lyrics

I'm still inside my own head
These quicksand struggles haven't done me any good
I'd like to think I want change
I'd like to think I would if I could

I feel like I have no influence on my actions
I'm told that I do but there's no way it's true
I operate on what happened
Living in the present isn't something that I do

All I know is that I don't know anything.
Maybe I'm done pretending that I do.
Socrates was right so long ago.
It took me 23 years to see the truth.

These next lines will be positive
After reading back the first half I sound like I'm sad
That isn't quite the case though
I'm just transitioning; uncovering some things that I have had

So I'll move forward every day now
Trying hard not to look back at my perplexing history
What more can I say now?
Silence would be fine but I have choruses to sing

I wanna do it for my legacy
When my kids are alive I want them loving everything
They don't need to be like me
Not entirely at least, I'll only give them what they need

I'm excited for that future
A nucleus where we can share and never fear scared
[That's] not exactly what I'm used to
I love alot about my youth but we were never perfect there
