my music
further than it ever has before
But look at me know beaten down
fallen to the floor
and beaten into the ground
but I still hear the call
of my inner voice telling me
I am meant for more
