My pain has no patience,
I been stagnant,
I find myself having less faith in my statements
It's getting blatant,
I'm questioning my escaping
Dates with destiny I’m still procrastinating
Step back step back
Another set of setbacks,
A lot of blood on my back,
How did love cause that, ‘
My graduation is celebrated by unemployment
Student debt, less enjoyment,
Alcoholic steps that I make just to avoid em,
My summer has been halved now,
See this green I have now?
These footsteps these footsteps,
All on my path now,
A paved road, a safe stroll,
My pace slow, my faith knows,
I’m exchanging my belief just for these pesos
Been on this some time now,
I’ve been
Thinking about this how to clear my mind now,
All these demons around me,
They be killing my shine now,
Nobody to remind me,
That I gotta stay calm now,
Man I'm losing so much sleep,
Just to make sure my dreams are gonna meet,
I'm trying to be free,
Keep my head high but shit is weighing down on me,
Man I'm losing so much sleep,
Just to make sure nobody is sleeping on me,
Man I'm trying to be free,
My reflection in the mirror tell me do you even see,
These September nights are getting short,
Lately it’s all been a chore
Is this what I’m asking for,
Waking up pay attention to bill go to work the stress build,
My reality I’m never fulfilled,
Not a life a dreamer can afford,
Splurge in a crisis, I just
Merge with my vices, fightless
How did it became like this,
a hyper kid turned lifeless,
A plan B is did damage,
My paint grey on my canvas,
Don’t understand why I stand this,
Been on this some time now,
I’ve been
Thinking about this how to clear my mind now,
All these demons around me,
They be killing my shine now,
Nobody to remind me,
That I gotta stay calm now,
Man I'm gonna runaway
There are way too many footsteps for me to find a way,
Man I'm gonna runaway
There are way too many footsteps for me to fucking stay,
Man I'm gonna runaway
There are way too many footsteps for me to find a way,
I can't stay, runaway, this is not for another day,
In the name of being safe,
I been feeling like I'n caged
At the point of no return,
Is where my fire burns,
Man I learned,
It’s not a move waiting for a turn,
All these wasted green concerns,
But the fire just been missing,
You can’t be a free spirit if you filled with inhibitions,
Gotta go and i won’t listen, gotta improve my own condition,
Do it different,
Cause these habits been having me just pissing,
My ignition, my potential, gotta find the path I’m meant for,
Run away from every road, and just live the life I dreamt of,
