Drift Away
All the bad habits I have in life
Reduced me to envy and strife
I hadn’t the strength to move on just yet
I’m still trying to have a giving mentality, not a getting motive – something I would not regret
I want to believe and have faith, even in death
But, there’s times when I need to save my breath
I need an upgrade in my house desperately
I long to be with me, myself and I frankly
Simple conversations flood my mind,
Letting time slowly, but surely unwind
Time has a way to mock my essence of ignorance
I’m in a trance – I seek Your fragrance of pure elegance
I have fallen short again and again and again
I’d take your pain and inflict it upon myself
I’d take ten thousand punches just for your safety’s sake
Don’t break me, silence from afar…my life’s at stake
Remember me as I drift away
Remember me as I drift away
