HIATUS
Wesley Joseph Lyrics

Look
Listen up and pay attention

I never seen hiatus
I've never experienced a break or pause

Hoping the plan don't stray
I hope my goals and aspirations stay on track

No way I been raising
I have been constantly pushing myself

The bar so high so long
Setting my standards and expectations extremely high for a long time

Like why am I waiting?
Questioning why I'm delaying or hesitating

When I'm resembling who?
Trying to figure out who I am trying to be like

Look around and it feel so spacious
Observing my surroundings and feeling a sense of freedom

And it's outrageous
It's incredibly surprising or shocking

Cause I miss when the air felt clean
I long for a time when everything felt pure and untainted

And my eyes weren't tainted
When my perspective was not influenced negatively

Sitting on the 997 route gazing
Reflecting while sitting on a specific bus route

I can feel me worn down and running out of patience
I sense myself becoming tired and losing patience

Small town mentality becoming more blatant
The close-mindedness of a small town becoming more obvious

Listen too much, It can start to get dangerous
Being overly influenced by others' opinions can be harmful

Suck you in, Spit you out in the matrix
Entrapping and then abandoning you in a complex and confusing world

Time here ain't nothing that you should play with
Time is valuable and should not be wasted

Looking at guys but your face is sedated
Interacting with emotionless or disconnected individuals

The bleak turned blue but my dreams stay arranged in
Despite hardships, my dreams remain organized and intact

All of these tunes in the basement
Having many unfinished songs or ideas

Came a long way from Walks in the rain and talks in the same vein
Progressing from simple activities and conversations to more complex ones

Battling my demons a day late
Struggling with personal issues, slightly delayed

Don't speak unless its something I believe in
Choosing to only express opinions or thoughts if I truly believe in them

Don't waste the air that you breathing
Use your breath wisely, don't waste it on meaningless words

Young me heard the loudest voices, Egos creeping
When I was younger, I was influenced by self-centered individuals

It's changed now its something different
The situation or environment has evolved into something new

But I'm still bleeding
Despite the changes, I'm still hurting or feeling pain

This ain't no love, this ain't no time to see me
This is not a time for affection or focusing on me

Nothing lost when the feelings gone
When the emotions fade, there is no loss

So just say no more
Stop saying or expressing anything further

Can't feel the pain no more
I have become numb to the pain

Watch when you see me
Pay attention to me when you encounter me

Believe me
Trust what I'm saying

Until I sing no more
Until I stop expressing myself through music

Now that the air feels clean and my eyes ain't tainted
Currently experiencing a sense of purity and clarity

More to lose than I ever had taken
Having greater potential losses than what I have previously gained

Cold place when your fate forsaken
Feeling abandoned or neglected by destiny

To think back then I used to wake up shaking
Reflecting on a time when I had intense anxiety upon waking up

Like wine how the vision been ageing
My perspective has matured and developed over time, like fine wine

I seen time fly and a bit of me changing
Witnessing the passing of time and some personal growth

My eyes still bigger than my belly I'm taking
Having ambitious goals and aspirations

Everything, any how, any way
Willing to do anything to achieve those goals

Remember them days
Recalling and cherishing past memories

Dad ringing, ask if I ate, same time around about eight
My father calling to check if I've eaten, usually around 8 PM

But nowadays, Touch new sides of the globe
Currently exploring new places and experiences

When I land send pics of my plate
Sharing photos of meals from different locations

Just picking up pace, Hoping I never slow down
Increasing my speed and momentum, and hoping to maintain it

To be real I can't see no way
Honestly, I can't envision any other path

Yeah they never been safe, Throw stone, but they hide face
They've never been in a secure position; criticizing others from a place of anonymity

It's a new phase but they won't say
Although it's a new chapter, they refuse to acknowledge it

So long feeling navy
Bid farewell to feeling gloomy or down

Call up on me lately
Recently, I've been receiving calls or attention

Stray looks in the same way
Receiving glances or attention that is not ideal

So long for me
It's been a long time for me

So long, for me, so long
A prolonged period of time has passed

It's all up to me lately
Recently, the responsibility lies solely with me

So long feeling navy
Saying goodbye to feeling down or depressed
