Lyrics:
I woke up in the early hours,
Had something bothering me,
Couldn't let go to break free,
My mind wandered into the dark,
Didn't know how to shake this,
Wanted death's relieving kiss.
But I know I'll be alright,
Yeah I know I'll be alright.
I was just losing touch,
Thinking too much,
Still I smiled on,
I knew it wouldn't take long,
To come back.
(Leo Wild)
I feel like it's easier now,
It was so much harder back then,
Now I stand up tall cause I'm feeling proud,
Carving my path with the mark of a pen,
Some days you might see me frown,
But you'll never see me kneeling down
Reach for the skies and I'm seizing the clouds,
All I need is the bass when the speaker is loud,
I feel like I'm losing touch,
But I never lost my faith,
I've got that in lethal amounts,
No need for inspiration I'm bleeding it out,
Just penning my thoughts and speaking aloud,
Levitating till I soar but still see the ground,
Cause it ain't a game no more,
Nah, it's too real for me now,
So you gotta chase your dreams,
Till the day that you die so you can make your peace,
Instead of thinking what you could-a, would-a, should'a been,
You should be pushing yourself further than anyone believed,
Cause that's what it is, belief,
So go out there and achieve,
Go out there and make Ps,
Go out there and make 'em scream,
I'm just painting you a picture,
You could be choc or vanilla,
You could be straight, gay or transgender,
Or you could be a saint or a sinner,
You could lose and still be a winner,
So when you're looking in the mirror,
Just know that there's nobody realer,
There ain't nobody realer.
Looking back at my younger self,
Finding it hard to believe,
How I felt it's just not me,
All I wanted was a way out,
But I learnt how to be free,
Be who I wanted to be,
I was just losing touch,
Thinking too much,
Still I smiled on,
I knew it wouldn't take long,
To come back,
Was just losing touch,
Thinking too much,
Still I smiled on,
I knew it wouldn't take long,
To come back.
