MC Blance - Sonder (feat. Misty-Jo)

Walking down the slippery pathway
Admiring all those different eyes
Will I see them again or
Am I living a different life?
Who are you to me young stranger
Could you be the one I'm looking for?
Those faceless footsteps passing me by
Don't you even notice me?

Hey you, out there
Tell me your story I'll tell you mine
Hey you, out there
Do you wanna be more than an extra in time?

Cooped up in my room, I get some sad thoughts
I think about the haves and the have-nots
I think about the people that I used to know
And all the places that I've been in this mad plot
I hope that where I'm going is a good place
And that I overcome all that in my pursuit I face
But sometimes I wanna isolate myself away
And keep my life closed like a suitcase, but listen

There's rays of light in it though, and I'm thankful for them
And all the great days between the swathes of nagging boredom
I'm just so glad I found this rap when I did like passing torches
Back when I thought rapping fast and maxing cash was mad important
But these days from time to time I've felt alone and betrayed man
Atonement's insane when no-one knows of the pain
But there's a world full of people with these notes in their brain
But for sure, how could I ever know? That's a shame

I'm on the first floor, I see the people outside of my window
With their friends or just alone, or their phone, and man it's mental
Cause they all have their own history, in a sense they don't exist to me
And I'll never exist to them, a half-subconscious mystery
And man I just want this to see, that they could know my name
That we could have a conversation, or just play a game
And with or without them I'm sure my life would go the same
I just feel like I'm missing out on things I'll never gain

Hey you, out there
Tell me your story I'll tell you mine
Hey you, out there
Do you wanna be more than an extra in time?

We all have our stories, and fantasies and fictions
Memories and jealousies and vices and addictions
It feels like I'm the centre of it, but I'm just a person
Who's an extra in the story of another on this earth and
Maybe you will see me sitting on a train and never again
I might be walking on the streets, or maybe talking to a friend
A stranger with a story just as vibrant, cloaked in silence
Stresses some out but man I think it gives me some hope inside cause

There's so many people doing a lot worse than me or you
And my heart breaks for them but still it puts all of my fear in view
Cause if I'm anxious in my head or just can't get out of my bed
I know that someone else has been there man that helps me with the dread
I'm feeling better than I was
I'm not on cloud nine, but I'm getting there because
I know I just gotta get through it when it's difficult
Bleak or when I'm just missing hope
Peace to all that I'm missing bro
Seize the moment, man this I know

It's not always easy, man I've been through the ringer
Demotivated and hopeless mate but I know who I sing for
The people who have been there, I hope some can relate
Success is not guaranteed, but I know you've got a brighter fate
Cause locked up in these walls sometimes you just forget what's out there
I just neglect to self reflect, get stressed like I'm without air
I could share my life all day, but I know you can do it for me
Just hit up someone that you know, I know they've got some stories man

Hey you out there
Tell me your story I'll tell you mine
Hey you out there
Do you wanna be more than an extra in time?

Hey you, out there
Is it you I'm looking for or is it me?
Hey you, out there
(I mean, are you even going to notice me?)
