Cloudy Skies - Hardships of the Common World Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ride ride ride ride ride
Hey hey hey hey
Cloudy cloudy cloudy cloudy
Cloudy Skies
In this world
I feel the stir
Of a thousand lifetimes (Lifetimes)
And I only have myself to lean on (Lean on)
So I stand here at this crossroads
Will I strive or die
Lost in my mind and again I can’t find
What it means to seem to grow
I’m just sitting here
And I’ve got nothing left for me to show
Cuz I thought I could run
But now I feel I’ve lost my self
Now I’m standing here
And I'm wondering where I’ve gots to go
And I’m up in the air
Is this flight or fall
Is it my time to leave or is it just my time to go
There’s an emptiness inside
And now it’s myself I can’t find
Is it mine or is this something all foretold
If this is a dream I want to wake up and let go
Strive to be of no mind, no rebirth, and no soul
There’s too much spinning all out of my control
All my memories of you have broken my resolve
Whether I’m hungry
Or I'm cold
There’s always more and more and more and more before
But, still I work and work; and work
And still I’m needing more money
This game is rigged
Just let me go (Let me go)
In this vast emptiness
I feel how small my value is
It leaves me feeling so damn worthless
This game is rigged
Just let me go
Let me go, let me go (Let me go)
Lost in my mind and I again can’t find
What it means to just let go
How many times did you think you could climb out
But just couldn’t go anymore
And now I’m stuck here
I've got this fear
This feeling of living in woe
But I try to forget it all, look up high
Keep striving for more
This is the guide to decide
Wherever I lie when I land ashore
How many times did I believe I would find it
In this life all those times before
I’m living life blind and I’ll have to decide
My way if I’m going to have to let go
This is the end and the gods will proceed
And I’m swept up in the undertow
Thoughts of those deceased
Memories of leaving you and regrets are my disease
Everyday I try to scrub away what was
But the chills run down my bones
When I think of how badly
I messed up, I messed up
I fell apart
To my nature; unrefined
I lost my mind
Fell into darkness
Tumbled, snapped
Kiss, bliss
My world eclipsed
Self destruction, can't resist
Feeling lost in this vastness
Nothing loved
All passions
Vanquished
Only silence
With an awareness
Of everyone else's bliss
But every time I feel
Empty, muted, and dismissed
I want to find a reason to be alive
Cuz the gods won't let me die
I start drifting in my thoughts
All those unique times I let pass me by
And I try to be whole
But the hole in my soul
It's got a hold
And not letting go
But then I fold
And then I give into to the cold
That's all I'm shown, forced to atone
And then I must dethrone
The mold that has grown
Leaving me to be so alone, so alone
Just let me go
Lost in my mind and again I can’t find
What it means to just let go
How many times did you think you could climb out
But just couldn’t go anymore
And now I’m stuck here and I got this fear
This feeling of living in woe
But I try to forget it all, look up high
Keep striving for more
This is the guide to decide
Wherever I lie when I land ashore
How many times did I believe I would find
What it was like in those times before
I’m living life blind and I’ll have to decide
My way if I’m gonna let go
This is the end and the gods will proceed
And I’m swept up in the undertow
Then when I remain
To renew I will reclaim
The way that I saw with my mind
My heart, my souls, my eyes
And wait for another change
Just recite this mantra with
No restrain
And just let go
Keep repeating
This refrain
All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood
In a modest town where honest people dwell
Making the cleanest energy for the greenest plants to grow
In the richest soil that is drenched with the freshest rain
All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood
In a modest town where honest people dwell
Making the cleanest energy for the greenest plants to grow
In the richest soil that is drenched with the freshest

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ride ride ride ride ride
Hey hey hey hey
Cloudy cloudy cloudy cloudy
Cloudy Skies
