I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change 
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
No, I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change 
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade

I remember when my soul felt so detached 
Emotions like the ocean
Knocking from the past
Demons laughing at me 
Scratching on my back
But no one else to go to but the grave to see my...dad

I done... cried every night
I done... lost many fights
I done... seen my death
But that was the only time and it felt right 

I cry I cry I cry (Yeah)
And I ask why, ask why, ask why (Yeah)
Lord why don't you hear me
My heart is tired
My arms are tied
I'm losing my breath
I know that I've lied
I know I'm not perfect 
Can you give me
Give me a sign
But can you give me a sign
I know I'm not perfect 
But can you give me a sign 
Oh yeah

It's sickening 
Killing me
Thinking of pillaging 
Conscience is bickering 
Blood is just thickening 
Dying is tickling 
Time is just tinkering 
Down
Foul
All of my life and I've been out of bounds
Sinking in water but I can't even drown
Taste of my blood and my eyes are start to gouge 
I scream for my mother 
But she's living down south 
I'm all on my own
With my sins all around

I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change 
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
No, I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change 
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade

Going with the flow
Not interested in a bee's life
Spread my wings amongst the breeze
Floating to an unknown
Nor sad nor happy
Nor extruding nor stagnant 
The air is whimsical 
I'm synced with the waves
Who's moon is a continuous shift
Getting lost at sea
Listening to the dolphins harmonies 
With the subtle waves
I stare deep into my reflection
Thinking who is...
What am I?
A spared human?
Or an entity made with purpose
These waves coast
As I feel I am staggering across a tight rope
Why can't I just be...
My stomach twists at the thought of freedom
The excitement of escape
As the sun dances over the horizon 
I begin to wonder
What's over the cliff?
How deep is the Marina?
My sails adjusted 
Big winds are gusting
My chest inflates - robust
May this new journey 
Be the key to new adventure

I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change 
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
No, I can't feel my body what's in my veins
Darkness round my eyes I pray for change 
I recollect when they didn't know my name
Sipping on dirty my life began to fade
