Moment Of Silence (feat. Josh Woods)

Oh man, Lucid. Where do I even start?

Your music, it's amazing

It's like you really believe in what you're after

In my opinion

It's some of the best, the best, music out there

Keep it up TJ

What if I told you that I didn't feel good enough and I'm broken

What if I said that I'm losin' my faith and been struggling with coping

Been stuck for a while

When I look at the clock man I feel like it's frozen

Then again time is just flying too quick

And I'm losing devotion

Truth is I feel no emotion

Bottled it up and all I feel is rage

And I would be lying if I looked at you and said I'm not afraid

What if I never get through this shit

What do I do if I can't find my way

And I know that my father has been counting on me to carry our name

Speakin' of him and I got to be honest

We ain't really speakin' these days

I've been scared that I won't get to know him

Before the day he fades away

My family fought a lot when I was growin' up

What can I say?

What can I say?

What can I say?

By fightin', there ain't really nothin' to gain

I know that the sun is out there somewhere

But I've been livin' in rain

Can we quit playin' games

I'm standin' right here and I'm ready to change

And mama I promise to give you the world if I make it to fame

Put you both on a stage and make it so everyone's screamin' your name

It's times like this I see your face

Wish you didn't leave this place

Searchin' for the reason why

So take a moment of silence, goodbye

Give me a second

I wanna say something to my little brother

When you get older, your father is not gonna be with your mother

I'm 23 years older than you, I know it's kinda confusing

Forget all the bullies that make fun of you, it's just for their amusement

Let go of negative, seek out the light

Develop yourself, you should journal and write

Speak with integrity, treat women right

And you don't gotta drink every typical night

Being popular really ain't everythin'

Nah don't give into that hype

And it's okay to forgive the people that hurt you

But don't give in twice

And to each of my sisters

I know we been drifted, our parents divorced

We all moved away, and the family shifted

Yeah we visit on Christmas

But even the holidays' different

Got to make something out of this gift that God has graciously gifted

I know that the sun is out there somewhere but I've been livin' in rain

Can we quit playin' games

I'm standin' right here and I'm ready to change

And mama I promise to give you the world if I make it to fame

Put you both on a stage and make it so everyone's screamin' your name

It's times like this I see your face

Wish you didn't leave this place

Searchin' for the reason why

So take a moment of silence, goodbye

Give me a second

I owe an apology to a few people

I regret a few things and I made some mistakes

When I gave into evil

To all my exes I'm sorry I know I was often deceitful

But after Veronica cheated, I gave up

And didn't treat future girls equal

I'm sorry to all that I pushed away

When I fell deep in depression

I never gave enough attention to people I love

So I just started ruinin' friendships

I guess that I taken the easy way out by rapping confessions

This is a passion of mine and the only way

That I can deal with my stresses

And I get emotional every time I stop and think about Taylor

Still can't believe that you took your own life away

Just to get rid of these haters

I just hope that you found some peace

And serenity in your decision

No one knew what you were going through

Then again maybe we just didn't listen

To my granny, I wish that I said goodbye before the day that you left

Not telling you how much I love you is something that I still regret

But I know you're in heaven and that it's all okay

One day I'll be with you, and all my fans will be screamin' my name

This song is dedicated to Taylor Eller

We love you

And may you rest in peace
