Текст песни Format - The Emsee

The last 365's really messing with my mind
Few highs, few lows, few lows and few highs
Never-ending cycle, can I get a hold of it?
Something new happens and I lose all control of it
I'm trying to let go of it, remain optimistic
Recite in October but my mind's still conflicted
I'm having trouble putting my faith in religion
When people's lives are taken when they just started living
Hard to stay focused

Now when my boy lost his mom with less than a year's notice
So in the same decade he lost his father and his mother
He's in my thoughts and so is his younger brother
Trying to move forward
Can't pick a direction
Everything that's happened has altered my perspective

I hit the restart button, make a record for the man in the mirror
These are Matthew's reflections

Fourth chapters in a story of Matt
I needed a fresh start, I needed a format
It's too personal when I record tracks
It wasn't written for you, it was written for Matt
It's not a concept, it's my life
These are all the things I think about at night
Tonight, let me vent, I'll speak on a track
Wasn't written for you, it was written for Matt

Boy lost his mom, it had me thinking a lot
About my life, should I start rethinking the plot?
Because I've always been about tomorrow and not today
Which explains every one of the decisions I made

But what if I die young?
Tomorrow never comes
Would my work be a waste? Tough thought to face
Why work for the future if the future's never there?
But if you choose not to care, it leaves you unprepared it the crossroads
Should I live for the moment?

Piss away my money, lose focus and I know that so many people have a dream like I do
How come they get to have their cake and eat too?
How come they go out and not just sit in this room
And make tunes about how I am so damn consumed
By this life that I chose? Don't know what to say
Perhaps another record might help me find a way

Fourth chapters in a story of Matt
I needed a fresh start, I needed a format
It's too personal when I record tracks
It wasn't written for you, it was written for Matt
It's not a concept, it's my life
These are all the things I think about at night
Tonight, let me vent, I'll speak on a track
Wasn't written for you, it was written for Matt

Fourth chapters in a story of Matt
I needed a fresh start, I needed a format
It's too personal when I record tracks
It wasn't written for you, it was written for Matt
It's not a concept, it's my life
These are all the things I think about at night
Tonight, let me vent, I'll speak on a track
Wasn't written for you, it was written for Matt

My sensei told me back in the day
That I'm responsible for every loss that I take
I really took those words to heart
Because when things went wrong, I figured that it could only be my fault
And now I'm here without a light in the dark
So I know I have to write this smart
So if tomorrow never comes, at least I said what I had to
And I present the fourth chapter of Matthew

So if tomorrow never comes, at least I said what I had to
And I present the fourth chapter of Matthew
