about

We're In It is a song about humanities desire to achieve some type of after life. Constantly waiting for what is next instead of being present in the moment. If we were to really stop, look and listen, one might realize that we are already in our own heaven or hell. There is nothing waiting for us so it's best to live it now, cause "We're In It!"

lyrics

For some its heaven or its hell.
Well it's Hard to tell who's well.
A need for something beyond this life, wasting so much time.
Lookin on, from what's wrong,
not knowing what to do, except kick off these old shoes.
Cause I'm gonna buy myself, a shiny new pair of something over there.

Some people Just waiting,
waiting for heaven or hell.
Down here with no sound, as far as I can tell,
Some people just waiting,
waiting to save to me.
Up high, with no sky leaving you be,
Without such, there ain't much. So waaaake up.
There's no key to being well,
except living in your hell,
cause we're in it.

Verse 2
This place can be heaven for some and hell for another one.
If you fail, ya done well. You'll learn to tell,
That It's a choice cause ya have a voice,
In ya head, and under your bed.
You been sleepin on, all along.
There's nothing waiting at the end of this song.

Chorus
Some people Just waiting,
waiting for heaven or hell.
Down here with no sound, as far as I can tell,
Some people just waiting,
waiting to save to me.
Up high, with no sky leaving you be,
Without such, there ain't much. So waaaake up.
There's no key to being well,
except living in your hell,
cause we're in it.

Cause we’re in it 3X

Bridge
You're still living in your head! You're still living in your head!
You're still living in your head!

Chorus

I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Cause we’re in it,
Cause I’m in it, I’m in it.
