New song I’ve been working on called sinking.
Still.Awake.Here - With the sec-ond.Hand.Ticki
As.I.Lay.Here- Yo.My.Brain starts to thinking
I.Cant.Stay.Here - Cause I'm not really li-ving
I'm.Not.Safe.Here - Cause.it.feels.like.I'm sink-ing
While the pain sets in, tell.me.where.do.I be-gin
Cause my soul cries outlike.the.stringsof.vi-o-lins,
It's like the suff-er-ing - has-been-built-in
It re-sides from with-in, since-way-back-when
So.I.make.another.joke, As.I.take.another toke-
Cause these dreams are about vanish all up in a cloud of smoke -
I know there's different strokes, for all these different kinda folks
But.it's.just the way.I.cope, when cert-ain feel-ings are e-voked-
And it's my favorite way, to diss-a-ppear behind the curtain
This heart was made for pain, of this I'm ab-so-lutely certain
For.sure.an em-path, it's be-come a heavy burden
Ig-no-rance is bliss but I'm no absent.minded.person.
I learned that long ago, to this pain I am be-spoken-
Looking deep into my soul re-veals all that is be-token--
Don’t.Care.hoooow.low.Im floating. or how ba-dly I am broken-
I stea...dy cling to hope, that my soul will al-ways open
Still.Awake.Here - With the sec-ond.Hand.Tickin
As.I.Lay.Here- Yo.My.Brain starts to thinking
I.Cant.Stay.Here - Cause I't’s looking like a prison
I'm.Not.Safe.Here - Cause.it.feels.like.I'm sink-ing
Some.day its hard to flow, with the lows and the highs
Sometimes it feels best, when I just don’t try
And some-times I cry but I don’t know why,
Like I’m floating through the ether, just a-long for the ride
So I- dry-my eyes - grit my teeth
Find the edge of bed then floor with my feet
Then I walk outside and listen out for the beat-
Sear-ching.for.the mel-o-dy play-ing on re-peat
A beautiful tune like waves crash-ing on the beach-
And once it hits my ears yo it sounds-so-sweet
So I take me a seat and feel the breeze on my skin
And I think about things that I do struggle with
Try to come to terms with the things I can't fix
Take a deep breath and I hold it all it in-
Grabbing on to good-vibes try to weave em-all-in
Exhale hoping.I.can.find.the.peace with-in
Still.Awake.Here - With the sec-ond.Hand.Tickin
As.I.Lay.Here- Yo.My.Brain starts to thinking
I.Can't.Stay.Here - Cause I think the thoughts are winning
I'm.Not.Safe.Here - Cause.it.feels.like.I'm sink-ing
As I march into battle. the thoughts and feelings are scattered
Yo, I try to move forward but the paces are staggered-
I'm feeling broken and battered, like the glass has been shattered-
And as the pieces are gathered, I wonder if it all matters -
Ana-lyzing the factors- as I make my a-pproach
Never giving up hope, just tryna keep it a float
So I'm grabbing the loop as I hang on to the rope-
And I hope it doesn't slip around my head to my throat -
So with the words that I wrote - and with the words I will write -
I ho-ping they might- just light a beacon so bright-
And hope they start spark-ing flames that are flick-er-ing white-
So it can be you guide through-out the dark-est of nights-
One of the re-asons I write - I don't.need.to.know names-
Cause I can see all your faces and I rec-og-nze pain--
I'll help you carry theses chains, through the fire & flames-
Just so.ya.know you're not alone when you're going insane
Still.Awake.Here - With the sec-ond.Hand.Tickin
As.I.Lay.Here- Yo.My.Brain starts to thinking
I.Cant.Stay.Here - Cause I'm not really li-ving
I'm.Not.Safe.Here - Cause.it.feels.like.I'm sink-ing
Still.Awake.Here - With the sec-ond.Hand.Tickin
As.I.Lay.Here- Yo.My.Brain starts to thinking
I.Cant.Stay.Here - Cause I't’s looking like a prison
I'm.Not.Safe.Here - Cause.it.feels.like.I'm sink-ing
Still.Awake.Here - With the sec-ond.Hand.Tickin
As.I.Lay.Here- Yo.My.Brain starts to thinking
I.Can't.Stay.Here - Cause I think the thoughts are winning
I'm.Not.Safe.Here - Cause.it.feels.like.I'm sink-ing
