Among the Clouds

Floating ‘til I fall back to the Earth below me
Approaching, coasting over SFB off no sleep
A cold breeze, you how I love sitting alone in a coach seat
Left my home behind to take a flight over the ocean, staring at the waves
Performing in Florida, sharing all my pain
Hoping that I blow up, meeting folks that show love
Or I’ll sing for no one, standing in the rain
I’ll never be the same
But I needed a change
Someday

And I admit that I was young when I said I want it all
Naïve, having fun, ignorant to what it costs
Made my days important, wandering the forest
Scenery was gorgeous, colors of the fall
Made it to 21, happy I’m alive at all
Debuted my first album, best ten of my songs
Then that year, came COVID, kept us in our homes and
The evil of my soul in the same four walls
I had anxiety, my friends lied to me, this girl lied with me
Tried to see the brighter side of things, my shadow guiding me
My ex tried to make a side of me, she kept denying me
In my head, I’m like these kinds of things just don’t feel right to me
The times she’d leave with no goodbye it seemed was just in spite of me
Fighting 'cause the reason why she’d leave was way more frightening
She tightened up her grip, I’m sliding free, she killed that side of me
I’m gone now

Now I’m staring out the window of this plane,
Praising all the beauty in this strange world,
Reflecting on the choice I had to make
To love you or to live another day, girl
If fate makes this the last song I create,
Then with my final words, what do I say, world?

(I have to make it important, I have to sum up everything I'm about)

I’ve had my heart broken
My memory stolen
Absorbed shit that’s way more potent than potion
I get distracted by the moments and stuck on a notion
I bottle up and then explode from emotions I hold in
Woke up one morning wrapped in sheets, my sweat beads were frozen
Rolled out of bed slow, groaning, I need to be smoking
Mid-roll, froze, thought about it like, “Why am I smoking?”
Looked in the mirror, devoted to regaining that focus
Seeing clearer, getting older, I’d say that I’m growing
I have no fear inside my soul, I’ma make it, I know it
And I never feel alone, ‘cause I know where my home is
I’m working so hard, just know it’s all for you
And know it is your name that is engraved in all I do
We may not be the same, but you relate because we’re human
I know that we can do this
Make this world better for the future ‘til we lose it
And be yourself cause no one else knows what the truth is

And remember,
Life goes on
