Force+Motion – One Life

Force+Motion – One Life Lyrics

Artist: Force+Motion
Song: One Life

Down i went
Into the quiet of the bottom of 175 treacherous feet below me
The ghostly light faded as i dropped and i was all alone in a black world
Black as death

Black as death
Looking in the mirror and i hate what i see
Fading from fatigue, unable to sleep
I barely can eat on every cent i make in a week

I lay in a bleak apartment, no radiator, no heat
Thinking of breaking the lease to make a retreat
Reaching for greater heights
Even if it means i fall like icarus on the maidеn flight

Late at night, my dreaming compositions fit a vision board
My life’s dеpiction like a ship on a collision course
I’m getting seasick from working this b-shift
I’ll never be sh#t unless i take a chance and seize it

I’m leaving defeating my fears and never coming back
This habitat just a reminder of my troubled past
A symbol like what the drummers crash
Had enough of that

I’m running fast stuffing my duffle bag with my crumbs of cash
Scraping for the better layer
If i don’t jump on it now ima regret it later
You only get one life (one life)

You only get one life(x2)
You better live it right
Because it can end any day or night
If i only get one it better be the best

I’m trying to see success
Not live with deep regrets
Aiyo
I’m blessed with every breath i guess

But i’m stressed because i’ve settled for less
And never bet on my potential
The passage of time is weighing heavy on my mental
I can’t settle for this level it’s essential

I act now or never, moving with baited breath
Slipping away with night moves like i’m playing chess
Heart beating out my chest
Looking back at what i left, they might wonder where i went

I’m content – i’ve exhausted my options
Pursued the fruits of labor but mine ended up rotten
In a city where my people all lost from the toxins
I was raised by the pain, now i’m up for adoption

In the drivers seat speeding off, seeking a change
Knowing the likelihood of failure increases with age
So why waste away here just repeating the same?
Yo – that’s the definition of being insane!

You only get one life (one life)
You only get one life(x2)
You better live it right
Because it can end any day or night

If i only get one it better be the best
I’m trying to see success
Not live with deep regrets
I searched for a world

But then
On this earth i have found only green
And selfishness and destruction
Man is pitted against man in hatred and lust

Man on this earth would destroy himself and his world
I understand
Then you must go on searching in sickness and in death
For better or worse

Think about you all the time
Thoughts creeping through my mind
Wonder if i drop a dime
Would you come back around?

Was it greener on the other side?
The effort subsides now
