[Intro: Tay Zonday]
You need to move forward
Do you hear me?

You need to move forward
That is the main thing

You need to move forward with your life

[Verse 1: MikelWJ]
Plug me in and tell me if you notice a difference
I was painting one picture but living a different image
And now I'm feeling stronger like Popeye’s eaten his spinach
So point me in the right direction now so I'll finish
It's stupid how I let myself get used and put last
I’ll let them throw me out like I was yesterday's trash
But if you look at me now, all that I do is a blast
Because I made a living, just talking about my past
Sorry if you notice, I know you're gonna notice
So please just hate the mood, you don't need to hate the poet
But shit changed
I was lost and couldn't get out
I found myself alone in my room wearing a pout
I would open my mouth, because I just want to shout
And expel all these murderous feelings of self doubt
So if you don't like change, then I'm sorry it's here
Now it’s time I get to work building a rocket this year
[Chorus: MikelWJ]
Its been a hell of a trip, and I’ve seen masses of shit
It took a half year to get myself up out of a pit
I was losing my grip, and all my thoughts became manic
I was doing my best to not be in public and panic

Its been a hell of a trip, and I've seen masses of shit
It took a half year to get myself up out of a pit
I was losing my grip, and all my thoughts became manic
I was doing my best to not be in public and panic
Like

[Verse 2: MikelWJ]
Allow me just a second to introduce myself
My name is Mikel, now take a second to lose yourself
Tap your foot to the rhythm, find yourself in the beat
Hear all of the lyrics to let your brain and heart meet

I’ve got the swag of a child, I've got the class of a gent
I used to drink on the daily
But then I quit like it's lent
Half of my friends here are smokers, half either pop pills or drink
Thats why I'm working alone, cause I don’t need that to think

I'll start with a blank page and I tear the shit apart
With the strength of a red dwarf star within my heart
As the black hole within my soul finds the beat
I write with stress and hate, but find my mind at peace
All the words that I speak form a constellation
Only visible if you can hear the sound's vibration
Thoughts racing as I find my concentration
But I'll never cut to short like an abbreviation
[Chorus: MikelWJ]
Its been a hell of a trip, and I've seen masses of shit
It took a half year to get myself up out of a pit
I was losing my grip, and all my thoughts became manic
I was doing my best to not be in public and panic

Its been a hell of a trip, and I've seen masses of shit
It took a half year to get myself up out of a pit
I was losing my grip, and all my thoughts became manic
I was doing my best to not be in public and panic

[Verse 3: MikelWJ]
The popular people be saying "he's kinda cute"
The outcasts are nodding since they know the pain too
The people who doubted don't look like they have a clue
And I'm wondering why I'm feeling like this still dude
You can't stand for a sin if you were always a sinner
You see the, plot thickens as my blood boils thinner
And I've been, losing sleep
Choosing bites over dinner
While my best friend runs around and feels like a winner
Tell me, how did I slip into this bottomless pit
A place where all my monsters and demons and throwing fits
A place where everything I'm seeing is black and white
A place where you're never gonna get a good sleep at night
And I've been looking to the mirror for a helping hand
Since it's the only face I know won't stab my back again
And if I'm wrong, then tell me where my path will end
Since these monsters and angels are on my back again
[Chorus: MikelWJ]
Its been a hell of a trip, and I've seen masses of shit
It took me half a year to get myself up out of a pit
I was losing my grip, and all my thoughts became manic
I was doing my best to not be in public and panic

Its been a hell of a trip, and I've seen masses of shit
It took me half a year to get myself up out of a pit
I was losing my grip, and all my thoughts became manic
I was doing my best to not be in public and panic
