Skylines look candy coated in my rear view mirror
Kaleidoscopic visions Portra burned into my memory
As I left my home town everything was vivid
Wish I could frame the moment
Like a Kodak picture
1am I'm zoning I'll call you in a moment
Please don't hit decline
When no one else was for you
I let you bang my line
And everybody knows it
Reminisce on times
When all I felt was hopeless

I'm a rebel with a cause
Momma pray for all my dogs
Hell is hot and Death is long
So I'm trying to balance wrongs
Even if I was to fall
Promise wouldn't be too far
Through it all I carry on

Thought I found what I need
Small lost soul searching for anything
Did a bunch of drugs hoping epiphany
Would put things in line help me fall into me
And stop judging myself
Whole what I dug figure love sorta helped
So loves what I held oh so close
And the boy went and felt
The cold cold turf
Falling head over heels
Couldn't tell what was real
See the ashes in the mirror
When it all burned down
And the void was still here
Know my head wasn't clear
Dumb numb was the feel
Dumb drunk in the field
So close on the heels
Of my goals and the leer
Of it all interfered
The most purposeful still
Self love is a gradual skill

Now I'm thankful that that car crash didn't take me
Phoenix rising from the ashes on the pavement
What to do when you've traded everything you've laid with?
For something so uncertain
Trying to close the curtains
Finally found a purpose
And I feel more secure
Hanging off the ledge
Than waiting for more

1-45 ride for the night
Need to take a drive
Need to clear my mind

I'm a rebel with a cause
Momma pray for all my dogs
Hell is hot and Death is long
So I'm trying to balance wrongs
Even if I was to fall
Promise wouldn't be too far
Through it all I carry on
