Lonnie Szoke - Case of the Blues lyrics

[Verse 1] I tell you man, this life is crazy The struggle is hard, success is amazing The cycle don't stop, goals keep changing Then utlimate success, is happiness (ain't it?) So I find happiness in my sorrows, ain't it the same thing? The pain is colourful, a beautiful (pain-ting) True beauty's on the inside so character is everything Used to live life, on the fast lane man Short-lived, burnout, devastation So now I, stop at the red and go on (amber, green) Still got dreams of pushing (lambourgheens) But it seems I gotta revamp my scheme Striving forward but feeling like I am standing still Asking God, please hand me will In hindsight, I understand he will Get my mind right, the way I define right Might sound like, I am so down right But the ideal life is based on what you feel like So go ahead escape, (fulfill life)... Chorus (x2) I am trynna let the past be And the future is past me So I am trynna live in the (present) Cause every moment is a blessing... [Verse 2] Nowadays happiness is a rare commodity Funny, cause it's found within you and me But we look for it somewhere else externally Then you wonder why it's only there temporarily Right after this thought, where will my next dollar be? Huh, so much for practicing what you preach But I'm only human both saint and sinner down beneath Once upon a time a (King, a winner,) Now simply a peasant roaming the streets Every pain you inflict, you'll feel eventually Shed tears cause' you're paralyzed mentally And a pair of eyes won't help you foresee this Cause when you're in paradise you only see bliss You pop placebos hoping you don't feel it You feel like you got something to prove, a statement of (thesis) You're in denial so in a sense you believe it Until you fall right below ocean's surface Then you beg God for innoncence of a fetus Ask forgiveness for all your sins and mean it Try to break this cycle of ego and humility One moment I feel like Michael, the next like Guruji Losing my mind trynna find stability Let it go man...just breathe... Just (breathe)...(damped echo) Just (breathe)...(damped echo) Just (breathe)...(damped echo) Just (breathe)...(attenuated echo) Simplest thing you can do man... Chorus (x2) I am trynna let the past be And the future is past me So I am trynna live in the (present) Cause every moment is a blessing...
