"Go with the flow." that's what they say
No ripples, or waves, or currents today
What of tomorrow? I wanna find out,
forget about clearing my mind out,
Cast a line out, reeling in only deafening silence,
A directionless breeze is making a way through the trees that'll sway if only for a lack of defiance
And that's where my mind is, not gonna be easy to find it,
The reason behind it, reflection-less me has still gotta know!
What direction my current will go, so
Dreamers like me can croak on repeat, but if I can't sing, I won't even try
If the purpose of life is evoke from the surface of still-moving water, I'm closing my eyes
A second can feel like an hour, I wanna be caught in a storm, not a shower
Something significant, magic, magnificent
Powerful, drowning in chaos, it's imminent, isn't it?
After a while, adrenaline dies and I wonder again, what's it feel like, looking up a blue sky?
Heavy rain in my heart with tomorrow on my mind
I'm finding that everyone outside is grasping the meaning just out of my reach,
Reciting the rhymes that carry a mean I can't bend into speech
Watch an aimless society idling by, forgotten but happy, but why?
Croaking alone by a stagnant stream,
My life is but a dream.
Waiting for a new story
Can't help but think
"How long?"
"How long?"
Accelerating tune of life, but for me?
I wish the world would
Hold on…
Hold on!
Rotating how we view reality
the future waits for
No one,
No one,
I think I'm gonna choose to live care-free
Reset my mind and dance in time to "ordinary"
Sing it now, croak…
Shimmering shining silver lining, spinning at a break-neck pace dilutes the colors away
Croak…
Every time, I'm finding "take-it-easy-does-it" feels like a waste until it fades
Sing it now, croak…
So light up every precious moment, takin' your time, swim in an ocean made of leisurely days
Croak…
I'll float along until the world starts turning again…
Lickety-split kinda movement, better stick to it,
No kicking back to the days when nothing was movin', my motions became incongruent
I'm losing devotion, I don't wanna face it
Pathetically and poetically try to ease it
Rinse and repeat again, maybe I'll rest when I've made myself nothing but legendary-
Relapse. Long for something amazing
A frog who got bored of the pond it was raised in
Fled to a stream that was run adjacent
"Patience? (Wow) It's a form of complacence!"
Sped up the music, intensified gravity
Gonna be somebody, wanna be, have to be!
Happiness? At an uneven pace
But when did my life get so cut-to-the-chase? Spin on,
Now, a slow and steady rotation, trace the axis of a failure-bound and watered-down
expedition for a "perfect place"
The ones who laughed beside my voiceless being during trivial days
I twirled my world around so fast, the last of their smiles had shriveled away
Occasional tides come rocketing into me, lost and exhausted, I thought that I wanted it
The ebb and the flow of the slow is a peaceful release to a fish outta water, but
Childish, insincere, instant success-hungry me is
Fighting back against the crystal clear answer
Waiting for a new story
Can't help but think
"How long?"
"How long?"
Accelerating tune of life, but for me?
I wish the world would
Hold on…
Hold on!
Rotating how we view reality
the future waits for
No one,
No one,
I think I'm gonna choose to live care-free
Reset my mind and dance in time to "ordinary"
Sing it now, croak…
Shimmering shining silver lining, spinning at a break-neck pace dilutes the colors away
Croak…
Every time, I'm finding "take-it-easy-does-it" feels like a waste until it fades
Sing it now, croak…
So light up every precious moment, takin' your time,
swim in an ocean made of leisurely days
Croak…
I'll float along until the world starts turning again…
Now I've got a new story
The last is far behind
A river flows one way
The tide does not rewind
Today, my head's in the clouds
But you know what I say?
When time is standing still
Then it's a fine, fine day…
