LYRICS

Verse 1

I am awake/livin’ in a zone/searchin’ for the part/where my heart sits in stone/

I am alone/searchin’ for a reason/to stop myself/from fightin’ what I believe in/

But there’s no reason/for underachivin’/giving back to life where my love truly reached in/

No I’m not weepin’/I’m puttin’ down my feet and/lookin’ to the sky as I move before I leap in/

The dreams that I sleep in/got me rethinkin’/writin’ out the parts/realignin’ the sequence/

Lookin’ at my defense/lookin’ for my defects/understand my faults as I build on my weakness/

Cut from the deepness/tryin’ to complete this/structure of my brain/now I know why I sleepless/

Scars from a reflex/startin’ at the pretext/tryin’ to learn/I plunge to the deepest/

Parts of my mind/drowning in its steepness/water in my eyes/goin’ blind as I sink in/

Heart steady beatin’/worry as I breath in/whether I’ll die/tryin’ to chase what I believe in/

But I’m not leavin’/my dreams are not deceivin’/I move my arms forward/swim to the peak then/

Look to the east and/trust what I see and/rush to the part where my heart truly begins.

Verse 2

Some want money/­and others want fame/I just wanna crave my name up in the game/

And show that I changed/and learned to walk away/I only move forward/it’s the only way/

I never had luck as I went my own way/I just had the will to persevere through the pain/

Learnin’ from the greats/watchin’ for the fakes/now I’m ‘bout to rise/hold me back but you can’t/

Cause I’m liftin’ all the weight/ignoring what’s at stake/alotta people underestimate but I can’t/

Lead with my fate/tunnel through the hate/now they wanna smile/shake my hand but they ain’t/

They came too late/I’m callin’ checkmate/you burnt that bridge/now you own that mistake/

I saw your ways/tryin’ to invade/infect my vision/man I’m not gettin’ played/

Cause I’m goin’ all the way/fightin’ what you say/steady believin’ even if it means to my grave/

Never will cave/my heart remains brave/amongst the thoughts/you’ve been tryin’ to engrave/

I will not be enslaved/I’ve come a long way/the trail that I leave in the end will amaze/

I’ll never be phased/confined to your ways/I close my eyes and let my heart guide the way.
