Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drifting
Watchin' the world go 'round
World go, yeah (World go, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Listening
To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Slippin' through my fingertips
Hey
Lingerin'
Shoulda woulda coulda where'd I put the pen (Whoa)
Make a list of all my failed attempts
Runnin' out of space again
Highlight all the things I wish I never said (Stop)
If healing makes you stronger, I'm the weakest
That would mean that I would have to separate from my beliefs
It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missing pieces
Underneath this strong persona I put on's a kid that's screamin'
Aren't these waters so deceiving (So deceiving)
They look different, don't they?
Well, at least that's how they seem to me 'cause
We just drift and drift and drift until we see something that we define as peaceful
Grab the needle shoot reminders in my veins that people leave you while I'm driftin'
[Verse 3]
Watchin' the world go 'round
World go, yeah (World go, yeah)
[Verse 4]
Listening
To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you
How you're talkin' to yourself is rude
Driftin' I'm in the same boat as you
Sinkin' dreamin' screamin' for some truth
And my, my escalator's broke I'll take the stairs, I guess
Climb until I'm out of breath
Questioning my every step (Whoa)
My train of thought is leading me to different tracks
Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's (Why)
Told you look into the mirror and say I love you
Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to
Passing by the people that have been there to support you from the get go
Disrespectful, drive you mental, might get stressful when I'm driftin'
I see you in the distance askin' me why I'm so distant
I'm convicted, I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list
Won't be heard cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic
When I'm driftin'
[Verse 5]
Watching the world go 'round
World go, yeah (World go, yeah)
[Verse 6]
Listening
To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
[Verse 7]
Ignorant to my ignorance
Tell me I'm worth it God
Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify
To take a step forward, immersed in my
Belligerence, amplified
The feelings and words collide, intensified
By living a life deprived, I'd rather be burned alive
Then go back to thinking I'm insignificant (Insignificant)
Every impotent moment debated can trigger it
God is my witness definitive
Holdin' my head up there isn't a innocent bone in my body
But that's what gives me the energy lacked to renovate
Have to innovate, past intimidates
Can't remain afraid
