Losing Feathers

[Verse 1: Issa Gold]

Listen, I'm older than my father when he had his daughter

Had his shit in order, what that say about me moving forward?

He never stood on the corners or sent packs over borders

Had the Internet and life to make his self esteem smaller

We got different drugs, new weeds for the lungs, molly on the tongues

Opiates I loved, cough syrup got us stuck

Coke getting stuffed, liquor getting drunk, trying to chase the rush

Rabbit got the gun because the addict's not a plug

I fell in love inside my adolescence

Anything to slow up all the thinking and to cure depression

Used to walk around with my addiction

Like a secret weapon searching for the lessons

Thought that every substance had a message, and it did

But by the time you found the answers, couldn't switch

And you try to put it down, and every time you always slip

Then you reaching out for help and everyone just tell you quit

Wish they understood how vices in your life could take a grip

[Chorus: Issa Gold]

I touch the sky just to feel alive

Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine

It's either keep burning bright or the light could die

Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly

Listen, I touch the sky just to feel alive

Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine

It's either keep burning bright or the light could die

Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly

[Verse 2: AKTHESAVIOR]

Yeah, before you get your wings sometimes you got to die

Metaphorically speaking, that pain could brighten up your skies

I'm the same age as Christ, for our sins he lost his life

So who am I to claim it's too hard? His spirit part of mine

I'm a true God, we born into this world, they tell us lies

Like this whole concept of time, like this race to finish line

Way before the thoughts and language came through to crowd our minds There was truth within design, now it's time to realign

I used to struggle much, thinkin' 'bout my actions

And just blame it on my father's touch

Call it tough love with all them beatings I felt out of love

Found myself leaning out of body, yeah, I found them drugs

Used to just abuse them like the people all around me was

Then I noticed something deep inside that made me quit it

I won't be no analytic, I got reasons like a lyric

And that earth, wind, and fire burn inside me just to get it

So I'm taking full control, even remote, I'm working with it

[Chorus: Issa Gold]

I touch the sky just to feel alive

Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine

It's either keep burning bright or the light could die

Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly

Listen, I touch the sky just to feel alive

Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine

It's either keep burning bright or the light could die

Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly
