Grey Smith - One of These Days Lyrics

One of these days
I'm gonna fly away...
Fly into the sun...
God

Send someone to get me out of here...
I'm so tired of trying to sleep
It's hard to breathe
The waters so deep, lately
I'm drowning here

I'm in the dark
I guess you
Live and learn
I'll light the way
With the fire from every bridge I ever burned

I had to learn the hard way just what life was
If you love something
Let it go
If it comes back, then
Pick a knife up

If you've never told a lie
You've never been in love
You said just be yourself
Like I ever knew who the f*ck that really was

Sure, i've got a gun
I've never tucked it in my belt
Half the guns I've ever held
I f*ckin pointed at myself
Someone else's life was always more attractive
A better life
Tryna get ahead in life felt just like moving backwards
What comes after
You sold your soul to get reactions and
Tried to get it back from God, but
When you asked
He had his back turned
To your last words
Trapped in a bathroom
Searching your foot for veins
Falling together
Falling apart
They often look the same
I took the pain and
Packed in syringes
Half of it it was masked
Beneath the blasphemy of
Asking for forgiveness
From the pastors and the women
Always laughing as they listened
To the madness of a bastard headed
Back and forth to prison
I know you forgot my voice
I hope you hear me now
I wrote these notes in case
I'm not here in a year from now
I'm tired of dreaming when I'm wide awake, and
Sayin I'm ok...
One of these days
I'm gonna fly way
