One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
I hope you know that I'm trying
To build a life that I can love
I hope I never stop dreaming
I need something I believe in

[Pre-Chorus]
I dip this world in black and white
Monochrome igniting
I'm gonna be a neon sign
Let the ship rest cause I'm lighting up the city

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna wake up wondering
Where the years have gone
Not gonna be another sell out zombie
Wondering what went wrong
I'll never give up
I'll never back down
I'll never be another zombie in a life that's not my own

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna be nothing, no
There's nothing that scares me more
To live a life without meaning
Where I'm screaming
Behind close doors

[Pre-Chorus]
I dip this world in black and white
Monochrome igniting
And I'm gonna be the brightest light
That anyone has ever seen
Dare you to look at me

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna wake up wondering
Where the years have gone
Not gonna be another sell out zombie
Wondering what went wrong
I'll never give up
I'll never back down
I'll never be another zombie in a life that's not my own

[Post Chorus]
Zombie, zombie, zombie, zombie
Zombie, zombie, zombie

[Bridge]
Please don't ever let me be
Another one of those de-e-ad zombies
Zombie, zombie, yeah

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna wake up wondering
Where the years have gone
Not gonna be another sell out zombie
Wondering what went wrong
I'll never give up
I'll never back down
I'll never be another zombie in a life that's not my own

[Post Chorus]
Zombie, zombie, zombie, zombie
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Zombie, zombie, zombie, zombie
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
