I'm trying to keep my head above the water... but it's rising
Riding on a wave that's been crashing since arriving
I'd like to live before I die... no surviving
In a world where the will to conquer becomes compromising
I'm caught... Right inside the calm, where all I feel is peace
I let it fill my heart with love until it's time to leave
And this is when I saw my first step taken
Before I started walking, without even knowing what I'm chasin'
Forgetting where I've been or even who was there to share it with
We can swap a million stories, then compare embarrassments
I took it with me and I mixed it with pride
So could find the virtuous that only vices provide
I think I got it... Right when I get it is when it slips
And becomes space to separate the pieces that don't fit... shit
Barely floating, but I'm getting by
Got myself a bubble that's comfortable, so I sit inside
Looking out the window at the world flying by...
Looking out the window at the world flying by...
I look around at where I'm at and try to love it
Cause I know, the more you hate something, the more it gets destructive
So take what I can get and build from it
From the ground, growing up until it's time for judgement
I'd like to live a life where satisfaction is in abundance
Where happiness does not depend on millions, thousands, hundreds
Or any type of man made monetary value
That eventually becomes the very reason that you doubt you
If I knew how to... I promise, I'd be perfect
But no magician showed me any tricks that's worth the worship
Word... But I'm still working for that one way ticket
That keeps the personal possessions on the ground when I'm lifted
No one reaching for my feet to pull me down when I'm risen
Outside the wingspan of gravity that's bound to forbidden
Above the clouds, where I'm sitting... Finally, I feel weightless
And there's a way to get to where you want without losing patience
And I can taste it...
Barely floating, but I'm getting by
Got myself a bubble that's comfortable, so I sit inside
Looking out the window at the world flying by...
Looking out the window at the world flying by...
It's whispering inside my ear
It's irritating all my patience, wishing it was here
I hear it speak as thought it knows, I'm always listening
I'll let it lend its wisdom, knowing that it's worth remembering
We're only visiting victories short lived
Like its interesting, isn't it? How infinite has a kid
Then completely changes everything directly in a sense
And ever since the dawn of man, we can't collect some evidence?
At least enough to truly prove what I've been after
If afterlife is after me, I'm ready for the rapture
I try to wrap my head around the reason I keep reaching
And the reason being is because believing needs critiquing
I teeter on the edge until I turn around
And ride the tidal wave into the eye of the storm to calm me down
Keep it down... Hold it down until it drowns
Drink the bloody water washing up on shores in every town
Along the coast, soaking up the sun rays for warmth
I walk a tight rope, unstable, swinging back and forth
I force myself frequently to face the fading
Of a fate that can't remember why its life was worth the saving
And it's amazing that I make this shit, in my opinion
I could've died a thousand times, but I continued living'
I really like this place, despite how much I think I hate it
Have to write a million songs in hope that one can finally make it
And maybe this ain't meant to be... If that's the case
Then why the fuck would I be writing rhymes with ink that can't erase
Raise it up so they can see the sacrifices that I make
And maybe all I am is nothing, capable of being great
Everybody's got a purpose, everything is in its place
And I know it's bound to happen, I don't know the time and date
All I know is that it's here and now or never
Insert the dedication, then extract the pain and pleasure
For good to get the better
