LYRICS

VERSE 1

My visions gettin’ clearer now/My mind is startin’ to let it go/The pain I suffered/Just faded an hour ago

I’m startin’ to learn/That a dream ain’t easy to hold/But I suppose it’s a part of the line I chose

Then again what is pain to the ones who feel it/Believe in doubt or embrace the spiritual healin’

I know it’s different when you startin’ to look the ceilin’/In search of death/But you findin’ more reasons for livin’

So I stand up and let my feet touch the floor/Let the earth run it’s course seepin’ in my pours

I learned a lot sittin’ back and addin’ up the score/Now I know what I’m worth and I want more

No more gettin’ pushed like I did before/Life is short so I know one thing for sure

To the ones who ain’t never wanna accept you/Stand strong as you wisely say f**k you

I’m comin’ hard for the spot that you clutch to/Each step that you take is your last move

I can see it in your face that you know it too/This game that you played had to end soon

So soon you can feel the world crumble too/A part of life breaks off exists through your wound

A deep breath is the last thing you could do/Lights out/Fade to black/Let the new rule

CHORUS

And I just sit here and watch it die

Watch the world/watch it down slowly

What will I do to survive/How will I/Still arrive to be

VERSE 2

I don’t even know what I wanna be anymore/I just know for sure that I want my team to get it more

Get it more in name/Get it more in gain/Get it all the ways/That is consistently/Arguable/Driving you insane

I don’t want my peers to look at me the same/I’m headin’ to a place/that you cannot explain/And don’t worry

Cause I ain’t comin’ back again/I turn my back/And let the night guide my way

Damn/I know you think I got a mean spirit/Nah/I got a dream and I’m stickin’ wit it

And no dream is efficient/without a vision/And I don’t plain stopin’ until it’s finished

I had to swim in my soul to get redemption/Now I’m headin’ for my goal/No more wishin’

And I ain’t trippin’ on you fools who never listened/Gotta move as you learn from dumb decisions

I hope and pray that the one that matters is still with us/Cause this is only the beginnin’ of another livin’

I shed the skin/left a sin/for another minute/Now the game begins/and I’m about to win it

I gotta take it where another great didn’t get it/Pick the scraps/re-wrap/and add a new finish

I believed in the things that he represented/But as he fades/I’m the one who writes a new page

CHORUS (Repeated 2x)
