about

There is something to be said about trusting your ability to conquer whatever is in front of you regardless of how impossible it may seem. Peter’s childish resilience allows him to conquer seemingly impossible tasks such as flight, defeating pirates, and even sustaining life off make believe food.
With this song I wanted to capture that idea of resilience. I wanted showcase that how even when things are at what seems to be their worst, it does not necessarily have to mean the end. You can push through rough times, and things can get better. It just requires that you stay strong, power through, and be the change which you want to see.

lyrics

I’ve got a broken ticker.
I’ve got an empty bottle.
I’ve got a long walk off a short pier.
I’ve got endless excuses.
I’ve got my feet on the edge.
I’ve got to shut the voices up in my head

And I will persevere.
And I will conquer my fears.
I will persevere.
You can’t conquer me here.

I’ve got so many vices.
I’ve got a problem with change.
I’ve got to get better or stay the fuck down.
I’ve got endless excuses.
I’ve got to take the blame.
I’ve got to get better or check the fuck in.

And I will persevere.
And I will conquer my fears.
I will persevere.
You can’t conquer me here.
Yes I will persevere.
Yes I will conquer my fears.
I will persevere.
You can’t conquer me here.
I wont back down.
