Slantize - The SaGa Within lyrics

[Verse 1] For some, it takes loss to realize what someone's true worth is But not you, Sarah, you did not deserve the circus Take it from me and I mean you could say it makes the person But at what expense, Lord? She did not f**ing deserve this And all the while, here on Earth, I'm trying to find my purpose I'm nervous, toss and turning just yearning for rea**urance Alone in my battle, between the lines of my verses Searching beneath the surface, ask myself, "Yo, is it worthless For me to rap when all I want's to know that her pain's gone?" A lost soul, was it for me to try and make strong? Choices I made wrong might've otherwise Paved some more life for her to take on Months went by and I keep fighting to find sleep Frightened by the present, though I know that you're at peace 'Cause it's leaving me in pieces I'm feeling like an animal lost amongst the beaches And, so it goes [Hook] And though the years go by Each day you're on my mind Which means you're by my side Through thick and thin In this world that I'm living in You're the SaGa within And though the years go by Each day you're on my mind [Verse 2] The aura of your presence was a gift and I wish I had the chance to get to know you better I can only hope to get another chance some day If I'm in a greater place I'll take a glance one way and see you make a crazy face And maybe things will make sense again 'Til then you remain alive in memories, sure but there's so few And it's old news that you should still be here Your smile brightened whole rooms and now I can't see clear Seems weird how no string of words sums it up No matter how much I'm missin' you, straight wisdom I envision you in your unfulfilled life expedition Never goes away, you were my protege Decided as I read the raps you wrote and showed to me Took note of your emotion, once mine Like Captain Ahab, I try to say that There's more depth to the ocean than to selfishly wrestle Just forget about that whale and let the music be your vessel Let's go [Hook] And though the years go by Each day you're on my mind Which means you're by my side Through thick and thin In this world that I'm living in You're the saga within And though the years go by Each day you're on my mind [Verse 3] Knocks on the wooden door of my bedroom Wake me from my slumber Ask who it is, as I remove myself from the covers Hear my friend talk, she's got a phone call from my mother And she just walked like seven blocks so I started to wonder When my mom asked if I knew you, I began to shudder Turned back to face my friend and, in the silence, our eyes met I knew what was next Still, when she said it My heart dropped then jumped back up to my chest Rendered me speechless As I regressed and turned metaphysically numb I still struggle with the thought That there was more I could've done But sometimes when we're the neediest It's like screaming in space No one can hear us, and even if they could they can't relate Old friends might fear us As if there's not enough sh** on our plate See, you were like a spitting image of me I envied how you masked the pain and made it look so lovely Well, here I am opening my soul knowing full well You're sailing in the ocean's reflection above me (Above me, above me, above me, above me) [Hook] And though the years go by Each day you're on my mind Which means you're by my side Through thick and thin In this world that I'm living in You're the saga within And though the years go by Each day you're on my mind (mind, mind, mind, mind)
