Chasing Vapour (feat. IQ)

So is this what happens when you're losing it all
The booze for the brawl, The bruise to the fall
Rip my skin straight down the centre and take it all off
Cause I'm not comfy at all
I'd rather be levitating instead of hesitating the fall
See you say I write messages with sentiment
Hidden deeper than the sediment of the ocean so what if I'm broken
You were spoken for but you made it a joke and bottled it up
Like a stick in the spokes you put it all to a halt
Was it the money, or was it the time
Was it you always wanted to give away something that is mine
I used to think I had a million miles of steam
I was chasing a dream
But the tank is empty now and I'm leaving the scene
I'm venting to the mic
And I tried to better my life
And so it seems I was chasing the vapour
It was never the paper alright?
It was all in mind
A pretty picture of the future with something in it for all of our lives and all of the time

You taught me everything I could never know
Show me the love that I could never show
Now I'm stuck on my own and I will watch you go
Into the arms of someone that I envy so
If i set my room on fire in the east coast
Will you see my burning soul from the West Coast
And everyone will know I'm here
And see my ghost

I guess I
I guess I was dreaming
Cause you are still here with me
Wish you were still here with me
I guess i ends the way we want it
Losing you is what has kept me haunted
Try to get right back to where we were
Reminissing as if we still 100
I know shit will never be the same
But I'ma try to keep you in my veins
My memories I keep em in my brain
We play them back and back again.

You taught me everything I could never know
Show me the love that I could never show
Now I'm stuck on my own and I will watch you go
Into the arms of someone that I envy so
If i set my room on fire in the east coast
Will you see my burning soul from the West Coast
And everyone will know I'm here
And see my ghost

As I get back on my feet
I'm looking back and I paint it black
And I close the doors and I lock the latch and I leave it in the past
And have a little laugh
Cause it was always irrelevant and I bin hell bent on destruction
I forgot I had a love for this
And I'm coming round, it's been a while
But I can feel the love and it's coming out
And I miss the feeling when my feet leave the ground
And it's kinda crazy when were so down and distressed
Bout to realize that theres so much more that comes next
We're truly blessed to be alive
And race inside and my heart is racing
And killing the syllables high just like I'm Jason
No more life left I'll be wasting
With my girl by my side I'll wiggity sliggity slide into the legends and minds
Building me up with destiny and design
It's like my homie he once told me to never give up or give way
Cause we all got a spark and we can burst into flames
If we try harder each month, bitch less bout all of our days
Then we can all make a path paved gold for all of our ways

You taught me everything I could never know
Show me the love that I could never show
Now I'm stuck on my own and I will watch you go
Into the arms of someone that I envy so
If i set my room on fire in the east coast
Will you see my burning soul from the West Coast
And everyone will know I'm here
And see my ghost
