Been a while in this place, just a rat in the race
Looking for a track to trace
Got a lot on my mind, should I live this roller ride?
I think I’m ready to try
But even though I know I’m right
It’s hard to live a simple life
In a world capitalized
Gotta make some dough to spend
Burn the candle at both ends
And then you’re ready to die
Fly take to the sky
Soar over the water
Hey take me away and I’ll
Never look back
No I’ll never look back no more.
Been a while in this place, just a rat in the race
Looking for a track to trace
Got a question in my head
Should I wait and wake up dead?
Or be ready to fly
