Haunted streets, not of ghosts but dreams
Feel my heart not so steady as it beats
It's the bass I need to keep me alive
Can't put it into the music I write
So in these words, in each verse
I'll lace it with the rhythm within
Let it out, exhale from the skin
Used to be so much, face of snow and bounce in step
Now I'm hollow, burning with regret
Should have taken hold of my dreams
Lost myself to that instant release
Through the nose to the blood stream
Through the throat into my being
Not the answers I seek any longer
Sitting encased in mistakes left to ponder
So what could it possibly be
Yearning and searching never to be found
You write your own answers and questions profound
So hard to be this age with such a vast world to face
Sometimes I just want to run from this place
But here I would leave my heart, heavy and burdened
Thought I knew it all but realized I'm still learnin
Vines of my past wrap me up, overpowering
Try and unravel but they grow and they tower me
Break me free, call to me, show me what to do
But I realize when I look in the mirror, it's me I'm talking to
When the birds rage in the sky, you can follow them through life
But they can never show you how to live, you may never find true happiness
Your path isn't set in stone, you can follow any road
All the options and choices, names faces and voices
One big blur of togetherness, I can't break free
So much information, don't know what to believe
So I breathe and chill, moments of clarity
No where close to being easy being me
Then I find my compassion cause there's been worse and better
Break free of the storm to realize I'm part of the weather
It's the snowball effect and I can't stop it
Just live my life in pursuit of truth and bliss, not profit
Use my words to paint pictures of the life I've lived
Learn to stay strong, but accept and forgive
