Yearning

[Verse 1: Slug] When I was younger I'd be walking through the rain Probably going to a party where nobody knew my name I paid to get inside to feel awkward and strange Hanging from the wall like a piece of art without a frame Now the music was loud enough to hear from outside of the house Like the sound was crawling out of the ground Then it was joined by the noise of the crowd A mosaic of voices that escaped from the universe's beautiful mouth I knew that this was how I wanted to feel forever Whenever I could be wherever people come together Mixin' up the purpose with the nerves and pressure Reminiscing on a better day I don't even remember Fallin' down tryin' to chase validation Exaggerated bow from the clown on the stage And I'm yearnin' for connection please turn your attention This an invitation to my intervention [Chorus: Yoni Wolf] I yearn I need something but I don't know what it is I've lived a little life of if only now it's time to give in I yearn I need something but I can't tell what it is Blown out or thoughts on the fault line all day I'd rather be the breeze than an earthquake [Verse 2: Slug] I wanna believe I'd still do this Even if no one approved I hope I never have to prove it Make no mistakes I'm cool with losing myself In somebody else's music the moment I feel the movement I function with no interruption while I shelter Underneath a song structure on the corner of the culture Made a promise to myself that when I'm on my last breath I'll remember it was you gave me life after death I wanna dedicate this to who's listenin Just to let you know how much it's rooted in addiction Ever since my first hit I felt that passion And I've been all across the map tryin' to pet that dragon I'm yearnin for external support and reinforcement Put your hands together to determine my importance There's no armor that can offer you protection from rejection No exceptions, I need to feel acceptance [Chorus: Yoni Wolf] I yearn I need something but I don't know what it is I've lived a little life of if only now it's time to give in I yearn I need something but I can't tell what it is Blown out or thoughts on the fault line all day I'd rather be the breeze than an earthquake
