Lifted
Parker Bossley Lyrics

Beg, steal or borrow
Desperate for more time, we'll do whatever it takes

Time from tomorrow
Stealing from our future by wasting our time today

We bleed these days
Our current circumstances are draining us of our vitality

We bleed these days away
Our days are passing by aimlessly, without direction or purpose

Rise to the bottom
Descending to new lows instead of climbing to higher heights

Smoke if you got 'em
Indulging in short-term pleasures for the sake of escapism

We dream these days
Our hopes and aspirations are becoming more unrealistic and detached from reality

We dream these days away
Our days are spent drifting aimlessly, focused on our dreams instead of making them a reality

Call my friends when I'm in trouble
Our peer group shares our struggles and is a source of comfort

They all feel the same
Our friends are going through similar challenges in life as we are

We just wanna get lifted
We're seeking a way to escape our current reality and feel something different

Okay with doin' it the wrong way (wrong way)
We're willing to take shortcuts and engage in self-destructive behavior to achieve our sense of 'lifted-ness'

Away and float into a new day (new day)
We crave a fresh start and a new perspective on life

Woke up with the bottle
Our reliance on alcohol and other substances is becoming a daily habit

Empty and hollow
We're emotionally bankrupt and unfulfilled, despite our attempts to numb ourselves with substances or distractions

I sleep these days
Rather than engaging with life, we're disengaging and sleeping our days away

I sleep these days away (I sleep these days away)
We're intentionally avoiding life's challenges by retreating into sleep and apathy

Is this feelin' free
We question whether our attempts to escape are truly liberating us, or just perpetuating our cycle of pain and addiction

Is this what I need?
We're unsure whether our coping mechanisms are helping or hurting us in the long run

Well, I don't know
We lack clarity and direction in life, and are just drifting without purpose

So I'll just float away (I'll just float away)
We're resigned to our current state and are content to continue drifting without making changes or taking responsibility

How high you gotta be to get to heaven?
We're questioning whether there is any way to achieve genuine happiness or fulfillment in life

How far you gotta go to feel like home?
We've lost our sense of belonging and identity in life, and are searching for a place to call our own

I know some days can drag you if you let 'em
We're aware that our circumstances can bring us down, but feel powerless to change them

When all we gotta do is let it go
We recognize that sometimes the best course of action is to surrender control and let life unfold on its own

Lifted
We want to experience a higher state of consciousness and transcend our mundane reality
