Walking

[Verse 1]

Sometimes it’s best to give up the fight
All that really matters is I know that I’m right
I can’t be following anyone else’s ideal path to success
I pass up that stress, build maps for the quest, gasping for breath
Trapped in my head, asking for less rations in death, passion is left
Ashes to dust…
Just to sit in the love of an antique box on my window sill
My mask is my flesh, my dream is to grow wings
And sing ‘til freedom rings
I got no rhythm but I’m eager to unplug my speaker
And let my heart be my teacher
It’s hard to tell where all this comes from
It’s like my soul holds a song that eternity left undone
But it’ll never be finished, that’s the point
But I got to get going, thanks for the inspiration

[Hook x2]

I’m walking
Not cause I’m mad at you or anyone else
I’m walking
Walking until I find myself

[Bridge x2]

Sometimes the closer you get, the further away it gets
I run towards the rainbow but when I get there it’s gone
So next time there’s a rainbow Imma run away from it
So when I turn around, I’ll see it while it’s strong

[Verse 2]

Here we go now, I don’t care about my whereabouts
I’ll blare it out, I gotta go that’s all I know
I’ll hit the road and find my soul, and they say
“Listen to me, get a degree
Look up and see what you can be, infinity”
But everything ain’t anything anyway
I see your eyes and realize I need to cry
That you and I it’s hard to hide
We’re being lied so deep inside
Thanks for your help but I won’t find nothing better
In a world this beautiful, I’ll be walking forever

[Hook]

I’m walking
Not cause I’m mad at you or anyone else
I’m walking
Walking until I find myself
I’m walking
Not cause I’m mad at you or anyone else
I’m walking
Walking until I find myself
I’m walking
Not cause I’m mad at you or anyone else
I’m walking
Walking until I find myself
I’m walking
Walking until I find myself
I’m walking
Walking until I find myself

[Verse 3]

On this journey I don’t expect nothing but the unexpectable
The only thing I know for a fact is that I’ll never know
Too much about myself so Imma keep learning
Cause I’m determined to find what keeps this fire burning
Turning these pages just as slow as I can
Reading every single word from the poet within
I float with the wind and stay content wherever it carries me
There was no beginning and there won’t be an end
I’m just a piece of the galaxy, a seed in the soil
A stream of consciousness and to the seasons I’m loyal
Don’t take my movement personal, it’s not that I don’t dig you
But I can’t be on the beach of your sea when it boils
And so I walk with the music cause to me that’s all that’s real
Don’t know where I’m going, don’t have a plan
I’ve been hearing instructions my whole life
And I still think walking away from the rainbow will make you more of a man

[Hook]

Speaking of walking, as I walked onto the set
The director was like, “What the fuck you doing!?”
Glanced around and said, “My fault. I’m in the wrong movie.”
