Roads Through Life
• Written by Lance
Verse 1:
I feel so dam tired,
Inside I’m aching
My future might be bright
But my past is always bleak
I’m heavy on the mic
But inside I feel weak
I wanna change my life
But its always next week
Dam – I wanna go on
But it’s like every song’s
Bout not going on
I don’t mean to be morbid
But that shits my mentality
Obsessed I remain
With the roads through life
I’m looking at a man
Through the smoke of my cigar
Standing in the lounge
Of an airport bar
I wonder where he’s going
Will he live will he die?
Wish that that dichotomy
Didn’t live in my mind
Could be going anywhere
He dons his grey coat
He looks down at the ground
And his feet start to go
I felt a deep sadness
As I looked at that man
Was it him or me wishing
In his place I could stand?
Inside I feel heavy
Every breath feels like
It just might be my last
The last step stands
Holding my feet
I’m looking at a fortress
A century old
In a foreign city
That I’ve never know
She’s standing beside me
Back then I knew her name
I doubt she knows mine
I guess were the same
We talked over sushi
And drank down some wine
Norwegian wood
In my pants and my mind
We looked at the sky
And we talked to each other
Walked under the clouds
With none my mind
I felt a connection
It didn’t go on
If I did I doubt that I’d
But writing this song
And now I’m alone - fuck
Verse 2:
But as the time went on
And more thoughts passed
I reflected on a past
That I never had
Habitual, the sensual
Feeling of hate
As they hovered above
Looking down at my face
It wasn’t them
That in my mind I despised
Above the masks
I could see my own eyes
I hated the place
That I had come to inhabit
Cause I felt like
All that it could do was inhibit
But how could I hate it
If it all came from me?
Its like my choices led
To me not being free
Its like I wanna care
But still be carefree
Its like I wanna live
But life means nothing to me
Its like I want to die
But not to loose my desire
I guess if I’ma burn
That I’m gon spit out some fire
I guess if I’ma fall that I’ma get a lot higher
I guess if I’m gon die
The whole worlds gon get dire
Let it burn, let it burn
Let it fall to the ground
Let them die, let them die
I don’t give a fuck now
Let it go, let it go
Let it all fade away
But before then
First let me pray
Verse 3:
But I couldn’t stop there
I will begin
To show you revelations
I will begin
My exodus to excellence
It’s existential
What I get to
It’s not just me
The whole worlds on fire
I know the way
I see the light
Inhibitions gonna
Dig a grave tonight
I will survive
I will endure
Of that one thing
You can be sure
I’ll get my fear
Guts over fear
There’s not a dam thing
That can stop me here
This isn’t motivation
But the result of perspiration
And through all the desperation
It gave birth to inspiration
Not a thing can stop me now
