This is a rough track of a song that means a lot to me. I wrote this from my mom who passed away on February 6, 2024. This was one of the hardest songs that I ever had to write. My mom apologized to me profusely for having put me through things in life that I probably shouldn’t have gone through. The most challenging part of all this is she did the best that she could with what she had. So I didn’t really fault her. I didn’t know that I was not planning on releasing this track unless she was no longer alive because I didn’t wanna hurt her feelings. It seems like a lot of the time we as human beings seek family if our family is dysfunctional or messed up or whatever. I wrote this as a response of trying to be able to be normal after having lived a life that was completely abnormal. But I was definitely trying to put some replacements or surrogates into my life that would be healthy. This was also my way of being able to say that I break the cycle. I didn’t want my family to have to have the same struggles that I did, which is why I’ve sacrificed so much to be able to give them the emotional mental financial well-being that they deserve. This will likely be a hidden track on my album somewhere, but it will be available for download for free. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics
Verse I
Can you draw me from my wounds
These lines become sand
Can a tree lose its roots
Is it strong enough to stand
The world loses balance
Spinning on its end
This work of art, an inactive part
Of a canvas that just is
Chorus
So I run away
Nothing more you can change
But will you remember me
The further I get
The further I get
Verse II
Can this water replace
The things I was but I ain’t
Can we forget what we see
Relate to what we need
Life give second chances, will luck be on our side
The stance we take
Is the bonds we may break
Are the shadows where we hide
To chorus
Bridge
It ends with me, this ambiguity
Said you’d always be there
But you were lying to me
I hope you’re aware
I needed care
Insecurity ruled me
Chorus
Outro
The further I get
The further I get
The further I get
