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
