What Becomes of Us

Words fail me trying to convey, the right thing to say

But they're written in the lines on my face

They're like a road map to show you the way

No tomorrow if there's no today

'Cause time will take all we've left, we've only now

So fly away, hold your breath and don't look down

What becomes of us? if our mistakes are the sum of us

Missing all the beauty right in front of us

Here we are, our pride got a hold of us

One road too far, our past blindfolding us

Here we are, our world in front of us

If we lose our path, then what becomes of us?

Every road of my life, I've had to build across a broken divide

Cornered animals only know how to fight

So why's it feel like for winning every argument, I lose a little part of us

If I concede that I could be the feud within this partnership

Then I don't know where I stand

Maybe lately I been focused on my own just trying to broker a plan

If everything's left unspoken then I know that we're damned

And we'll keep drowning with this weight tied to both of our hands

But don't mistake my silence for my withdraw

Cause only people caught inside a war say it's worth fighting for

If this encompasses us, what becomes of us?

Missing all the beauty right in front of us

Here we are, our pride got a hold of us

One road too far, our past blindfolding us

Here we are, our world in front of us

If we lose our path, then what becomes of us?

Asked a friend a question, said

How much do you drink at night? 'Cause that's how much I spill

I tried to drown my demons, but my demons they grew gills

I feel I have no chill but don't want my heart to give 'cause

I'm a father and I've got two other hearts to live for

Frida said 'Viva La Vida', I'ma meet her

On the other side and fall at her feet I've

Never heard such good advice, not here to pass the time

I'm here to map a story on my face with laughter lines, right?

We can't see the path sometimes 'cause of our busy lives

Like we can't see the stars at night 'cause of the city lights

I need to step away and find my balance

Redecorate my mind palace

My, my Alice, I went down the rabbit-hole

To find my sadness, and crush it like it's Adderall

I mind my manners, and try to be kind

When I find my answers, I'm going to be fine

Here we are, our pride got a hold of us

One road too far, our past blindfolding us

Here we are, our world in front of us

If we lose our path, then what becomes of us?
