[Intro]

Gone away, gone away

Gone away, gone away

[Verse]

The present is a gift, and for that, I’m blessed

When I’ve finally done enough, I can let myself rest

Fuck that, I can sleep when I'm dead

If you wanna stop Deez, better aim for the head

Rely on intuition, make impulsive decisions

Think that, my aspirations, far exceed my ambition

Time is a prison, when your anxious but driven

I know, long as I let it, it’ll keep me imprisoned

This type of stress is gonna lead to your death

Man, eventually there’s gonna come a time to confess

Chronically rushing to nowhere, where am I going?

If I don’t stop soon, the wrinkles will start showing

Hurry sick-ness, got me feeling time guilt

Be my witness, walking through the minefield

I know that change has gotta start with me

Start living in the present till it’s hard to leave

[Chorus]

Gone away, gone away

Gonna waste, all the days

Dwelling on the past

Gone away, gone away

Gonna waste, all the days

Straying from my path

[Verse]

A constant search for empty pockets of time

Know I got a problem, can’t stop it, trust me, I’ve tried

Maybe it’s greed or fear of falling behind

If I could harness every second, everything would be fine

Counterproductive, need to shift my approach

I wonder, can any doctor fix my temporal lobe?

Endlessly saving my minutes, It’s an obsession

Asking father time if he can spare me a second

Either I'm stuck in the past or I move too fast

I was hoping, as I’d age, I could break that cast

Look at me, entitled to each second

C’est la vie, straight deprived of the present

I’m out with friends, still I long for my home

Desperate for some comfort only found on my own

The time is now, and it’s mine for the taking

Yeah, it won’t be instant, it's for sure in the making

[Chorus]

Gone away, gone away

Gonna waste, all the days

Dwelling on the past

Gone away, gone away

Gonna waste, all the days

Straying from my path
