I woke up like I have my own name now
His shadow's weight, the shit just ain't the same now
My claim to fame is no longer chasing all these rain clouds
And it's f*cking insane how the sky paints brighter days now
The pain's still in my heart and I can't let it go
The me I've come to lose I now choose to know
Bruised from truth
Glued to my roots
Uproot the clues
To fuse the proof of surviving youth
With the blues of who I've become
A seed seeking peace
More than just his father's son
Far from the cradle
Able to make my own label
No vacant seats
F*ck it, I build my own table
Hunger to feed
On fables I reread
From times I couldn't breathe
Beneath these rocky seas
Clenched teeth meet freedom
In words I finally speak
Ones I refused to see
One life I have to lead
Retreats no way to dreams
Belief in inner me
I see I was never you
And you were never me
Wrongs we'll never right
Lives we can't relive
Regrets with no rewind
It's time that I forgive
Grew up broke
Broke up bread
Soaked in dollar store stew we got fed
Grew up broke
Broke up bread
Soaked in dollar store stew we got fed
Better yet
Shit, I'm better than I ever been
Could say some pain became the best medicine
No longer screaming let us in
I've settle sins which were once unsettling
My heart's been pedaling
Back through these years
Choked on tears
And stoked with fear
No hope grew near
Now my vision is clear
I need turn this f*cking poison to creative ascension
Close to fully mended from grief's deception
I need to steer my life in its own direction
Time I start to see me in my own reflection
I always keep your ghost close to my chest
So your love can haunt the holes I've learned to accept

One name
Both of us
