Verse 1:
Yeah, it’s hard to see it all just crumble,
Hard to sleep, eyes wet, heart humbled.
Tears fall, can’t do a thing about it,
Heartbeat’s loud, but the reason? Doubt it.
Thoughts tear me, back to better days,
Could’ve done anything, but I lost my way.
Now I speak truth, raw and real,
Hard to tell dreams from what I feel.
I’m a traveler’s notebook, Holy Ghost ink,
Sneaking through time, trying hard to think—
What was God’s message for the children left?
But it’s too late now, just echoes and breath.
Hook:
I’m on one, searching for the perfect line,
But all I got left are fractured rhymes.
Broken bones, a wish I can’t mend,
Just to hold once more… a heart, a friend.
Verse 2:
Off the top, peak of my mind,
From my spine to toes, I try to find—
My soul, lost, but not gone forever,
One day I’ll meet it again, maybe never.
This life I lead, yeah, now it’s mine,
No more chains from the love I left behind.
The tears, the lies, still stain my chest,
But I woke up—this pain’s just a test.
I’m alive, I smile through the ache,
That was me, off the top, no fake.
Bridge:
When someone’s kind, I feel unworthy,
Like I’m too broken, dark and dirty.
Wanna throw it all—this phone, this space,
Find peace, slow drive, no race.
Smoke in lungs, dry vocals gone,
So I don’t snap and pick you apart like a photo I once drawn.
Verse 3:
Right now, I ain’t chasing love or fame,
Just real ones—talk, laugh, play no games.
If more grows, then let it grow,
But I won’t fake hope I don’t even know.
I just wanna be free from the lies and chains,
This cold world drains hearts and brains.
We starve for worth in empty things,
While jell bird thoughts clip our wings.
Outro - “The Apple I Picked”
You were the apple, the only one I chose,
Not just for the beauty, or how the story goes.
You stood out in the blinding light,
Shining brighter than stars in the night.
Out of all the apples, I picked you true,
And I thank the skies every day I do.
Not for the taste, or the colors I see,
But because you were you, and you meant something to me.
