lyrics

As I stared through the cloud and the mist
All I heard were the lies people hissed
At their friends and their enemies
But all this soon was to fade into memory
‘Cause I’m turning a new page
Starting a fresh I’m gonna enter a new phase
All of you are gonna see me soon
I’m flying so high I’m gonna fly to the moon
For the stars is where I’m heading
No stressing
I’m destined for more than this
I’m just finding my feet with this
10 years was a long time
It almost felt like a lifetime
Of being lost and alone
Left in the cold
No inspiration to hone
All my thoughts left to roam
In a whirlwind of hate and despair
But none of it could ever compare
To this feeling I get it’s a full on affair with the music
And you know any day that I’d choose it
For my mind I’m scared I would loose it
Through the fear and the constant distress
But the more I say the more I know I digress

The more I know I digress
But the more I say the more I know I digress (x2)

The last few months it’s like I’ve been wasting
Still chasing the dream
But the less I seemed to be hastened
The more I became complacent
Still stationed
As the man in my head that could never fly
Like a plan backfired
By a score of choices
A chorus of voices
And I’ve always made the wrong ones
Yes I’ve always played myself down
Always run myself through the ground
No more will I play the man uninspired,
No more will I burn at the top of this fire
Now the pain in my chest has expired
Through will to survive I’ve acquired
But the more I reach for success
The more I know I digress

The more I know I digress
But the more I say the more I know I digress (x4)
