Forward Lyrics
Everything in balance
Drown myself in the white noise
Just to come home and love the silence
It wasn't always like this
My mindset took a little adjustment
Now, I only answer to myself and the supreme
No need for your judgment
Another suburban teenage cliche, fine
But I stayed trusting the haze more
Back then, days after days
Of feeding into little misbehavior
Drugs and the liquor
Roaming the streets ready to pull the trigger
On myself and my identity
I'd rather just let it go
I'd rather just let her be
Rather than learn how to love myself
I'd rather, quite literally settle into this darkness
Because it feels like home now
Welcome the clouds into my mind
Like I'm fluent in the language of storms now
Doesn't everybody love this?
Letting yourself be defined by what chisels you away
I don't have that kind of weight
I'm not Michelangelo
I don't see the angel inside the marble
I only see, I only feel, I only love
The demons inside the mortal
It took me years to climb through the jungle
And cut through the thicket
To see clarity, to feel emotions
Because this world is far too intricate
Offer yourself up as a canvas
And let the world paint your soul with a million colors
As the paint hovers above the black, remember
That without feeling, a human is artless
Never forget where you and I came from
Right up out of the darkness
