Praying for Clarity
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time I was feeling so alive
Thinking “I have a mind made of fire”
But I was nothing special
Just another anybody with dreams, goals
And a passion for it
[Verse 2]
Once upon a time ‘was ambitious, I was wild
Thinking “I am a star and I'm shining”
But I was nothing more
Than just a piece of shit rapper
With sampled chorus
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that I was good when I was bad
I thought that I was first when I was last
I thought that I was making my way through the darkness
But I was just sitting down on my ass – not doing shit
[Chorus]
I feel like I am wasting away
There ain’t nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail
I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity
[Verse 3]
Once upon a time I was wondering
About my purpose in this life, and I found it
But I was afraid to show it
A demon sleeps on my shoulder
And she must not know it
[Verse 4]
Once upon a time I was flying in the sky
Just admiring the light that was shining
But I flew too high, my wings were melting
That's when I figured I’m like Icarus
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't really care what people said
I didn't really know I needed help
I didn't really see the reality fading
Cause I was just sitting down on my ass – not doing shit
[Chorus]
I feel like I am wasting away
There ain't nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail
I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity
[Bridge]
Throw me in the fire, smoke my ashes when I'm gone;
Or wish me luck and leave me
Cause I cannot be more alone anyway
It's too late to fix me and my rotten, broken soul
Tell me not to worry, cause I swear I won’t
[Chorus]
I feel like I am wasting away
There ain’t nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail
I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity
I feel like I am wasting away
There ain’t nobody there to save me
To raise me up when I fail
I feel like I am fading away
The darkness suffocates me
I'm on my knees and praying for clarity
