A Drift

(album: Blissful Awareness - 2020)

We are, we are
Reaching for the stars though they might be outta reach
Oh they seem so far
Floating on a cloud, I ain't ever coming down
No, it's been too long
Living on a prayer, still tryna make it there but it's been so hard
And when the dust settles all you're left with is wounds and these scars
Until the blood dries and the pain leaves you feeling wide open
So hopeless

I know exactly what I want, I can articulate my needs
I can show you much better then I can tell you, true indeed
And I'm speaking from experience, this is for you from me
Chew my words like food for thought, let them digest as I speak
If I give you all I got then what shall I gain in return?
Except for pain acquired and another lesson learned
My aspirations is to fly, your aspirations is to burn
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, we must all wait our turn for sure

We are, we are
Reaching for the stars though they might be outta reach
Oh they seem so far
Floating on a cloud, I ain't ever coming down
No, it's been too long
Living on a prayer, still tryna make it there but it's been so hard
And when the dust settles all you're left with is wounds and these scars
Until the blood dries and the pain leaves you feeling wide open
So hopeless

We been tryna get by
Tryna find a little bit of peace of mind before the day I die
They saying that it's lonely when you reach the top, I wanna make that climb
They got us fighting at the bottom for spots but that's by design
Everything in due time
