Drifting Watchin' the world go 'round World go, yeah (world go, yeah) Listening To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds Unknown sounds, unknown sounds Slippin' through my fingertips (ayy), lingerin' Shoulda, woulda, coulda, where'd I put the pen? (Woah) Make a list of all my failed attempts, runnin' out of space again Highlight all the things I wish I never said (stop) If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest That would mean that I would have to separate from my beliefs It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missin' pieces Underneath this strong persona I put on's a kid that's screamin' Aren't these waters so deceivin'? (So deceivin') They look different, don't they? Well, at least that's how they seem to me 'Cause we just drift and drift and drift Until we see something that we define as peaceful Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins That people leave you while I'm driftin' Watchin' the world go 'round World go, yeah (world go, yeah) Listening To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds Unknown sounds, unknown sounds Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you How you're talkin' to yourself is rude Driftin', I'm in the same boat as you Sinkin', dreamin', screamin' for some truth And (my, my) escalator's broke, I'll take the stairs, I guess Climb until I'm outta breath, questioning my every step (whoa) My train of thought is leading me to different tracks Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's (why) Told you look into the mirror and say, "I love you" Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to Passin' by the people that have been there to support you From the get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental Might get stressful when I'm driftin' I see you in the distance Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard 'Cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic When I'm driftin' Watchin' the world go 'round World go, yeah (world go, yeah) Listening To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds Unknown sounds, unknown sounds Ignorant to my ignorance Tell me I'm worth it, God Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify To take a step forward, immersed in my belligerence, amplified The feelings and words collide Intensified by living a life deprived I'd rather be burned alive Than go back to thinkin' I'm insignificant (insignificant) Every impotent moment debated can trigger it God is my witness definitive Holdin' my head up, there isn't an innocent bone in my body But that's what gives me the energy lacked To renovate, have to innovate, past intimidates Can't remain afraid -NF
