Touch The Sky

[Hook]
I tried to touch the sky
But I couldn’t reach it
I tried to get high
But I couldn’t feel it
I let the world slip away
My grip, I couldn’t keep it
I wish I could drift away
But I would get too seasick

[Verse 1]
I keep my sights set ahead
Keep on running
Ima hop over every fence
It goes too fast
Ima take a pull before I take my last breath
Ima lap the rest before I take my last step
Write up on my flesh
I was honest till my death
I gave up the story straight from the source
You ain’t got visit no middle man
Or no clerk
Up until my last word
I been known my worth
Been a menace since birth
I’m waiting for the crowd to disperse
I was born the third
But I’m coming in first
And if you reach far enough
You can break through the clouds and the dusk
One foot in the mud
And one hand next to God
How does it feel to be up with the stars
How does it feel to be up with the stars

[Hook]
I tried to touch the sky
But I couldn’t reach it
I tried to get high
But I couldn’t feel it
I let the world slip away
My grip, I couldn’t keep it
I wish I could drift away
But I would get too seasick

[Verse 2]
I’m not one with the ships
I never learned how to float as a kid
But now I’m off in the abyss
I pray God keep me from sinking when I dip
It’s hard to ignore it when the weather’s not my friend
I spend too much time snoring in my bed
Let the water wash my sins
And the bread will keep me fed
Can I show up to church when I’m off a binge?
I be strung out as shit
Maybe the gospel will make sense then
I been struggling since a kid at Faith Christian
Everybody wanna lie about everything
Except forgiveness

[Hook]
I tried to touch the sky
But I couldn’t reach it
I tried to get high
But I couldn’t feel it
I tried to touch the sky
But I couldn’t reach it
I tried to get high
But I couldn’t feel it
Tried get high but I couldn’t feel it

[Interlude]
You know how high you gotta get to get, like
Not even feel that shit anymore?
It’s not like, further inducing into a coma
It’s like
You’re already in the coma

[Hook]
I tried to touch the sky
But I couldn’t reach it
I tried to get high
But I couldn’t feel it
I let the world slip away
My grip, I couldn’t keep it
I wish I could drift away
But I would get too seasick
Cause I would get too seasick
Cause I would get too seasick
I would get too seasick
Sail away in my ship
