Dual Core - Drifter lyrics

Hit the road, get on my
Flight fine, touch down, reset
Just gotta get in my right mind
Every second is prime time along for the ride
When this body's my vehicle I'ma drive mine
Lights in the tunnel, illuminate the skyline
A green metal scene not a
Dream but a pipe climb
(Gears march on) Witness the
Journey of a lifetime
So much struggle but it's relative, Einstein
Going in circles
Trying to find the right sign
A one way ticket
We couldn't book it on Priceline
My rearview is clear view in front
Of me my eyes blind
Shouldn't be driving it in the night time
Easily lost and more easily scared
With the shadows from the bright lights
And high beams glare


Thick like the fog but clouded
By doubt and fear
Then you defrost the windows
Everything becomes clear
See here, opportunities still appear
Same trips but the brand new
Flavor in your ear
More than a death tax year after year
If there's only one shot then
It's more than a career (yeah)
Wrong turns and there's no going back
No slack impact detour after the fact that
Sometimes GPS got in on track but
If only I could navigate life
With Google Maps like that
(right turn ahead)

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted
Gotta choose where you go
On this one way show, please, pay the toll
With your hands on your wheel
Gotta maintain control

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started
Gotta choose where to go
On this one way show, relax, take it slow
(it's the return of the drifter)

This goes out to my people everywhere
Who in suffering endured more
Than their fair share
The other kids at school made
Fun of what you wear
Gym class picked last and
Never the best player
The resistor, it's the, drifter
Mister, inter-rupt eighty just the descriptor
Table and it's stable so I
Spit a little quicker
To deliver all the syllables
Advanced to beginner didn't skip ya (Viktor)
This is for the new kids
Band nerds, chess clubs that never met Cupid
Every day feeling so intrusive
Past, present, and future all inclusive
Understand that they just got it wrong
In the zone or at home somewhere you belong
They put you in that cage
Full of rage King Kong
Claiming you were weak but inside so strong
Thinking back remembering the dread
How you hated weekdays lay awake in bed
How you clutched at your sanity
By a thin thread
Wishing that your enemies had
Just been friends
Cause this is your time so they're in debt
For stealing all your shine
Made it hell instead
You had the answers they're not impressed
Embarrassed and distressed about
Your interests

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted
Gotta choose where you go
On this one way show, please, pay the toll
With your hands on your wheel
Gotta maintain control

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started
Gotta choose where to go
On this one way show, relax, take it slow
(it's the return of the drifter)

This one's for everyone, in no way political
Fine, just a little bit consider it municipal
Brushed off the critical defied
All the ridicule
Denied any opportunity to make you miserable
This one's for you in the physical
You in the digital
You all together indivisible
You atypical, you all original
Who severed the umbilical you the individual
Now take a look at you, see it in the clear?
Made it out the fog, still standing
Now you're here (uh uh)
Lookin' back you was bringing up the rear
See those bullies who you feared
At best are just your peers
And at worst? No need for going there
Got your own path, keep climbing those stairs
It's the path less traveled
Now that you're aware hold your head high
Put your chin up in the air right there

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted
Gotta choose where you go
On this one way show, please, pay the toll
With your hands on your wheel
Gotta maintain control

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started
Gotta choose where to go
On this one way show, relax, take it slow
(it's the return of the drifter)

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted
Gotta choose where you go

Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started
Gotta choose where to go

(high plains drifter, return) to your life
