Otherside (Dedicated to Brian Dagle)

[Verse 1] Birthed into existence, young but fallen victim To a life so corrupt, buried deep inside a system And everybody's leaving it, or still trying to get out Living on a dangerous edge, hoping to fall down A lucky few can leave this world, taken by their health Others have to wait, or just end it all themselves That bright light of happiness burns peaceful when it shines Is this all real, or a fabrication of the mind? I don't even know, anymore I'm trying to find What I'm looking for in life, while I grind This is my life, but I don't have the time To start being happy before I reach the other side But when I get there, then I'll know When I achieve it, then I'll go And never turn around until I'm sure the curtains closed Cuz really this is all I hold Dear and close to my heart And nothing will ever stop my from living among the stars I'm about to cross over, I can hear the waking calls I can hear the soft voices telling me to just fall They make me feel great Like I'm a hundred feet tall And I promise you I will be, at the end of it all [Verse 2] So it's the Earth, and the Sea Different words to set you free Smoke some herb and clear your mind Never hurt though, let it be I can't tell you how to feel, I can't tell you what to see But I'll give you little guidance, and really that's the key We should find our happy place, maybe that's how we win the race We call life, day and night, everyone's got a different pace Everyone's got a different face, everyone's got a different plate That gets filled with different food, as we live in different ways We all got shoes to walk away And everyone has another cheek Just waiting to be turned so that they never see you weep Or so you never seem weak, when you're facing such defeat How the fuck else can we ever really reach our dreams? So we sit back and repress it Mostly past and present Trying to figure out the future 'fore it hits us like a zeppelin Escape into a world where nothing else exists Leaving this behind, like it doesn't mean shit Cuz it treats us as that Nothing else makes many any sense Why the fuck should we stay a second longer if we can? Just make it go away with a snap and a clap The flick of a wheel and a spark to ignite the gas [Outro] I dedicate this song to Brian Dagle Rest in peace I remember...when I first started putting my music up He heard it, and he texted my brother, and I don't remember what he said But, it made me feel like I could do this And I'll never forget that And he will always be missed. We love you Brian
