(Verse 1)
Like, I don't even know why
My mind is wandering to your life
Life, the goals in your short sight
Mine, not hearing my own mind
Right? What else do I hold tight?
Write, reminders of my own light
It doesn't even matter, with the lyrics that I channel
If can't even handle or manage my life
Talk about what's under the cover
Guise, we're tough for the brothers
Guys, want ass - not lovers
I, want a woman to smother
Friends in my life are affecting the way
That I'm thinking of dreams, and future achievements
Gotta travel the world, gotta have a new girl
Gotta blast through the hurdles without proof that I mean this
"Aw, spend all your weekends exploring the bars
Chill with the boys, it's lit, we hard
Keg stands, washed down with beer bongs
We don't even know the fuck who we are"
No self-reflection, naw, no self-awareness, naw
So why are you hanging with these selfish airheads, huh?
I wanna do better cause I
I'm growing out of this life
I waste this gift, when I take a sip
I'm growing out of this basic shit in time
Friends are turning up, then so do I
How do I keep living this no fun life?
Drink in the evening 'til the morning light
So when will I be thinking with my own damn mind?
(Chorus)
Now I don't know how and why I noticed this was sparking up
But it seems like I confide in what I bottle up
Not shaping my own thoughts, it's like my mind's a stencil
People 'round me change the way I think - enviromental
(Verse 2)
Now, my New Zealand dreaming
Sparked up from an old friend fiending
Lord of the Rings, it was flooring to me
But at the core sitting deep is a peaceful feeling
Damn, don't believe what I'm seeing
I'm, thinking it's fantastic
I'll, get away from the madness
Kayak the waters of Abel Tasman
Time, is gonna tell if I move down
Will I live different than I do now?
Walking on glaciers, wander the forests
Wondering how to explore these new grounds?
Will I fall in love with a city?
Auckland, Queenstown, or Welly?
All this from my bud's idea?
And she's not even coming with me
I know that I can get swept away
Watching videos is how I spend my days
See what it's like, to be living their life
Travel vlogs straight for 11 days
Hype, is taking over my whole life
Hype, is giving heat in a cold night
Dipping out of Dodge what I hold so tight?
Or is it that I'm ready for a whole new life?
Trying to figure out what is underneath
Trying to find a woman that would run with me
Trying to dodge life when I duck and weave
Trying to learn why I would up and leave
Talking with friends who travel the world
So maybe that's part of the magic
Trying to let my tale unfurl
Won't matter if it's one for the masses
(Chorus)
Now I don't know how and why I noticed this was sparking up
But it seems like I confide in what I bottle up
Not shaping my own thoughts, it's like my mind's a stencil
People 'round me change the way I think - enviromental
(Verse 3)
I'm 25, time to live my life
I said this for years, it's about damn time
Other people's thoughts and attitudes
And how it's viewed, are running 'round my mind
These views conflicted with mine
These dudes get pissed at my lines
They think that "being a man" is
Weed, brews, and chicks all the time
Personally speaking, it means something else
There's way more to life than just getting wealth
It's creative expression, retain the collective
Rebuilding yourself for the sake of your health
I'm hating the view that
If you ain't getting laid, then you waiting to lose it
I'm walking away from this toxic bitch
I feel like I'm fated to do shit
(Chorus)
Now I don't know how and why I noticed this was sparking up
But it seems like I confide in what I bottle up
Not shaping my own thoughts, it's like my mind's a stencil
People 'round me change the way I think - enviromental

Hopefully you dig it! This song took me a long time to write, and it took at least a couple of weeks worth of trying to record...
