Intro (feat. EKG) Video (MV)

Sheets blue form my cocoon
Sheltering me from the yellow sun's call
They keep out the lights by replicating the night

Darkness coaxes me to stay in this solace
Free, my duties greet me
Silence is cut open by the short, sharp wailings
Of the blaring tune of my alarm clock

Awakening the routine
Shower, brush teeth, eat, work, repeat

A journey through a faceless mass
Leads me to my workplace
Where I pick away at loose threads
Aimlessly dreaming of my life's true purpose

Frustration clings to my mind with a relentless grip
Creating resentment and confusion and lost parts
I thought I put in their safe place

Free, my duties have left me, and I am met with relief
Washing over me as the sun succumbs to the horizon

I break into night

My daddy told me that he proud of me I said why
What is it glistening in your son when you look him in the eye
Sometimes I wonder why you look and then your eyes get so wide
Knowing your expectations for me are a little too high

And I know you always said that all I can do is try
And that the only limit on me is the blue of the sky
But in this present moment now I wouldn't tell you a lie
It seems the sky is black and falling down on me and that my

Only escape is reaching your idea of greatness or die
The pressure seems to much and now I'm wishing that I could fly
But maybe everything I said about this pressure ain't true
Maybe the pressure came from me and ain't never come from you

But this obligation to see all my dreams coming true
Is an older manifest it ain't no mission that's new
Been carrying this heavy weight since I was like one or two
And if I ain't careful now, a loss I ain't never knew

Though it's hard know the Father got his hands on me
But sometimes when I look up it's like His back in on me
It's been hard to find someone to take some chances on me
Since they booked me for the festival and cancelled on me

Though it's hard know the Father got his hands on me
I've been trynna be someone that makes me proud of me
And I'm hoping little Tyler would look up to me
But I'm not sure with the way I'm feeling lately

Though it's hard know the Father got his hands on me
Folks supported for a moment just to change on me
I don't see no difference anyway I always had me
Since that first piano note came off my fingers loudly

Though it's hard know the Father got his hands on me
Even though I'm in this storm it got me feeling lonely
But I know I'd make it through it if I could only
Find it deep inside myself to not just give up on me
