Drift
The 5:55 Lyrics

I'm drifting away
I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality and drifting away from everything.

And my mind is in a daze
My mind is hazy and I can't fully focus or think straight.

Oh, my dreams are all awake
My ambitions and aspirations are alive and active, and I feel motivated.

I feel fine again
Despite my confusion, I feel at ease again.

And I'm fallin' alone
I'm descending into loneliness and isolation.

Where my heart's my only home
My emotions are the only thing keeping me grounded and comfortable.

Oh, I'll drift out on my own
I'll carry on with my journey by myself, without anyone's assistance or guidance.

I'm alright again
I'm feeling better again and I can keep moving forward.

I wish you only told me once
I regret not realizing things sooner and only being warned about them once.

Kid you gotta hide your teeth
You need to learn to guard your words and not reveal too much of yourself to others.

You gotta hold your tongue
You need to learn to refrain from speaking out of turn or being impulsive with your words.

You gotta wait for the morning Sun
You need to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to arise before making any moves.

And think on the younger days
Think about your past and the experiences that have shaped you into who you are today.

I know you only held my hand 'til I was three
I realize that I've grown up and become self-reliant, and that you're no longer responsible for me.

And when I turned 18 you cut my leash
You let go of your control over me when I became an adult and could fend for myself.

Told me I'd be fine when I get older
You reassured me that everything would sort itself out as I aged and gained more life experience.

Oh, I gotta hold my post
I need to stand firm and keep my position regardless of any difficulties that may arise.

Before I slip into the violent road and throws me in
Before I become overwhelmed and swept away by the chaos and uncertainty of life.

To the wild I hope
I hope to find my place and scavenge for a better future, instead of just drifting.

Now you gotta let me off
You need to give me freedom to live and grow on my own.

You know you let the meter run
I know that you've done everything you could for me and that it's time for me to move on.

Oh, stop and let me crawl
Slow down and let me find my footing slowly and surely, with patience.

Before you pick me up
Before you try to intervene and help me out again, take a step back and let me handle it myself.

I'm learning the right-away
I'm learning how to make my own choices and pave my own path in life.

Oh, my life is in a haze
I'm struggling to find clarity and direction in my life right now.

But my dreams are now awake
Despite my confusion, I'm feeling more motivated and driven towards my dreams than ever before.

I'm alright again
Despite everything, I'm feeling alright and able to move forward with my life.
