Harness strength or throw myself in blind
Leap of faith, land hard, jump twice
You could say that’s the courage of mine
I’d just say a habit of time I might be wasting
Every step forward, fall back pacing
Are what we do, not what we’re saying
With each truth spoken, I’ve been lacing
Words with confidence I’ve been faking
Just the kid inside terrified I might run the clock
I won’t pay the cost, I want what he’s not
the longing won’t stop
and he knows he’s being dramatic as fuck

Been adding tones to my palette
Thanks to those with a talent
For keeping me in check
Show myself some respect

Hear a tremor to my tone when I speak
So no reason to seek change in scenery
Or my livery, I keep it casual
Speed gradual, I’ll walk it
I can talk my shit but not sure if I live it
Keep flipping from bemused to livid
At the kid staring back in the mirror
But slowly visions coming clearer

Been adding tones to my palette
Thanks to those with a talent
For keeping me in check
Show myself some respect

Your creation in the eye beholden
But your eye stolen by a rolling shutter
I shudder to think what I might when older
Just how little I might leave
What little more do I need?
Live peaked curiosity
Be happy with the air I breathe,
company I keep
& infinite mystique
Course I could chase some digits
Race at red line limits
Stick something in my system
so I keep breathing
Like all I’ve met
We’ll drop any minute
Whole practice is broken, its telling
No telling what we might do
without a change of heading
So why do I do this? I keep forgetting
We keep repeating

Been adding tones to my palette
Thanks to those with a talent
For keeping me in check
Show myself some respect
