Verse 1:

I can smell success in the air, I can taste it

Tip of my tongue and I'm liking the fragrance

I like the [???] and the women that come with it

I like the speed of life it's in the rhythm

I like the [???] and the [???] to a drum beat

Writin rhymes in my room while the sun sleeps

It's in my nature, when I love it I'm obsessive

Slow perfectionist, sense of the desperate

I need to rise and exceed expectation

The dreams of a nation, the seed of my patience

You watch the birth from the cracks in the surface

At first it's [?????????]

I don't rap for the magic that can happen

I rap for the tragedy I need to put a wrap on

I wanna be there when you're closing your eyes

And the beat being played, frozen in time

And you will use it, to make the bad go away

'Cause music has a way to make things dissipate

Some people get controlled by the scripture and the tune

So guess who's pulling all the strings on you

Chorus:

Maybe I will become one of those who will fade away

Maybe I will last till the end of the day

Maybe I will take what I think is mine

Maybe I'm a flame in my own mind

Maybe I'm a ghost in the music played

Maybe I'm just a moment too late

I can see it on the horizon now

Stop, stop, maybe it's my fault now

Verse 2:

I let the sand in the hourglass slip into my fate

I see it bring to life, shifting into place

Through the problems on the way

Through the (?[stain]?) and through the waste

The next chamber of my life a completely different age

But also hear the things, the whispers in the wind

And the ghost of the problems that won't let us begin

I've had lovers come and go

Some stay until the end of it

So who cares about the rest of it

I don't give a fuck if you think that this ink that I write with is something I use to be selfish

I'm doing this for every memory that I have

Regardless what they are, either good, either bad

They tear me up, spit me out, I already live in doubt

I've already given out every little single ounce of energy I have left in me

Trust me from this point on you can't touch me

'Cause everything I could've been has come along

Shred my dreams, you don't even figure in [???] ritalin

So here begins the imminent moment now I'm changing things

Changing the direction in which things seem to be spinnin' in

So turn around, face the front, chase the future, take a punch

Take a little more shit, *scream till you break your lungs*

'Cause when I stop making sound, you know

Something's wrong, I'm either dead or getting close

Chorus:

Maybe I will become one of those who will fade away

Maybe I will last till the end of the day

Maybe I will take what I think is mine

Maybe I'm a flame in my own mind

Maybe I'm a ghost in the music played

Maybe I'm just a moment too late

I can see it on the horizon now

Stop, stop, maybe it's my fault now

Verse 3:

I walk along, wonder where the time goes

I can only dream, but in my mind I spy those things I need

Waiting for the moment to come

I grab life by the horns and run

And you can tell me that the sun just won't shine

But I see it all the time

Maybe I'm a flame that's to go out

But I don't think so somehow

I don't think so somehow

No I don't think so somehow

Chorus:

Maybe I will become one of those who will fade away

Maybe I will last till the end of the day

Maybe I will take what I think is mine

Maybe I'm a flame in my own mind

Maybe I'm a ghost in the music played

Maybe I'm just a moment too late

I can see it on the horizon now

Stop, stop, maybe it's my fault now
