Trying To Fly (feat. Eric Mayson)

And I don't even know why
I can't hold on to a word that you say
You escaped from your cage just to dance and play
Across a random face like fly away little horsefly
Before they find you on the front page

We familiar with the frustration
To say we stay sedated, it's an understatement
Look alive, life is a celebration
We would like to use your current location
Lost faith after the first rotation
And gave it back to the dirt like it wasn't worth savin'

And oh, Lord, if I wasn't so bored
I'd already poured this bottle on the floor
Yeah, right, we ain't spilling a drop
About to get so high that we feel like gods
And I don't even know why

Time ain't cheap, but I know why
'Cause what I need, I can't buy
You're tryin' to sleep, I'm tryin' to fly
But life goes on, and so do I (so do I)
I'm tryin' to fly

And I don't even know why
I still feel like a rat in a maze
Even though I know nowadays
I should probably have found a method to count my ways
I'm tryna leave the runway confident
I need to go surround myself with sun rays

Life's too short to keep shovelin' flakes
I walk into the water 'til I'm covered in waves
From the first breath till the next laugh
Better have a plan to catch a best half
Never let the lakes break beneath the heavy weight
Gotta spray a little paint on this designated negative space

And I don't even know why
But I'm committed to leavin' you with a valid and vivid impression
We could separate the pain from the message
But state of mind still in a state of corrections
And I don't even know why

Time ain't cheap, but I know why
'Cause what I need, I can't buy
You tryin' to sleep, I'm tryin' to fly
But life goes on, and so do I
