Drifting Away

I lost myself inside my pain
The bruises on my knees reflect how in vain
Prayers and pleading fell on deaf ears
Til I shut my eyes and gave in to fear

And now I'm throwing caution to the wind
Never caring if I live or die or what's gonna be on the other side
Of my sanity
I'll destroy my mind faster than we can destroy me

And when I sit in the sun rolling up all my bad thoughts into a blunt
And the feelings that were crammed into my lungs have been dumped
I'll exhale that shit
No more worrying
Cuz I'm done with it and I'm drifting away

Drifting away

I'm drifting away

Searching for a sign out in the sky
A smoke signal, cloud or a pair of eyes
To tell me what I need to do
Who I need to be to set myself free

And through the air a message finds my ears
Telling me not to act on my deepest fears but act on what I love and who I trust wholeheartedly
Instead of dying in regret I'll be living dangerously

No more worrying about what other people think
No more worrying about drowning in my dreams
I'm learning how to fly again, way past the skies
Past the hold of earth until I'm drifting away

Drifting Away

I'm drifting away, yeah

Soaring on free wings
Clears up everything
It lets me see the paths from my mistakes

But those mistakes don't define me
It's how I recover that reminds me who I am
And how to live

Cloud drops from singing in the rain
Have covered up the tears that fell down my face
Sailing through a gentler breeze
I kiss goodbye all notions that hurt me

Removing the knife from my back
Was the hardest thing to achieve
The bad blood I had opted to keep
Imprisoned me in my misery

So I, and so I, begin to wade in the river
Trying to find some inner peace
All my aches and all my pain
All my love and all my hate is drifting away

Drifting Away
It's Drifting Away
I'm drifting away, I'm drifting away, yeah!
I'm drifting away, yeah
