lyrics

I get high before I fall
Have it all or nothing at all
Take these hits when it’s my fault
I’ll be it all or nothing at all

Standards and practices of a nomadic path
Traveled far and wide to find the moldavite to my act
This symptom of static never drew me off this path
My labors of love were just an attempt to react
I was patient and kind, well most of the time
Others said I was dark, that’s just a place I reside
But I found a spark where no one else thought it would hide
But still so anxious to rekindle the fire inside
I was drunk off the delusions that my soul had imbibed
Trapped in labyrinth's that had my psyche confined
When your chained by the wings your perception declines
Until the fire inside is fed and begins to rise
When you’re forced to evolve rather than just resign
And accept in your heart that everything will be fine
The world can crumble everywhere except in your own mind
Kendrick said we’d be alright and I believe him this time

[Chorus:]
I’ll get high before I fall
Have it all or nothing at all
Take these hits when it’s my fault
I’ll be it all or nothing at all
I want it all (x16)

Standards and practices of a nomadic heart
I’m in love with so much I don’t know where to start
From the people that provoke all of my passionate parts
To the Eyedea that festers on the outskirts of my art
I was numb to the touch for as long as I can recall
‘Til one day a song in my head caused me to feel it all
Now I look for the places meant to inspire and enthrall
Only heed the voices aimed to get me over these walls
Wasn’t always this confident, slept in a bed made of doubts
‘till patient hands took these nine inch nails out
Was afraid of love until it’s all I was about
Cuz what scares you to life you cannot do without
Wanted to change the world but had to start with myself
Wanted to help people dispel the darkness in themselves
Wanted to show you silver linings to these black clouds
And remove the hand the world placed over your mouth
In a world of exit signs I look for entrances now
Cuz if you never find your way in you’ll never see your way out
It’s a lesson in romantics when life becomes your passion
An example of habits that break the holds of madness
And just like that my panic gave way to this magic
They say I'm creative, honestly I'm just manic
Always trying to paint views that you could call panoramic
A familiar face masking a new dynamic
If my rhymes are plain, they're F-22's now
Won’t appear on their radars till I’m shooting them down
Play Galaga with the bad vibes and take em all out
‘cause I believe you can rise against all of the doubts
Some rise from flames but don't leave the ashtray
Other pray at night to make it through the next day
I understand the compulsion, in some ways we’re the same
That’s why I can say with assurance it’ll be okay

[Chorus]
