Phases

Living on my own and I think I'm grown up
But everyone around me love to say I'm so young
I just hope to God when it's all said and done
I can look back and just say I had some fun
But I also know that I gotta be realistic
Sirens start humming and they're trying to drift my ships in
Just a young bull like Dennis Rodman on the Pistons
Clay turned Ali when he knocked out Sonny Liston
At the starting line getting told about the finish
Most things you find are all about persistence
Life is carefree until you hit resistance
How nice can it be if you live it in an instant?
Stuck in the moment, you're never getting lifted
Enjoy your time, never think about existing
Twenty years down the line and you're in the same position
They're gonna look back and just say that you were gifted
Fear of failure and fear of mediocrity
The best of me is getting lost curiosity
Why does it seem to be drawn to debauchery
One thing wrong doesn't make it all an atrocity
Fear of failure and fear of mediocrity
The best of me is getting lost curiosity
Why does it seem to be drawn to debauchery
Nothing wrong doesn't make it all an atrocity

Past just the past and I was hoping it would last
Passed in a flash cause I'm always going fast
That shit is that and it's all about the facts
Got too attached and forgot about the task
Past just the past and I was hoping it would last
Passed in a flash cause I'm always going fast
That shit is that and it's all about the facts
Got too attached and forgot about the task

(Yeah)
Twenty years down the line and I hope to have a kid
Hope I live a life where I'm still living it wit him
Hope I can look back and say I'm proud of what I did (phases)
Not going off the road, but had one too many skids
Think I'm gonna need another loan for my mortgage
Poor kids they haven't even seen a fucking orange
Cause we only pick what we can really forage
How am I supposed to afford lunch for these fucking four kids?
The court splits are worse than fucking the divorce is
Think I'll go bankrupt before I ever forfeit
Need four minutes so I can help my kids with their courses
No direction, I don't even know where North is

Past just the past and I was hoping it would last
Passed in a flash cause I'm always going fast
That shit is that and it's all about the facts
Got too attached and forgot about the task
Past just the past and I was hoping it would last
Passed in a flash cause I'm always going fast
That shit is that and it's all about the facts
Got too attached and forgot about the task

Old and decrepit, I slept on shore
I don't know if I can ask for more
I don't know if I can kick the door
Again and again, what's it for?

Past just the past and I was hoping it would last
Passed in a flash cause I'm always going fast
That shit is that and it's all about the facts
Got too attached and forgot about the task
Past just the past and I was hoping it would last
Passed in a flash cause I'm always going fast
That shit is that and it's all about the facts
Got too attached and forgot about the task

It's too late so what's the use?
Cause you can never go back and start again
I wanted to, but I couldn't
Phases, phases, phases
(I want you)
Floating and coasting
Hoping they notice (Right now)
I'm losing focus, but I keep going
Smoke this, you're floating
Open and closing
Spoken to ghosting
Don't know what's going
