Toxx' - Better Days (Dreamin')

You know
When you're risking your life living on the edge of a powerful storm
It's only a matter of time before the storm pulls you in where only darkness and despair reside
At that point only an act of providence can save you
Sitting in a spot
In a place I was not
A hundred percent with three hots and a cot uh
Looked in the mirror at a man dying
Repositioned how I'm living I was running out of time uh
Self love wasn't much to me
Standing on the ledge but couldn't take the leap
Naw
Realized that I got a lot to live for
Little man and the fam and so much more
You know the future never lasts
So fuck the past
Don't look back
Crack the rear view mirror glass uh
Therapy got me reliving the misery
Self pity in a bottle of some Hennessy
Institutional
Sober feeling miserable
Locked up with criminals
psychotics, and popping pills
Asked god please show me a sign
Surrendered my control and left the darkness behind yeah

Dreaming of better days
Dear lord when the demons have all gone away
On my knees screaming please and I start to pray
Close my eyes cause I'm dreaming of better days aye

Dreaming of better days
Dear lord when the demons have all gone away
On my knees screaming please and I start to pray
Close my eyes cause I'm dreaming of better days aye

Used to be a lot of hope
Fast forward I was struggling trying to cope
A tragedy never really understood the scope
I was sitting in a hotel dying slow
Facts
Pandemic got me all alone
Isolation took a hold got to let it go
And momma said ain't no shortcuts to the promise land
Just got to be an honest and a good man
Speeding but I got to switch lanes
Drag racing in a haze and I'm trying to maintain
Family counting on me to do the right damn thing
Time to elevate and do the right damn thing
My affliction and a secret though
All that poison in my soul tried to take control
So many times when I should have took my last breath
But my angels woke me up and told me not yet uh

Dreaming of better days
Dear lord when the demons have all gone away
On my knees screaming please and I start to pray
Close my eyes cause I'm dreaming of better days aye

Dreaming of better days
Dear lord when the demons have all gone away
On my knees screaming please and I start to pray
Close my eyes cause I'm dreaming of better days aye

A moment of silence
For the sick and the suffering
Still out there
We're praying for you
God
Grant me the serenity
To accept the things I can not change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
Peace
