lyrics

I was lost
In a cloud of doubt, in a sea of questions
Kept swimming but it got me nowhere
I was starved
By the endless drought
By unlearned lessons

Found the truth
In pursuit of you, in my sea of questions
Kept swimming but it got me nowhere
I was wrong, about who I was
About what I’ve done
And where in hell I’d come from

Still sleeping on couches
Crashed at a couple of houses
Borrowed every part of my outfit,
but that ain’t about shit
My life is a book full of changes,
right now we just flipping through pages
Living in ages
back in time, a travelling mind
is trying to grasp the past that was left behind
While exploring the signs that I have at hand
What does it mean for a black man to be an active activist
Or an artist activated by hardships
And all this backwards involvement
The struggle, for a true sense of being
Where nothing has any meaning and meaning is everything
The severing of old friends and old ties
The opening of blue skies and sunshine
The truth lies in what changes at nighttime
It’s half time, I’m only half past mine

I was lost
In a lucid lie
In a low life high
In a burning dream
Couldn’t see
