Dual Core - Downtime lyrics
[Dual Core - Downtime lyrics]
Picking up from setbacks
Once again returning
A disappointing saga from
An optimistic journey
Resuming out of hibernate
The power got restored
Building up the bravery to finally hit record
Hesitant, reluctant, unsure if I can cut it
Hit a wall and then I
Stalled thus becoming unproductive
Plus I wasn't having luck with
Really much of anything
Empty lacking meaning
Now reflection getting menacing
Can't express these issues
What if someone overhears
Overcoming challenges to understand
Them clear afraid of facing failure
Any move could bring it near
But this lack of forward motion
Just solidifies the fear
System state corrupted but can't
Revert the snapshot
A silent silhouette against
A solitary backdrop
Abandoned what I have and just
Focused on the have not
Lock myself away but I'd
Probably pick the padlock
Finally unplugged from the storm
That I had weathered
Crumbled under pressure
Put the statement on the record
Lacking any effort
Got the madness but no method
Sad and introspective
Feeling ever disconnected
Now I'm writing past the margin, hardened
Charging from the sidelines
Just invert the five nines
Seemed a couple lifetimes
Labelled AFK inactivity displayed
Returning to the stage after having been away
Sick and tired of these single wires
Feeling uninspired
The music's undesired but too
Young to just retire and I’d never walk away
From opportunity for higher
Elevating my community of peers that I admire
Decoded and I’m cold
An alone defeated rhymer
Back myself into this corner, need it warmer
Seeking fire eroding at my soul to
Decrypt this weakened cipher
Coming up from downtime but
Feeling so expired
Despite the homecoming
I don't think it's run it's course
This is weakness in a story
Not a path to be endorsed
Even present day with regrets
And this remorse
The fear of failure holding
Still imposing quite a force
Afraid that I would ruin any legacy in music
Any other reasons said were
Really just excuses
Surrounded now in doubt getting
Blasted with confusion
Success and being fearless
Seeming mutually exclusive
The only path is forward
Rarely looking back instead
Learning from the past
But still focusing ahead
Distant and withdrawn
Felt like hanging by a thread
But, I just couldn't let it go, though
No matter what was said
Tired of being out of it
Clearing out these outages
Regular expressions 'cause I’m finished
With the counterfeit's
Excited for the rise so don't tell
Me bring it down a bit
Finished with my downtime
Consider this a power trip
Once again returning
A disappointing saga from
An optimistic journey
Resuming out of hibernate
The power got restored
Building up the bravery to finally hit record
Hesitant, reluctant, unsure if I can cut it
Hit a wall and then I
Stalled thus becoming unproductive
Plus I wasn't having luck with
Really much of anything
Empty lacking meaning
Now reflection getting menacing
Can't express these issues
What if someone overhears
Overcoming challenges to understand
Them clear afraid of facing failure
Any move could bring it near
But this lack of forward motion
Just solidifies the fear
System state corrupted but can't
Revert the snapshot
