[00:21.91] |
Show me where the levee is, let's sit and watch the river |
[00:24.50] |
As it flows with a consistency I wish we could pursue |
[00:27.47] |
And though the pain is evident, this journey was a requisite |
[00:30.64] |
I feel a certain heaviness, I know you feel it too |
[00:33.49] |
My body weakens when these memories spontaneously |
[00:36.35] |
Break into my brain. Ironic how the pain |
[00:38.80] |
Is amplified like a speaker when the times contemplated |
[00:41.80] |
Were the days that were greatest: now it's all that remains |
[00:44.29] |
There's something special, something simply unforgettable |
[00:47.29] |
About this simple gathering, living and intentional |
[00:50.29] |
I'm sitting with a pen, a thought a statue on it's pedestal |
[00:53.17] |
Written down the memories to stash it in my envelope |
[00:56.00] |
So here's a memo and a billion copper pennies |
[00:58.39] |
Representing every though I had of you (it's not for spending) |
[01:01.71] |
But I'm spent and I'm ending my attempts of assertiveness |
[01:04.41] |
And praying to my Father that His Will ain't misinterpreted |
[01:07.24] |
These mistakes... That's how I'm learning it |
[01:10.08] |
I hate change... But that's what inertia is |
[01:13.08] |
I made a table from the pain that overdosed my conscience |
[01:16.23] |
Broke my fist and then I wrote this bloody poem on it |
[01:18.94] |
Show me to trail that'll take us to the waterfall |
[01:21.48] |
Listen to the metaphor: learn from it's example |
[01:24.24] |
Even though we fall, we should always be transparent |
[01:26.98] |
Even though we crash, we will always be majestic |
[01:29.58] |
Watch me discipline my patience like a finger to the parchment |
[01:32.66] |
The fire in my heart just seemed to flicker in the darkness |
[01:35.46] |
Traded in my passion for the sake of the tradition |
[01:38.18] |
Beat my body for the mission but the payment was my vision |
[01:41.08] |
I know I'm young but I know something wasn't feeling right |
[01:43.69] |
This sacrifice should never keep me weeping in my sleep at night |
[01:46.83] |
I'm misaligned like a lady losing focus |
[01:49.10] |
Holds her baby on her shoulder with a case of scoliosis |
[01:52.37] |
We're getting close but never close enough to open up |
[01:55.03] |
I'm getting cold but never close enough to warm me up |
[01:58.25] |
This one's for everybody hiding in the secrecy |
[02:00.84] |
For every week of being weak without you seeing it |
[02:03.96] |
For every inconsistent moment asking if it's worth it |
[02:06.86] |
I forgive that I could count on your discouragement |
[02:09.70] |
God forbid perhaps I sicken you with honesty |
[02:12.27] |
And I forgive that you've withheld your reciprocity |
[02:15.23] |
You ever felt the pain of weeping with sincerity |
[02:17.82] |
To find that not a single drop released was taken seriously? |
[02:20.63] |
Have you ever chose to chase the passion in your heart? |
[02:23.50] |
Flaming matches in the dark? Making action from a spark? |
[02:26.24] |
Ignite the fear and vanish, scrape the ashes so the diamond shines |
[02:28.94] |
Only in the end just to be criticized: I just can't |
[02:31.75] |
Reach the expectations set by everybody else |
[02:34.29] |
When I hardly could fulfill the ones I'm setting for myself |
[02:37.14] |
Let's have another meeting... let's talk about the plan |
[02:39.94] |
Let's discuss how we'll advance, let's entrust it in His hands |
[02:42.67] |
I'm sorry for my apathy, I've been depressed lately |
[02:45.63] |
I haven't been myself I know, I've been so stressed lately |
[02:48.47] |
I know what real darkness is, road is long and arduous |
[02:51.38] |
The yoke is hard and pardon for the scarring on my cartilage |
[02:54.26] |
Locked in war and the casualty is hope and growth |
[02:57.14] |
I'm battling with emptiness, my family is broke |
[02:59.34] |
And I just want to talk, but it just seems you're busy praying |
[03:02.36] |
We're swimming in an ocean and it's hard to stay afloat |
[03:05.39] |
I'm sickened from the drowning so I floated to the coast |
[03:07.91] |
And then I walked upon the dock and now I'm waiting for the boat |
[03:10.62] |
I'm here to help, so here's a pair of empty shoulders |
[03:14.00] |
Let me take upon the load; ignore the fact my soul is broken |
[03:16.80] |
It's best to settle if we can't defeat the elements |
[03:19.72] |
When comfort is an easy price to pay to be irrelevant |
[03:22.62] |
So what happened? You wonder for my absence |
[03:25.47] |
My answer is pointing to the fact it's my sadness |
[03:28.13] |
And sin. I can't even manage my skin |
[03:30.67] |
To fake being intact; the scars from within |
[03:33.59] |
I needed help, badly. And pity doesn't do it |
[03:36.45] |
Nor does singing over music when your actions ain't congruent |
[03:39.19] |
I'm sorry. I love you, but it sucks that I'm so insecure |
[03:42.30] |
Even when I showed my heart,bled it out... poured |
[03:44.82] |
But I never saw yours. I never saw yours |
[03:47.60] |
I'm all grown up, yet I'm so immature |
[03:50.35] |
The nuisance it will tailor... I'm stupid with emotions |
[03:53.26] |
If this Kuya was a failure then this truth is my atonement |
[03:56.09] |
I never know the right words to say |
[03:58.63] |
I can't control myself standing face to face |
[04:02.24] |
I'm a coward so I can't just speak it all... |
[04:04.78] |
And this is why I love to write these stupid freaking songs |
[04:07.56] |
And I just want to say I freaking miss my family |
[04:10.11] |
I cherished every moment we all had of being happy |
[04:12.89] |
I wish that we could fix the petty grudges that we're holding |
[04:15.73] |
I wish that we'd forgive each other's faults before it's too late |
[04:18.57] |
But it wasn't your fault. I promise that I pray for you |
[04:21.43] |
Your memory embedded in my brain everyday for you |
[04:24.57] |
I'm here for you. I love you and I swear that's what I'm here to do |
[04:27.40] |
I'd sacrifice whatever if it makes the Gospel clear to you |
[04:30.11] |
If God would grant me peace, well then I promise I would stay for you |
[04:32.96] |
If I were called to fight for this, I promise I would train for you |
[04:35.67] |
And if the game is life or death so then I promise I would play for you |
[04:38.47] |
And even though I'm gone I freaking promise I remain for you |
[04:41.21] |
So show me where the levee is, let's sit and watch the river |
[04:44.03] |
As it flows a tranquility that softens up the pavement |
[04:46.71] |
I think the rain is coming... Wash away the heaviness |
[04:49.71] |
You'll always be a blessing to my life... you will always be Famous |
[04:54.26] |
We will always be Famous |
[04:57.18] |
You will always be Famous |
[05:00.02] |
We will always be Famous |
