Lord Knows

Deep thoughts on life
What's deeper my heart or my mind
No time for mistakes
No percentage errors
Radical
Maybe that's why I'm grounded
I was taught to fly
How is it possible to be humble at the same time
My God, my life, my lady, my team, my dreams
Never been sure how it will all play out
Never really sure of my reasons to avoiding the doubts
Walking on the thin line between arrogance, cockiness and confidence
I don't mind swimming those waters
I don't mind putting all my chips in
I don't mind taking the current loss
Because right around every corner is an incomparable win
Used to be on the run from any storm
Only to realize I was running to find out who I am
Think of who I'll be tomorrow
Think of who I'll be at the end of this dying sun
Finally get to witness what it means to be happy
Yet only in the eye of the hurricane
Cause the world surrounding is full of uncompromised skepticism
Full of the fury from the women who left me outside of those pearly gates
I didn't become a monster
I didn't become a legend
Call me a king for my own set of reasons
Call me mad for creating my own path
Had to leave behind the dead weight
Men were once boys but not all boys become men
Not all ignorance is bliss
No form of truth can come from fiction
The parallels of a peasant and a saint
The parallels of a heathen and the house that sank
Dot the I's
Cross the T's
Check the box
Live within the adjusted means
Become the reckless
Don't forsake the helpless.
Take away the dangers
Live the life of the oppressed.
