Drifting Away

I lost myself inside my pain The bruises on my knees reflect how in vain Prayers and pleading fell on deaf ears Til I shut my eyes and gave in to fear And now I'm throwing caution to the wind Never caring if I live or die or what's gonna be on the other side Of my sanity I'll destroy my mind faster than we can destroy me And when I sit in the sun rolling up all my bad thoughts into a blunt And the feelings that were crammed into my lungs have been dumped I'll exhale that shit No more worrying Cuz I'm done with it and I'm drifting away Drifting away I'm drifting away Searching for a sign out in the sky A smoke signal, cloud or a pair of eyes To tell me what I need to do Who I need to be to set myself free And through the air a message finds my ears Telling me not to act on my deepest fears but act on what I love and who I trust wholeheartedly Instead of dying in regret I'll be living dangerously No more worrying about what other people think No more worrying about drowning in my dreams I'm learning how to fly again, way past the skies Past the hold of earth until I'm drifting away Drifting Away I'm drifting away, yeah Soaring on free wings Clears up everything It lets me see the paths from my mistakes But those mistakes don't define me It's how I recover that reminds me who I am And how to live Cloud drops from singing in the rain Have covered up the tears that fell down my face Sailing through a gentler breeze I kiss goodbye all notions that hurt me Removing the knife from my back Was the hardest thing to achieve The bad blood I had opted to keep Imprisoned me in my misery So I, and so I, begin to wade in the river Trying to find some inner peace All my aches and all my pain All my love and all my hate is drifting away Drifting Away It's Drifting Away I'm drifting away, I'm drifting away, yeah! I'm drifting away, yeah
