[Hook]
I'm startin' to just believe what they told me
There's a big gap between the new and the old me
If I can't control things then I gotta let 'em slide
If I can then I gotta get 'em right
I woke up early to ensure my place
And saw a house full of signs when they saw my face
But if I should die before I wake
Then let the next night restore my faith, restore my faith
[Verse 1]
Is this what I wanna be?
If I said I'm livin' life properly
I may as well just kiss goodbye honesty
I look back and smile on the sh** that I wanna be
And what I'd do to anybody if they tried stoppin' me
The difference [?] either wanna spit or buy property
Are mutually exclusive, now the sh**'s a dichotomy
Hard to play it straight with a twisted psychology
We're really all the same, just got different priorities
For all the things for all the things we needa do to get the money we pursue
We focus on the cake but we might never eat it to
So go ahead, ask aloud "What would Jesus do?"
And have faith, that's great, does anyone believe in you?
I can honestly say some people do for me
And I appreciate it to the d**h, but truthfully
I can't help but keep thinking maybe they shouldn't
If they knew me well enough, well then I say that they wouldn't
For real

[Verse 2]
I get it when people say to live each day to the fullest
You never know when circumstances put your name on a bullet
But even though it's never intended, your hopes and dreams
Can become Barry Hall and just keep gettin' suspended
Forget the rose-coloured gla**es that I see through
Was terrifed of failure, now I'm scared to succeed too
Wolf gotta k** you before anyone believes you
Or maybe I don't care as much as everybody seems to
I can't make on demand
I'm just hopin' the suggestion of the promise land it came from an honest man
If this isn't what I am, when the f** I make it up?
Why the things I seem to want the most I'm afraid to touch
Every day little sh** starts to be the major stuff
I should quit gettin' f**ed up, but I ain't brave enough
If I ain't k**in' me it's makin' me stronger
Bullsh**, still k**in' me just takes a bit longer
[Hook]
I'm startin' to just believe what they told me
There's a big gap between the new and the old me
If I can't control things then I gotta let 'em slide
If I can then I gotta get 'em right

Then let the next night restore my faith, restore my faith
[Verse 3]
I could take poll positions at a blistering pace
But willpower alone won't let me finish the race
At the peak of our intellegence we speak about settlement
You need a basecamp before reaching Mount Everest
Regardless of how close you are
And the smoke and tar you gotta swallow, there's still no cigar
You're left open when you show your scars
And when it's all off your chest it's easier to get a broken heart
So you gotta slow that charge, not flow that bar
Sometimes it's better not to show that card
Sometimes you can't go that hard
Sometimes even Jamie Durie gotta look after his own backyard
So I show you some profound line, but do it all without shine
So when they talk about Prime it's probably the outside
I was lookin' for my talent and I found mine
But even the most gifted life can have a downside

Then let the next night restore my faith, restore my faith
