Started out with wide eyes
Firm grip, and no surprise
Centerville, a catapult
Launched me on to worlds unknown
Soon to be yesterday's home
Carolina, middle ground
Grew and loved and f*cked around
20 miles felt 44
Turned 21 I hit my low
Free and finally forced to face myself
Breathe for only me and no one else
I hesitate a second guess
How did I make such a mess?
A hurricane without a flood
How can I escape my head?
Take my thoughts and leave 'em for dead
Take my thoughts and leave 'em for dead
A cold call to Illinois
Didn't know where I'm going
The bitter cold, a passing fling
Had to stabilize and be
Free and finally forced to face myself
Breathe for only me and no one else
Born again at 24
On a path that I control
A fortified mentality
Pawning off my misery
You may never even recognize me
You may never even recognize me
