[Chorus]
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?

[Verse 1]
Wanna start my life on solid ground
Try to stand up but I’m falling down
Everywhere is madness all around
Living in this forgotten town
Street signs tell me where to cross
Even though I’m feeling lost
Beat up, falling deep into the concrete like quicksand in spots
I ran across the sand and lost a shoe while crossing through the rubble
Trying to maintain my sense of balance, all I do is stumble
Now I’m in trouble, moving slow mo like a bad dream
And can’t seem to be grasping what’s going on in this sad scene
‘cause the last thing I remember made a commitment to change
No attachments or addictions, I would start on a brand new page
To let go of my troubled past and finally gain control
Then I thought about all the things in life that held me back from reaching my goals
And now I’m frozen in my tracks
Can’t make progress, can’t turn back
Stagnant with this question—why am I here? I can’t answer that
Matter fact I’ll probably be here ’til the answer’s found
Building a foundation, tryna start my life on solid ground
[Chorus]
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?

[Verse 2]
So close but so far to the end of the road
To the end that will go just to find what I need
Whatever and answer the chances for me to succeed
I will exceed all the recommended dosages to the hopelessness
And swallow the pain with a solitary pill
Momentarily filled with happiness ’til it turns back to stress
No longer can I grow stronger or prolong any of this mess
I must find that path embedded deep within the sediment
Riveted by purpose and meaning within the third eye
And I have tried so many times yet still been unsuccessful
To find when the only time I feel relief’s when I hold this pencil…
In my hand with a plan to expand to the masses
Abandon the land where I stand to surpass this
Where I’ve been stuck in with nothing to gain
Drugs and consumption to numb all the pain
Wait for the day when I’m finally free
Releasing the tension inside of me
I’ve been so pent up with anxiety
Become a new person I’ve tried to be
It’s a side of me that nobody knows
Letting my true self be exposed
Simply fulfilling my need to compose ’til the time runs out and the curtains close
[Chorus]
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
Why can’t I start my life on solid ground?
