DEATH/SOUL

[Verse 1]

drivin away from the city, you forget where the root is

im on my own in the civic, 2 hours before new years

i change gears as the night canvas start to appear

hopin i can still steer, star gazin the sky is gettin clear

i take a right and hit a dirt road as i follow this alone

afraid of the unknown, signal gone, sos on the phone

im deeper in the dense woods, there's fear to the bone

the only thing keepin me on track was this rocky road

then suddenly i see man walking to the side on his own

black trackies, black hoody, bare feet, im already gone

my curiousity is gettin the best of me, so i pull over

his walkin closer and closer, my windows down then he leans over

i tell him is he in his right mind to be alone at night

he replies young man we're not so different, you and i

i ask if he needs a ride, i'm open to be your guide

no thank you i came here to lay to rest and die tonight

well shit, this conversation got grim alright

but i can tell theres pure bliss in his presence, he got nothin to hide

he's on his final ride before he lets go to this life

i ask if he could let me in his mind one final time, is that alright

well my journey started i was runnin marathons

i had nothin but demons on my back, i was playing calm

you see built a wall for myself and tied my palms

supression was my defence mechanism that triggered bombs

ive been on losing streaks, my chest was thumpin every weak

tired of feelin bleak so i chose to plant my seed

somethin in life i seeked that was more than feelin fatigue

i realised there was a site to see over this wall i peek

he asked me what i thought death would be like

i didn't reply coz the answer was already in his eyes

he says our misconception of death is making us blind

its the art of letting go, accepting change, embracing life

turnin the next page, movin forward from the past

starting a next act or hearing your soul chant

watch the inner child dance, as your flower blooms from a branch

the tree of life we're connected to on this blessed land

you asked if i was in my right mind to be alone at night

im filled with content to lay to rest and die tonight

you see im on a journey to become what was before time

before i had a name, my blood, my tribe, my side, my life, my pride

im trying to find, connection back to this cosmos, so divine

chills down my spine i gave this man the name that was mine

i wanted his, but he replied how happiness is defined

i had think about it im still stuck in the grind

i look at my phone, recognized its a new year

i went to cheer and realised the man wans't near

probably went off on his own or simply disappeared

suddenly im hit with fear, me and the mother, im alone over here

engine off, hop out civic, i embrace the silence

im own in the woods, finally i hear no cars, no sirens

take a deep breath and realise the darkness lightens

star gazing with the silhouettes of trees the size of titans

 

[Hook]

i just wanna get away

think ima fade away

things dont seem the same

how am i keepin sane

i just wanna get away

think ima fade away

things dont seem the same

how am i keepin sane

 

[Verse 2]

i wanna know how happiness is defined

is it building a name off pride, and gettin some shine

is it a dopamine hits or is it all in the mind

coz i know these paychecks aren't the answers im tring to find

i gotta know, ive been feelin like im on death row

chasing highs in this life im about to blow

trials and tribulations made my heart cold

then i opened my heart to life and those around me, then i found my flow

a city boy out from the zoo, into the wild, the sky glows

if death allows it i could die tonight, so im lettin go

i found bliss and harmony again, the time is slow

finally made it out this rat race, i dont wanna go

im letting go, but my life is calling back to me

im stuck with this duality, trapped between two realities

theres not enough analogies to translate my morality

in the dense woods of life i found the space to clense my calamities

vulnerability in the wild, took away my vanity

connecting back to the primal cleared my sanity

mindfulness is my mentality, i aint livin fantasies

this is how i define my happiness that transcends gravity

through death i learn about life, the life that found my soul

i could never climb this high if i didn't learn how to fall

life my had me weighed down but ill never fold

if i didn't pick myself apart i wouldn't know how to be whole

there's something that could never be sold

only one thing in your life that you are rightfully owed

something that only you know, then you'll learn how to cope

its all good, we're all in this rat race in life facing this long rocky road
