Float Along

[Verse 1]
“Go with the flow,” that's what they say
No ripples or waves or currents today
What of tomorrow? I wanna find out
Forget about clearing my mind out
Cast a line out, reeling in only deafening silence
A directionless breeze is making a way through the trees that’ll sway if only for a lack of defiance
That's where my mind is, not gonna be easy to find it
Reason behind it, reflection-less me has gotta know
What direction my current will go, so
Dreamers like me can croak on repeat, but if I can't sing, I won’t even try
If the purpose of life is evokеd from the surface of still-moving water, I'm closing my еyes
A second can feel like an hour, I wanna be caught in a storm, not a shower
Something significant, magic, magnificent
Powerful, drowning in chaos, it's imminent, isn't it?
After a while, adrenaline dies and I wonder again, what's it feel like, looking up at the blue sky?
Heavy rain in my heart with tomorrow on my mind
I'm finding that everyone outside is grasping the meaning just out of my reach
Reciting the rhymes that carry a meaning I can't bend into speech
Watch an aimless society idling by, forgotten but happy, but why?
Croaking alone by a stagnant stream
My life is but a dream

[Chorus]
Waiting for a new story
Can't help but think
“How long? How long?”
Accelerating tune of life, but for me?
I wish the world would
Hold on, hold on
Rotating how we view reality
The future waits for
No one, no one
I think I’m gonna choose to live carefree
Reset my mind and dance in time to “ordinary”
Sing it now
Croak, croak croak
Shimmering, shining, silver lining, spinning at a break-neck pace dilutes the colors away
Croak, croak, croak
Every time, I’m finding “take it easy does it” feels like a waste until it fades
Sing it now
Croak, croak, croak
So light up every precious moment, taking your time
Swim in an ocean made of leisurely days
Croak, croak, croak
I'll float along until the world starts turning again

[Verse 2]
Lickety-split kinda movement, better stick to it
No kicking back to the days when nothing was moving, my motions became incongruent
I’m losing devotion, I don't wanna face it
Pathetically and poetically try to erase it
Rinse and repeat again
Maybe I'll rest when I've made myself nothing but legendar-
Relapse. Long for something amazing
A frog who got bored of the pond it was raised in
Fled to a stream that was running adjacent
Patience? It’s a form of complacence
Sped up the music, intensified gravity
Gonna be somebody, wanna be, have to be
Happiness? At an uneven pace
But when did my life get so cut-to-the-chase?
Spin on now, a slow and steady rotation
Trace the axis of a failure-bound and watered-down expedition for a perfect place
The ones who laughed beside my voiceless being during trivial days
I twirled my world around so fast, the last of their smiles had shriveled away
Occasional tides come rocketing into me, lost and exhausted, I thought that I wanted it
The ebb and the flow of the slow is a peaceful release to a fish out of water, but
Childish, insincere, instant success-hungry me is fighting back against the crystal clear answer

[Chorus]
Waiting for a new story
Can't help but think
"How long? How long?"
Accelerating tune of life, but for me?
I wish the world would
Hold on, hold on
Rotating how we view reality
The future waits for
No one, no one
I think I'm gonna choose to live carefree
Reset my mind and dance in time to “ordinary”
Sing it now
Croak, croak, croak
Shimmering, shining, silver lining, spinning at a break-neck pace dilutes the colors away
Croak, croak, croak
Every time, I'm finding “take it easy does it” feels like a waste until it fades
Sing it now
Croak, croak, croak
So light up every precious moment, taking your time
Swim in an ocean made of leisurely days
Croak, croak, croak
I'll float along until the world starts turning again

Now I've got a new story
The last is far behind
A river flows one way
The tide does not rewind
Today, my head's in the clouds
But you know what I say?
When time is standing still
Then it's a fine, fine day
