Alternate State

Before it's too late and I hesitate
Remember I came from a small town
I guess I'd have to say I'm still running away
From the old mentality
From a mode of thinking
You opened my eyes
Opened my mind
Got a new point of view now, baby
And it's all about you
All the things I've always thought
Have all come to naught
Got a new perception, yeah
Almost a new reflection
I used to be afraid to fly
I'm still a little scared of darkness
I used to be afraid to fly
I'm still a little scared of darkness
Just follow the sound
Guess I got around
On my own initiative
But there was something missing
An alternate state
Alternative ways
Uncovering new sensation, yeah
Discover my true potential
Opening doors
Breaking down walls
'Til there's no glass ceiling on
It's the only feeling
Got out of there fast
I ran from the past
Some pieces of me got left behind
And something will always be there
