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
