[Intro]
[Verse 1: Kev Sez]
Skyline pops midnight, side sitting a bus ride
Ticket paid, hard intent, scanning for a welcome hand
I got long arms but no reach, I can't find the current
Drowning in the spiral, wondering if it was worth it
Thinking back to the souls that I had left behind, set aside
Can't tell if I'm making progress or riding to die
Ballad of the Almost Family Man, set in sea tones
I hadn't spoken lovely since the last time I had been clothed
In folds of violet, soul becoming violent
Had to leave it all behind, silence behind the eyelids
Sedatives, backstroking through the memories
Fingering the pill container, black birds and mammaries
No chance at funerals, I smoke another coffin nail
Wrapping in black, back turned to effigies we set sail
But pain is perception, the past intentions sweat out
So I'll keep walking the path I found myself on when I set out
[Hook: Kev Sez & Kristoff Krane]
This is the first attempt at a second chance I never thought I'd get (x4)
[Verse 2: Kristoff Krane]
At seventeen I started spinnin'
Out of control, then lost connection with the inner vision
The vision within so vivid back when we were kids
Until we were convinced that being different was some sort of sin
Wanted so bad to fit in, desired to be a cool kid
Environment was conducive to hierarchy
The influence of others I believed to be higher than me made me do it
I'm tired and trying to sleep, wide awake, dying
Thinking that if in their eyes they could see me for exactly who I was
I wouldn't have to try to hard to be somebody they could love
But to appreciate a scar you've got to learn to feel the cut
Remember that you're made of stars and all it takes it looking up
But it wasn't enough to heal 'cause I guess I needed
Four and a half months away from family and friends to find true meaning
I've always had all the love and support I ever needed
Not being able to see them finally helped me see it
[Bridge: Kev Sez & Kristoff Krane]
This is the first attempt at a second chance I always knew I'd get
Now that I got it I'm gonna do something positive
Honest, remaining modest, I promise to learn and live
[Bridge: Kev Sez]
This is the first attempt at a second chance I always knew I'd get
And here I am understanding the spiral's concurrent with movement
And a lifestyle's conducive to progress if you induce it
Cause once you find the map, I don't think you'll ever lose it
[Bridge: Kristoff Krane]
This is the first attempt at a second chance I always knew I'd get
There's no regret, for with each step I understand that I am blessed
The air is fresh, the world is new like I just got pushed out the womb
Larva bloom from dark cocoon, now bu*terfly, the sky is blue
[Hook: Kev Sez & Kristoff Krane]
This is the first attempt at a second chance I knew I'd always get (x3)
Now that we got it we gotta do something positive
Honest, remaining modest, we promise to learn and live
