Story behind the song
The artist was experiencing a pretty serious depression, when out of the darkness came this song. Now it has been recorded, mastered, and ready to reach out to anyone going through hard times. Enjoy.
Lyrics
My heart races fast, like car chases- CRASH! But brilliance resides in dark places. Out the ash blazes a phoenix in full flight just when you think beating the odds a fool’s fight. You can lose almost anything, just don’t lose sight. Keep your eyes facing forward and choose life ‘cause life may seem like a b*** but sh** changes, and diving in the other direction is straight aimless. Turn to the darkness and scream: “You can’t hurt this light cause if I’m still alive it means there’s still purpose!” Carry on trooper, pain is part of life. You made it through the good times, you’ll make it through the strife. Lately... Feels like I’ve run out of options. I’m tired of running. Lately... Feels like I’ve run out of air... I think I’m drowning. Drowning in them bottles of liquor is doing nothin’. You’re facing demons, what you think they doin’, bluffin’? Play wisely when your chips are down, everything flips around. You just gotta stay in the game and winner gets the crown. And I ain’t saying you gon’ win em’ all, but pick yourself up the first time and next time you know you’ll witstand the fall. Survival makes you stronger. To eat you need this hunger. So just embrace what you’re feelin’, it won’t be here much longer. All that silver lining bull sh** is true, it’s right there. You just gotta thug it out, nightmares don’t fight fair. But keep your guard up. Don’t forget to breathe homie. Stay in the battle a bit longer, don’t you leave on me. I’ve heard you say that “life’s a b*** and then you die.” Well somewhere in between is the part about being alive. There’s ups and downs, yeah... It’s all part of the ride. I know it’s hard to see it now but try. Try. Lately... Feels like I’ve run out of options. I’m tired of running. Lately... Feels like I’ve run out of air... I think I’m drowning. Lately... I feel I’m drowning, but drowning won’t break me. It’ll just make me stronger. Lately... I feel I’m drowning, but drowning won’t break me. This is my mantra, daily. Lately... I feel I’m drowning, but drowning won’t break me. It’ll just make me stronger. Lately... I feel I’m drowning, but drowning won’t break me. This is my mantra.
