imKENNETHY - Gradient Dreams Lyrics

Start to think that everything is a sign
Every week be passing by within the blink of an eye
Cannot tell what's got a hold of me
Leaving what I know it feels like a homecoming
Graduation kinda came and went
Finished a year early the sentiments
Did not have the same effect that storybooks told
Now it's time to come to terms with how the memories fold
From yesterday I feel the distance while the distant past I reach out and touch
Put the pieces together im just a pawn
Before I found myself I had to find I belonged
And that the truth is rarely black and white
Maturing learning how to envy the most boring life
When you see how many live without peace for long enough
Had to have some honest conversations who brought it up
Not me cause I'm unbothered you called my bluff
Put it all out on the line, but do it all for love

Put it all out on the line, but do it all for love
Watch the sky turn gradient
And the sky turns

Hopped in the uber to a holiday party
Rocking a nice suit driver complimented me kindly
She was the daughter of a priest in her motherland
She pled her truth, of the father tried to understand
Told her the ways Ive been blessed, and my shortcomings found her impressed
Perspective wider than most kids that she'd met
Told her bout my fam, bout my past, some shit that I've seen
Asked her bout the rapture and our free will I was keen
Irony of the timing that had brought us together
I had got myself on track chasing means of celebration
The next week I was raving back to back from hitting Vegas
Taking shrooms popping Molly feeling like I made it
I promised to call and one day join her at church
Cause I truly felt the love when she recited a verse
Admire anyone who takes a leap to feel the divine
So I didn't have the heart to say I thought it was lies still
Still allow it though to stick with me, most people would've brushed it off
My generation believe in believing nothing
But you cannot blame us the way the needle jumping
Back and forth constantly
Im honestly f*cked up
Directionless but tell me how can I build trust
Two lives but which one is more free
Being the best of what I am or who I'm meant to be

Watch the sky is turn gradient
And the sky is turns gradient
Sun peaking through the clouds
I see our then and now
It's something to find safety in
Watch the sky turn gradient
And the sky turns gradient

Spending a lot time alone now
Relying on myself and f*ck a profile
Lived in a bubble throughout my adolescence
Leaving it feel lonely but a bit refreshing
The fan behavior is a little extra
Gossip and eavesdropping put so much effort
I'm not just taking bout the worship of celebrities
Who in your circle treats their friends like they TMZ
Shawty go and get your own life
You making issues out of nothing cause you bored right
Any fabrication that will give you some more validation
Cause you cannot keep a friend or the men you dating
When our youth starts to fade what qualities should we keep with us
I hope a piece of it remains once it all hits us
What doesn't make us stronger prolly gon kill us
Flipped it on its head to get the real picture
