lyrics

// Chorus:

These walls, are made to be broken
I’m crossing oceans, that are in between
In the midst, of all the commotion
I hope that you know, what this means to me

// Verse:

It’s funny, how I just seemed to hide from it
It’s seemed easier at the time, I’m not gonna lie
It’s easier to stay on your side in the divide
The effort to cross sides sometimes can break minds
Or free souls, especially if both walk the same road, I know
But it’s hard, it’s easier to stay afar
Sometimes time needs to break scars but they never do
They only thing that fades is the memory in you
But the pain continues
And I laugh, cause life doesn’t seem so bad
I’m a survivor, and at any cost at that
But it’s a terrible mind state and I hate to say
But I’ll let down my guard for this sake
Dad, can we just reconnect paths
Man, what it took to say that
I’m not sure if I’m glad or I regret
The re-awakening of past cause it’s as if
The hardened shell that I’ve held for so long has fallen
It’s a weird feeling, something I might not be comfortable with yet
I cross oceans in the hope to connect
Or at least respect the life of another man
I can complain but I never had his circumstances
It’s no excuse but it soothes
Me to know choices were hard to choose
But let’s compromise, walk in each others shoes
So you get me and I get you
You’re hurt and I am too so let’s make do
Father and son, the debut.
