Searching for you
Searching for you

For so many years
I been struggling
fighting this battle
searching out for my enemy
as he hides in the shadows
poison me, cloud my vision
can't keep my eyes on the sparrow
mama been telling me since
I was young that I was a pharaoh, but I
feel like slave, so isolated and caged
as I, feel up with rage
I'd rather pull out the gauge
I'm so, passive aggressive
wish I was half as expressive
as all of my peers
but i'm lost in my fear
oh lord
I'm sick of playing the victim
sick of blaming the system
sick of dreaming debating hoping
waiting and wishing
for things to change
waiting for perfect
perfect never came
me and my enemy the same
in the mirror

we all the same in the mirror
cant hide your pain in the mirror
enemy came in the mirror
and I was calling for help

chorus

Is there a God?
If there is, I'm calling
Searching for you (2x)

As I stare into this mirror
my eyes illuminated
cause for the first time
I see who i was truly hating
all of this time
you wasn't hiding from me
you was laughing in my face
what was i becoming?
I see the truth shown
I see the roof's gone
and I done learned that
what I reap, sewn
I see the wolf
inside the sheep's clothes
all of this time that I was
blaming her
blaming him
blame the Devil
blame my kin
all this time i'm
blaming them and
so easily never taking responsibility
looking inside my inner me
finally found the enemy
the mirror
looking inside the mirror
image is getting clearer
mental is getting purer
feel the change in my attitude
for everybody I blamed
now there is gratitude
loving what I see in this mirror
smiling back at you
that procrastination before
gave me battle wounds
but now
I'm back in tune

chorus

bridge

only I can stop my dreams
my only enemy is myself
I look to the sky and I scream
more than ever need God's help (2x)

My childhood was wholesome
but somehow became lonesome
and I was longing
for something more
but something more
don't just show up at ya door
didn't wanna hustle for it
my desire premature
but the struggle made me
desire more
till my desire
poured out my pores
and I was all for it
and I was asking God for help
God said I had the power
all within myself

Searching for you
