A psychedelic song, about the struggles of addiction.
Dedicated to a friend, as it tells a little of his adventure, and the struggles of making it to another day through the conversations I have had with him.
Also in the same way, his favorite band was Pink Floyd, and liked to listen to a lot of pop punk artists and bands. So I tried to mimic a sound based off these groups that made a big impact on him.
Rest In Paradise Kial, this one is for you.
Lyrics:
Cuz I've been chasing the horizon
the rays have been blinding my vision
but I am still out here chasing
something that I am missing
won't you come along?
And I been so alone again
but it feels like home again
spend my last dollar
being hooked to this collar
the eye of the needle holds a thread
and I can see the light
the hue is changing its color
its bleeding down this road
that I call home
where has this been all my life
and maybe I am just past gone
I hope this high, can last long
cuz I am still out here chasing
I am running and I'm stumbling
won't you come along
I've been chasing, I been chasing
the horizon, and I don't know where it ends
so I am trying to feel alive again
or get away with trying to pretend
trying to find my own worth
I am all alone in the universe
thats why I could use a pick me up
before my soul goes blowing up and I erupt
just trying to find my purpose
get away from this circus
can't you help me, I am so lonely love
forget it
I been trying to be good, but life has a way of destroying plans
adult hood is the worst hood, I ever set my feet in
so while I am here let me get something to ease the pain
I tried taking you along for the ride, but instead you stood in the rain
now in this dungeon, because the fuzz think I'm a lowlife
maybe my mind just ain't right
blame it all on not being too bright
but I keep myself informed
with the word on the street
she believes I'm a worm
but when I bleed I see the true leech
but however I can't admit that I
am ruined
I been trying to be good, but life has a way of destroying plans
adult hood is the worst hood, I ever set my feet in
so while I am here let me get something to ease the pain
I tried taking you along for the ride, but instead you stood in the rain
the man sent me down the road
I lost my way home
at the half way mark with meth mouth
I feel so alone
I was super clean
Lost myself in the gasoline
and the lean
at the young age of only
seventeen
the light was bright yet
And the sun shone brightly when you came
but somewhere a rain cloud
hid it all away
so I said a prayer,
regardless of atheists in my ear
and that was when
i stole a car, got out of there
i hit the plug up, meet me in Jackson
the payment arrangement
was jacking my pockets.
would do anything, for what I was lacking
and when I smoke this,
everything will be golden
my job at the car wash
will finally feel decent
and at that point, old habits die hard
i would sneak away from you
just to go buy some Mikes Hard
and my musician friend
he would never say shame on me
because he knows life,
and he definitely knows strugglings
and I would enjoy life,
if even for just a fraction of a second
this was time well spent
this is how I was vibing.
I tried my best
To bring this pain to rest
and to try to save my life
but I am still awake at night
The only hope
that I have
The horizon shines bright
but I know I will find
the path thats wrong
instead of the road thats right
I am hurting myself
and I know
that I am too late to turn back
the mountain is high
and time is not on my side
horizon just turned black
i am not scared of death
i know folks scared of breath
They can't expect a second chance
When it's all said and done
when its all said and done
And the world is a mess
But I will never forget
its as real as it gets
As we retrace our steps
ill take you with me
I will rest in peace
