lyrics

Try and Stop This
Nick Riley (guest vocals by Damon Geddins - verses 3 & 4)


V1: I'm carryin' every single meaningful thing inside of my hand, the people I love, the enemies that I couldn't stand, the faith I'm desperate to keep, the person I'm desperate to be, the seemingly intangible dreams that are burning a hole in my sleeves, and I'm a 100% ready to care about, Something bigger than than the petty problems I can't figure out, a reason why, I been lookin' down on myself... Well guess what? There's no one standin' in front of me now,

V2: I see the light, I see a burning hole in the night sky, So beautiful I fall on my face and cry out, Who is He, who created the splendor that I've neglected? I'm disgusted with livin' life with autopilot selected, I keep messin' up, but I will never let you discourage me, This track is for every kid who leavin' a legacy, and for those turnin' your noses up it's time to get your act together, don't be a victim of wasting your life,
it gets better.


Chorus:
You and try and stop this, all you want, but you can't runaway forever, Sooner or later you're gonna have to face the music, face the music,
I'm not invincible, but I am sure of one thing, sure of one thing, I'll be the first to admit everything I am...


Poin Dexter - Damon Geddins (v. 3-4)

V3: Now when my life flashes before my eyes,
I wanna look proud, not turn away,
I never wanna feel my soul burn away so I
Save for tomorrow what I earn today,
In death and concern as we turnin' grey, but it
Lurks as the night time turn to day,
The time move with an urgent stray so I
Live and learn 'till it's my turn to decay,
I live and learn 'till it's my turn to pay,
The price that is paid at the end of the show,
Tear drops from the eyes of my kin to the floor,
But the memories that will stay within only grow,
And the memories that will stay within only show,
Everything I was, my intentions and mo', the
Most I can be what I've been from the go and the
Size of my heart very simple to show...

V4: It's simple to gloat,
My time on earth is the rent that I owe so I
Pay my dues and I slay my rues and I
Do every single thing I say I do,
If you a comrade, imma stay by you,
Can't forget the good times like deja-vu,
Real since birth, gotta stay by truth,
In the end they will never say I swayed my couth,
Day by day imma make my moves and
Leave my fingerprints on the surface,
They don't know it 'till they gone, it's worth it,
Life's great in the zone with purpose,
So I owe my purchase,
While I'm paying what I owe, it's perfect,
Much drifting, uplifting,
Live it up or your hopes is worthless.

Chorus

V5: Not a perfect man, Not a perfect son,
I’m often apologetic when push comes to shove,
I’m Not a hustler, So much more than that…
I am a an eagle without anyone to hold me back.
Because the love I have, is not a selfish act,
Even when I’m conflicted, I’m uplifted by the fact,
That me of all people was blessed enough to flip the tracks that maybe mean somebody else can know the facts…
