Lost Tales

With the amount that I've been writing I'm almost all out of ink
I need to stack up cause the paths longer than I think
And Ithaca is far but I still won't let that sink
The galley cause I see the horizon so I can't blink
And there's a lot to do once I get to the island
Not just for myself but for Penelope in our hone
And everything is changing but for better it worse
I can't tell, but I've been told expect the worse
And I write this a few days before I graduate
And I should've starter sooner and not never or late
But could I have done more when I went to sleep hella late
Just to go to school at around half past eight
When I came home, I go straight to my desk
Turn the Mac on, play piano and you know the rest
I felt like every day I was put to the test
And I still feel the same and I know that's for the best

I've been on my odyssey
After sleepless nights I finally realize
That I wanna join the gods, be something bigger than myself
But that's only possible if I keep blocking the sirens
And I think about Penelope, I think about it all
And what happens if I fail, what happens if I fall
Fail to be the hero I've set myself to be
I tell you my lost tales in hopes that you can see

The picture and the story that I paint though every song
And This is what I've wanted to say for so long
Most of this I learnt, but the hardest thing to learn was
To not give in to hubris, and what I'll get I'll have to earn
I can't count the amount of times I could've gone out
When I chose to stay home, locked in my dome
Hoping that it works, that this would maybe do it
And tonight could be the night but I went out and so I blew it
And I spent too much time on ogygia
Wasting days on what wasn't even my goal
And even though I stayed so long, I always felt a hole
Where my heart was, the journey would make it whole
So the wind can send me back but
I'll return cause
The only people I'm with are the people that care
So whether it's a ship or a desk
Just know that I'll get there

To be honest, I really don't know where to start
But I dedicate this to the people in my heart
I say I do this alone but you all play a part
In the reason I do this, it's not for a chart
Went from singing to a computer by myself when I was six
To making this into a thing, I guess it always sticks

From the kid who had the biggest dream
To the person I am today with the same dream
And it's still by myself, still don't have a team
And now about a month shy of eighteen
And for so long I've heard this clock tick inside my head
And maybe I should but looking back I can't move on

From the lion King to the odyssey
From le petit prince to the odyssey
From samy, to Odysseus
And from a kid with dream, to a kid with a dream
Everything I've bottled for a few months is coming out
So I know I've been hard to reach but I hope you understand
That I've just been focused to become a better man
I promised my mom le stade de France and with that I stand
So I've just been sailing tirelessly, hoping I can
Do what I said I'd, I hope you understand

And It's been months but I can't lie I miss you
But I hope I make you proud with all of this
The last time we talked you told me samy keep going
I promised I would, and with that I stand

I hope you know I think about you every day
And not a second goes by where this isn't on my mind
And this isn't just for me
But also for the people who haven't been as lucky as me
But I need to make it work, and I promise that I will
Cause you always believed in the power of my will

And I don't like the fact that we need to grow but such is life
I just hope that I don't lose the flame I've had till now
Cause that's really what I'm terrified of
It feels like everything I've done has been leading to this
From the computer twelve years
To the piano seven years ago
To what I'm doing now

So I can't help but tear up when I think about it all
And it just feels like it's all coming to a close
And Yes there's a future and well see how that goes
But our childhood is ending and that really breaks my heart
Though the odyssey goes on this book comes to a close
And with the changes going I'm hoping that kid stays
Who managed to put a smile on everybody's face
But it's sad to see that it's all coming to and
But I'll keep my promises, and there's not a moment that I'll forget

Thank you

Samy
