[Verse 1]
A lot of people hear not many listen
If you gotta see with your ears then follow my vision
So much on my chest, it's getting harder to breathe
The same demons been inside me, not sure I want them to leave
When the doubt starts infecting, I follow my heart
Build walls around me to protect me, then I tear them apart
Come to grips with reality, morality's gone
The mentality to keep up has my vitality strong
Another level of faith, it was odd
Until I learned you have to believe in yourself before you believe in a god
Seems like anger is deeply embedded
Seemingly lost my mind, not sure where I am currently headed
Looking for truth as I'm finding my path
Asked about my future but the answers still lie in my past
Trying to grow as a person, I'm hurting my chance
May not get you to see what I see, but I can give you a glance
[Hook]2x
Lost in the fog of life
The cost has an infinite price
But you can't afford not to buy
Peace of mind doesn't come cheap and it's free when we die
[Verse 2]
I try to take the road less traveled
A bumpy ride, the road to peace is often left ungraveled
I can paddle up a sh** creek with only my pride
This is exactly how I'm feeling inside
Do it with conviction
Conveys the depiction of I how I handle my addiction
Don't ignore the contradiction, its there for a reason
The affliction shines a light on all of my demons
A flood of emotions breaks the levee I built
The pain of pleasure I feel - quickly covered with guilt
These scars remind me of the things I've defeated
Came out the other side a better person yet sad and depleted
You have to give to get and most people don't
If faith is the vessel - I'm on a sinking boat
Getting the most out of this life as I can
But just cause you go all in, doesn't mean you have the high hand
[Hook]2x
