Limited Express
I fall
I leave and
I let go
For all I know
This brain dead of a year
Has taught me how
And I know now
Ain’t got
The time
The heart
The brain
To attempt
The start of something new
It don’t feel so right for me
I don’t look in no one’s eyes
But only the ones of my own
Reflected in the mirror
In the end, you have to live independently
Forward, march
On your own
In pursuit of the best
And only the best
For that is what I deserve
Don’t expect me to weep for you
For I only weep for your loss
This bird is not contained
By chains of hourglasses
Or ghosts of Christmas past
Climb down your high horses please
They don’t suit you
Being full of oneself isn’t one to be
You ain’t parked on their mind 24/7
Cuz they be towed away after 8 hours
I only raise
Climb higher and higher
Straight up I’ll climb
Can’t catch up,
Then you don’t match my speed
It’s only limited express, baby
Don’t think too much of me
If you don’t dare for it
Cuz I’ll be thinking of someone new
Something new
By the time you get to it
I’ll be long gone
The only thing
I’ll be chasing are
My dreams
That are clear to me
That are dear to me
That will never betray me
Only got passion and hope
In my eyes now
I see myself first
For it is the heavens that I’m yearning for
And this limited express is
Bound for timeless infinity
