[Verse 1]

I've learned to value the quiet like I was never alone

I fall asleep to a choir of cars and winds missing home

Safer I might be in the Morpheus hold

But now a better relief is in every moment of thought

And I never spoken a word, nor written enough

So all my dreams are to fault when I feel reality's bluff

I try to stay in my own like there was none I made up

Call me insane, won't say I'm not

Whacha surprised about? See

No other way it could be

I'm being me, I'm into scheme to self-compete

I wanna make yesterday envy, I keep becoming a better man

Heading where the heart leads

I be the beat now, believe I'm living it right

On the needle, I need another revive

How can I quit fighting that I'm alive in?

Strikes me like a lightning


[Chorus]

With my back to the wall

I'll be begging the fall again

Come lift me up the hill like you ain't done before

I'll be giving it all

Like this room is too small for me

I see the truth come clearer

Every time I let it blur


[Verse 2]

I can't see straight when I'm on that stage

Faces fade but I feel their faith

So I'm safe and if you're hurt I pray to heal

You wanna shake off the dirt – I wanna be your trampoline

I'm all in like I’m never gonna sing again

I'm open with the colors that I really am

I hope that we mix well

Make the six strings ring, put it into a million

People, do you recall

I'm the boy you used to listen to in dim dorms

Couple years ago I would say my name with cheeks rose

Now I'm coming into play with my stripped down songs

Now eyes closed and the way it feels

Is a first date kiss, the anoesis

Need a flash to take a breath and I'll be back

To intersect the parallels

Huh


[Chorus]

With my back to the wall

I'll be begging the fall again

Come lift me up the hill like you ain't done before

I'll be giving it all

Like this room is too small for me

I see the truth come clearer

Every time I let it blur

Every time I let it blur


[Verse 3]

My phone alarm went off today

When you were out for lunch

Lightheaded, like I let in

A couple of tumbler rocks of icy blended

Should've been earlier that I bedded

But forget it, I'm a gone addict

When I write, I'll be trying to find a manner

To put emotions plain behind bars and letters

So when I set it free, be sure it's me

But honestly, sometimes it seems I'm never

Gonna be heard and all I do is a mess

Who needs another songwriter with a strap on his chest?

Said, some of my friends know none of my tracks

My family says I better follow the path

Of education and get a day job

But what if nobody is born to fool their nature?

I found mine playing late shows, helping people isolate

So elevate your hands, my major inspiration

For all the walls ahead

I promise I gonna be breaking

And making the melodies happen until I am dead

Matter of fact, don’t let 'em ever affect your might

What can be imagined can be brought to life

And with every line I mean it, I'm still lime here

But I got you with me tonight and there's much in it

Long way to go and nobody know what it holds

But I've found a bit more with the focus I've lost
