Forward finally, are you feeling my focus, this is no joke; it’s more like I awoke this, monster I’ve conjured from deep inside my vessel, stress will kill, that’s only if you let it *fill*, Let it appeal to the inner workings of your heart, focus on the art; leave the bad parts at the start, act smart; don’t need to let that in, Work hard, you’ll get all that you’ve been wanting, live part, and be one with your soul, life guard, protect all that you own, life’s hard, that’s why you should find your zone, my part is to live and set the tone, your part is to make sure I stay in check, that’s cos you’re my friend, that’s if I’m correct, live smart, it’s time to set the trend, and I’m willing to bet that you’ll be there at the end. [chorus] Clap, clap, clapping closing in around me, I’m bound by my motives though the surroundings totally astound me, wound me up like an old wrist watch, then watch me go round for hours till I get ticked off, sick of doing exactly what you told me to, speak of the devil, there you are I found the truth, release me from these shackles at once and step away, I don’t have time to play & I’d like to go & hide away, No say have you, we’re through, don’t do you! I
do me just fine, so get out & thank you, Oh no, I don’t see the light in that story, I’m feeling kinda lost & the skies are looking stormy, warm me by the fire deep within your eyes, I’m so sick of all the lies, now just tryna find reprise, stay wise to the advice & trade your vice for nice and live. [chorus] Seems to me it’s getting louder every single hour, there’s nothing I can do so I just stand here prouder, I found the muse I came to use & let loose, now time to light the fuse from New York to Toulouse, who’s a looser in a race full of winners? no time for the beginners, raise the inners from the spinners, In the outer shell of the wizard’s magic spell, He captured half her hell within an image that made him un-well, but it was ok, he had seen brighter days, must escape this maze before the drama stay’s, haze laced trays of issues, and all he saw was miss-use, but all he felt was “miss you’s”, replay over in his brain all day, had to continue to aim and turn the grey, no time to blame and fade away, Only positivity as far as the eye can see.
