Reflections of My Perceptions
survival mode
I'm in survival mode
Relying on primal instincts as I walk through life with both eyes closed
Struggle is all I know
So I can't afford to get knocked off of my feet,
so in order to eat,I must stay upon my toes
which is why
I strive to remain humble during my highs
While maintaining my pride during my lows
So I am forever moving forward no matter which way the wind blows
Shining and glistening, I am nitro glycerin
And I don't mind you if you're listening, just don't get too close
The plot is thickening, and this is only the beginning
So I advise against trying to box me in because I just might explode
Because regardless of what direction I choose,
It seems to me, that people want to block my road
So now I am reaching for the stars, sun and moon
Like a plant ascending to heaven, I too need to grow
But many have opposed me as I have bloomed and rose
Simply because I have chosen to sew my seeds in fields the will never know
Relying on primal instincts as I walk through life with both eyes closed
Struggle is all I know
So I can't afford to get knocked off of my feet,
so in order to eat,I must stay upon my toes
which is why
I strive to remain humble during my highs
While maintaining my pride during my lows
So I am forever moving forward no matter which way the wind blows
Shining and glistening, I am nitro glycerin
And I don't mind you if you're listening, just don't get too close
The plot is thickening, and this is only the beginning
So I advise against trying to box me in because I just might explode
Because regardless of what direction I choose,
It seems to me, that people want to block my road
So now I am reaching for the stars, sun and moon
Like a plant ascending to heaven, I too need to grow
But many have opposed me as I have bloomed and rose
Simply because I have chosen to sew my seeds in fields the will never know
