Drifting

Watchin' the world go 'round

World go, yeah (world go 'round)

Listening

To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds

Unknown sounds, unknown sounds

Slippin' through my fingertips (ayy), lingerin'

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, where'd I put the pen? (woah)

Make a list of all my failed attempts

Runnin' out of space again

Highlight all the things I wish I never said (stop!)

If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest

That would mean I would have to separate from my beliefs

It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missin' pieces

Underneath this strong persona, I put on a kid that's screamin'

Aren't these waters so deceivin'? (so dеceivin')

They look differеnt, don't they?

Well, at least that's how they seem to me

'Cause we just drift and drift and drift

Until we see something that we define as peaceful

Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins

That people leave you when I'm driftin'

Watchin' the world go 'round

World go, yeah (world go 'round)

Listening

To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds

Unknown sounds, unknown sounds

Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you

How you're talkin' to yourself is rude

Driftin' I'm in the same boat as you

Sinkin', dreamin', screamin' for some truth

And (my, my) escalator's broke, I'll take the stairs, I guess

Climb until I'm outta breath

Questioning my every step (woah)

My train of thought is leading me to different tracks

Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's (why)

Told you look into the mirror and say, I love you

Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to

Passin' by the people that have been there to support you

From the get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental

Might get stressful when I'm driftin'

I see you in the distance

Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted

I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard

'Cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic

When I'm driftin'

Watchin' the world go 'round

World go, yeah (world go 'round)

Listening

To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds

Unknown sounds, unknown sounds

Ignorant to my ignorance

Tell me I'm worth it, God

Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify

To take a step forward, immersed in my belligerence, amplified

The feelings and words collide

Intensified by living a life deprived

I'd rather be burned alive then go back

To thinking I'm insignificant (insignificant)

Every impotent moment debated can trigger it

God is my witness definitive

Holding my head up there isn't a innocent bone in my body

But that's what gives me the energy lacked to renovate

Have to innovate, past intimidates, can't remain afraid
