Balance
Brandon Banks Umi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just don't wanna have regrets
Take everything that I said
Twist and turn, you do
Twist and turn away, you do
(Free mind)
You say you got a free mind
(Free mind)
Wishin' we could rewind
(No man)
Time don't wait for no man, no man
I′m only human, I′m just a nuisance, why do I exist?
I only destroy, I need some balance, I wanna make sense
I need to create, trying to breed life, don't wanna ignite
Don′t wanna ignite
I need a peace of mind
Find ways to give me a piece of their mind
Late to the afterlife
Say it to the voices you left behind
And I just want war to end
Pray for forgiveness, and
Pray to forgive my sins
Hope to be free again someday, and so we
Turn to life, you lost the light within
Roll the dice
But hope it all would end
And shelter in a world that's cavin′ in
Only you, and so
High, open my eyes
And see the balance in everything
(Balance in everything)
Balance in everything
(Balance in everything)
I'm only human
I′m just a nuisance
Why do I exist?
I only destroy
I need some balance
I wanna make sense
(I need) I need to create
Trying to breed life
Don't wanna ignite
Don't wanna ignite
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I′m only human
I′m just a nuisance
Why do I exist?
I only destroy
I need some balance
I wanna make sense
I need to create
Trying to breed life, don't wanna ignite
Don′t wanna ignite
Don't wanna ignite
