Near an Open Flame - Drift Lyrics

It's not about where you've been and who you are it's about where you're going
A mind left in the past is rotten with depression
A soul drifting in the future is riddled with anxiety

Just live in the moment while it appears that everyone and everything around you is the competition the battle's in your head
And if I asked you to name all the things that you love
How long would it take to name yourself and let go of the life you once held so close
It isn't up to anyone but you to fight back
Get up now
Hold those virtues tight in your hands like you'll lose them tomorrow

Just live in the moment while it appears that everyone and everything around you is the competition the battle's in your head
Your state of mind is control beyond your reach
What you decide depends on the way you dream
The antidote

You can't keep asking yourself if you were to set the things you dream about in motion would you finally find that inner peace you've sought for years
Because nothing divides our paths like the memories of the past
Excuses are nothing but a burden
While inspiration and optimism are the band-aids to your wounds
Wherever you are looking back is not an option
It's our memories that haunt us
Don't worry about what's to come
Just focus on what means something to you right now
At this moment in time

Just live in the moment
What is right will be held
What you feel you attract
What you imagine you create
What's up to you is the rest

Just live in the moment while it appears that everyone and everything around you is the competition the battle's in your head
