Off to a false start, already feel the trust shift
Scavenging the couch cushions just to make the bus trip
Running late to work, challenged so we uplift
Expect the unexpected like we're ready for the drum flip
"Awake again, I guess, back staring at the ceiling"
Anything, except this, is always more appealing
Trapped in a vortex, I try to shake the feeling
The music in my headphones begin to start the healing
These floorboards are freezing, feeling like I'm grieving
Fact of the matter is there's really no reason
Maybe it's the season. I'm just waiting on the sun rays
Grinding day to day toward an early fuckin grave.
But I know that's not the way, I'm carving out a better path
Half of me is miserable, the other half can only laugh
A matter fact, I'm climbing back towards a better light
My family, my music, my beats and the mic.
I hope nobody takes this in the wrong way
But sometimes my energy is blasé
It feels like I really don't belong, hey
Just getting to tomorrow is a strong play
Every box on the calendar's a long day
We got to see the next one, all flames
As long as I believe in what the song say
I know we're gonna make it, got a long way
Okay okay, just need to make it another hour
We don't chase dragons, and refusing to be devoured
Whatever's within my power to change, I'll change it for the better
Whatever we can't change, we can endure together
Sun shines some times even in winter
Even when it gets cold up under your skin like splinters
Remember the reason you started, don't need a key to break locks
Already got the door open when opportunity knocks
Crowded in this rat race flooding through the mazes
Tearing down the fourth wall, we're breaking out the cages
Navigate the path with my words up on the pages
'Cause we're never heading back to where they put us through our paces
Laid the foundation, NOFRIENDS built the enclave
Our legacy continues after life from beyond graves
Flames in the inferno change my legal name to Dante
I know we're gonna make it, got a long way
I hope nobody takes this in the wrong way
But sometimes my energy is blasé
It feels like I really don't belong, hey
Just getting to tomorrow is a strong play
Every box on the calendar's a long day
We got to see the next one, all flames
As long as I believe in what the song say
I know we're gonna make it, got a long way
