[INTRO] Out here; wanting to belong somewhere Sometimes you just wish you were good enough You know what I mean? [VERSE 01] I would rather be alone in this hole you call home Could tie an end to my rope, for me to hang on my own Awful suicidal thoughts I shouldn't ever condone But a lone wolf's grown old; controlled by his fold So let it be known that I ain't wailing for show I am yearning for discerning soul purpose of soul And if it shows, I suppose you know how suffering goes Coasting along a coast, yet flaking colder than snow? Frozen over oceans notion "go with your flow" A bitter tide divided currents commotions ago Pulling over your wool; will you reap what you sew? Sticking out like a black sheep; your fleece, it could glow I am sick of the role, playing "pretend" for these hoes Trying to fit into a crowd that ain't proud of your growth Like a horoscope warning of the horrors in scope I would readily burst among stars in our trope [CHORUS] Cosmic cognitions align As luminance loses shine Submissive to grand designs (Need I remind myself that it isn't worth dying?) Diamonds aren't worth a dime With crystals losing their shine Seeming to lose track of life (Am I beside myself? Is it even worth trying?) [VERSE 02] Session's in full swing; beckoning our reckoning Apparently "too unintelligent" to prove anything But an answer came to me; examining our room to see A teacher using teaching ability for belittling Considerable effort from a student while preaching How common sense became "an uncommon anomaly" A case to case basis for faces like Caissie Could it be? Lee, has a learning disability? Diagnosing me for why you couldn't properly teach? Aiding me, eh? No. Know that I seek Grading by those qualified and eligible to speak And there shouldn't be an educative issue policed Simply because I look at everything differently Your news ain't news to me; critiquing ain't new to me So try to show class with a deadline within reach If you could please repeat for me, my lack of capability As I attempt to break it down to a molecular degree For you to see your implausibility's impossible to reach Constructive critique, an incomprehensible feat; Pardon me while I theorize another fucking critique! [VERSE 03] Thunder is impressive, but lightning does work I'd like to soar through stars; ignite light on my worth No better way showcasing a display of fireworks Than to orbit our globe; setting stage for how fire works If only I could actually believe in my worth Scoot on up from my bottom; there could be nothing worse But the death of me first; another bubble to burst Tumbling through life without a thing to call yours 30 years old; nothing to claim as my own Every relationship, career choice, home was disowned By either lack of confidence or those who couldn't condone Me for being simply me; continuing on my own Let me tell you this so; it hurts being alone Without direction, or protection, or a den to call home Getting jealous in a whirl while clouds finally form All I wanted from life was to finally be warm Instead of stuck in a storm; but where it rains, it'll pour Without forewarn, was war worn; battered and torn Been a minute since I've cried trying to find what I stand for A man's tears won't show in storms unplanned for [OUTRO] Traveling these lengths? Oh no way we're losing I believe in your strength; continue sailing through it!

about

With a war waging in mind, this song is an anthem for those trying to find their place in the world. For when all hope is gone, and that weight feels impossible to overcome inadequacies, suicidal thoughts, and shortcomings.

Perseverance may be difficult; but after traveling these lengths, a light is shining inside of you that believes in your strength. The only thing you can do is grip tight. Hold on while bracing for impact.

Continue sailing through it. Keep hope alive.
