Patron Saint of Lost Causes Lyrics

(In the past)
I've been defined by fears
Not who I am

(What I believe)
Ridiculed into absurdity
as I desperately

Await my time

(Not anymore)
Now burdened with
Glorious purpose

(Not running away)
But towards
The world I want to see

Futility breeds apathy
but I'll never stop
I won't let go

Without this
I'm aimlessly drifting in space
My existence an accident
A fluke
Unintended
I'll go down fighting
Before I accept standing for nothing
I'll fight till my last breath
I will see change

I‘ll live to see change

Our rights
Are locked behind a paywall
A premium

An artificial limitation of resources
Put in place for the masses

Higher purpose can be found on earth
Serving your fellow man

Don't wait for a deity to step down
And fix the mess we made ourselves

We've gotta save ourselves
From the ones who call themselves peers

Won't stop
Even if it takes a lifetime
Progress over perfection

Take steps
In the right direction
It's better than sitting lethargic

Hoping to see the
horizon of a better tomorrow

Patron saint of lost causes
Is what they'll call me
Fighting a hopeless war
For the bigger picture

Climate change and animals and human rights and poverty
so fucking exhausting
I'd love to be ignorant

But I'm not blind
I can see and something
Has got to change

Join forces
Build bridges
To the palaces we aim to burn down

Voice of the voiceless
Homes for the homeless
Rights for all
No one to tell you who to be or who to love

Recklessly outspoken at every turn
Searching for answers
Asking all the right questions

Not sure where we will go from here

Recklessly outspoken
Aggressively articulate
On matters more important
Vitally urgent

Teaching others empathy
Seems sisyphean
But I'll roll that boulder
Till the sun burns out

If you don't care
If you're truly
Apathetic
To all of this

Perhaps it's time for you
To carve yourself open
And see if you
have a fucking heart

Patron saint of lost causes
Is what they'll call me
And I shall
Bear that title proudly
As I fight another day

But I'm not blind I know this
Will take an amalgamation
Of forces bigger than me so

Join forces
Build bridges
To the palaces we aim to burn down
