Praying for Clarity

Once upon a time I was feeling so alive
Thinking "I have a mind made of fire"
But I was nothing special
Just another anybody with dreams, goals
And a passion for it

Once upon a time 'was ambitious, I was wild
Thinking "I am a star and I'm shining"
But I was nothing more
Than just a piece of shit rapper with sampled chorus

I thought that I was good when I was bad
I thought that I was first when I was last
I thought that I was making my way through the darkness
But I was just sitting down on my ass - not doing shit

I feel like I am wasting away
There ain't nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail

I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity

Once upon a time I was wondering
About my purpose in this life, and I found it
But I was afraid to show it
A demon sleeps on my shoulder
And she must not know it

Once upon a time I was flying in the sky
Just admiring the light that was shining
But I flew too high, my wings were melting
That's when I figured I'm like Icarus

I didn't really care what people said
I didn't really know I needed help
I didn't really see the reality fading
Cause I was just sitting down on my ass - not doing shit

I feel like I am wasting away
There ain't nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail

I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity

Throw me in the fire, smoke my ashes when I'm gone
Or wish me luck and leave me, cause I cannot be more alone anyway
It's too late to fix me and my rotten, broken soul
Tell me not to worry cause I swear I won't

I feel like I am wasting away
There ain't nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail

I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity

I feel like I am wasting away
There ain't nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail

I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity
