(VERSE 1)

Washed my absence, Paid my own time off leave

Been building upon the slight disbelief

Wanderin promises so symmetrically interweave

The Remains already formed, The Notions all preconceived

Caught up in the cycle, Out of control, Whats been vital to know?

Often quite unrelated titles been placed on a pedestal to stand trial

Non-compliant, complicit of my disciples

Reintroducing prominence renewed revival

While wandering thru these ever-moving cycles

Repeatedly rotate regardless how i choose to relate

So testing modesty, but honestly, im constantly

Feeling nowhere Near them commonly held misconceptions

Readjusting prophesy, Spiraling out and back, Whats reciprocity?

Effortless execution pinning me as a prodigy

While the consequences of my actions really

A reflection of my character merely

Missing my mistakes amid sacrifices nearly made the mark

Of hope hopping high ova horror or heartbreak

(BRIDGE)

Simple mistakes we all make

Difficult turns we all take

Vantage pointing over looking passing the frames

Complicated commitments sort of situations

Quality evident in connected hesitation

Wasted conversation on mere acquaintance

Frustration from misinformed expectations

Anticipation of situations already played out

Effectively killing the chaotic cycles dead

Left memorializing these thankless truths that led

(VERSE 2)

So Cheers to this run we on, just me you, them, not a lot of us huh?

No need, burdens bearin’ down

Hard to climb to the top when you stay stuck there on the ground

So surrounded by appreciative peers whom

I’ve gained wisdom from for years

Thus the reason why I call a few, fewer each day they grew

Each new year I can’t resolve to start anew

Been grinding slowly building a better view

Due to the state of mind bein in

The memories they blend and often blurred

Stuck pondering prolonged moments overheard the narration of one's life

So pardon my impromptu validation seeking verification by

Littering this creation to assure my agency within this station

Whole world unraveling holding on by a fray

While the sunset on the horizon starting to fade

Feeling fleeting moments of peaceful bliss

Gotta be present or you may miss

Recalling experience the essence of remembrance

(OUTRO)

Passive times out of a dream sequence

Images of chiseled stone refined

Discovering what's meant to align

Nuggets of wisdom uncovered in time

Scrambling so i dont waste too much of mine

Before its all ova now
