lyrics

[hook]
I keep swimming in this broken dream - just trying to make it through
And if I make it to the other side - I hope I see you

[verse 1]
You see this is no admission
You don't need contrition if you always follow your vision
See ambition always gets the credit
But with no patience, more choices get regretted
And you forget where you're headed
Confuse lack of direction for a lack of perspective
You can back-track to the right path, but my math says fate doesn't let it
This is who I dare to be, I'm searching for clarity
On the road to prosperity - this is my therapy
Understanding is wanted but I won't beg
A dream deferred and it's really on it's last leg
I need people in my corner to help build me up
Fill me up with inspiration, no option of giving up
I'mma keep pushing through these lonely nights
Fighting for a single dream, yeah it's only right
This is the anthithisis of what is accepted
Left with the ambivalence to defend and protect it (I gotta protect it)

[verse 2]
I think the stress is catching up to me
Most nights anxiety is my only company
So what do you want from me? Trying to keep it together
But there's much more to the storm that I'm trying to weather
See a lot of people tapping out and excepting their position
Down the line they have to be convinced they made the right decision
You gave up...said your dreams are too far fetched
Better stretch your imagination til there's no time left
We're fighting gravity, watching the sand fall through the hour glass
As every hour passes, it's agony
When one door closes there's a chance another opens
But if not, you better learn how to build one quick
Enough with the excuses, pointing the finger, placing the blame
Same song, different singer, we're all facing the same
Hid this ambition thinking it was just a phase that would pass
I've had enough of that, I'm going for it at last
