It's Been A While

[ Intro x2 ]
It's been a while since, It's been a while since,
It's been a while since y'all heard my voice.

[ Verse 1 ]
It's been a while since I've been on a track,
That's because my soul became solely abstract,
I remained in my own darkness while sadly intact,
I've been gone too long, but now I'm finally back,
It's been a while since someone wiped my tears,
I refuse to break down with these futile fears,
With these watery eyes my vision's still clear,
Even if I fall down without any help near,
It's been a while since the last time I fell in love,
A shattered broken heart to me is plentiful enough,
My heart no longer beats, I've bled all my blood,
And the love I could give has now drowned in the flood.
It's been a while since my last thoughts of suicide,
'Cause I finally found the reason for living my life,
I walk forward slowly with the future in sight,
Alive outside, but soulless inside.

[ Chorus x2 ]
Though time has passed by through the sights of our eyes,
We must live every day without a certain demise,
Put all the sadness, pain and struggle aside,
And try to find the bright sunshine in your life.

[ Verse 2 ]
It's been a while since I've been truly blessed,
Why would I anyway with numerous pains in my chest?
Remember these words: Life is a quest,
We're all in search of this one thing we call the best,
It's been a while since I knew and had a best friend,
Could this finally be the end of a lonely man?
Anxiety's the common state I trend and tend to apprehend,
And insomnia keeps me wide awake to a late extent,
It's been a while since I had a reason to smile,
There's nothing else left to do that's worth my while,
If you take my 9's and walked a few couple miles,
You would understand why I'm widely versatile,
It's been a while since the last time I felt good,
Disappear forever? Shit, I don't know how I would,
Fuck, I gotta make sure and wonder if I really should,
So many various feelings; I'm misunderstood.

[ Chorus x2 ]
Though time has passed by through the sights of our eyes,
We must live every day without a certain demise,
Put all the sadness, pain and struggle aside,
And try to find the bright sunshine in your life.

[ Verse 3 ]
It's been a while since I lost my only soul,
And the stroll has been done on a lonely road,
As long as I'm alone and grown, I know I'm in control,
Of the outcome of things that will one day unfold,
It's been a while since I flew and felt really high,
And I broke every bone as I fell from the sky,
Distinguished in anguish, all I do is sigh,
And when I meet my sorrows, I have the urge to cry,
It's been a while since my past visit in hell,
I was painfully burnt the last time I fell,
As I rose from the ashes, I dwell and swell
Because I know I'm free but stuck life's jail cell,
It's been a while since I've asked a question,
I'll repress and regress in my own depression,
I'm oppressed and aggressed in my own obsession,
My confessions are revealed through my expressions.

[ Chorus x4 ]
Though time has passed by through the sights of our eyes,
We must live every day without a certain demise,
Put all the sadness, pain and struggle aside,
And try to find the bright sunshine in your life.
