Lifeline – Patrick Jørgensen

I don’t see why I’m addicted to the life that I’ve been livin’
Cause it has given me a hard time for the longest time
Ever since I was nothing more than four foot five or something
And ever since that time its evolved around fitting in with the people I wanted to be around
But I found no reason I should stay around and play their games
Another day I paid my dues
Collected cred from the older dudes who I looked up to
Makes me sick and nautious thinking of the things they made my shadow do
Put my mood to the test with an attitude
Never showed no signs of gratitude
I was mad at life so my temper reached its boiling point
Took me to the point of no return
I’d make you burn, some lessons learned the harder way
Feel the pain I caused as I portray in a detailed way
As I try my best to maintain my cool in a lenient way
I almost drowned in a pool of alcohol
Hauled some ass and I had to pull my weight through the open gates at the white walled clinic
Saw my faults and I admitted to myself that I needed help
Cause I went too far when acting a fool, quickly got old
Should have stuck to script cause I wasn’t equipped to calculate my fate, cause I just wanted…

Something I can live for, something I can fight for
Something I believe in, I just want more,
Something I can fight for, something I can die for,
Something I can take in, I just want more

I don’t know why I’m toying with the life that I’ve been livin’
Cause it has driven me a long way just to get to home plate
Staying up late just to calibrate my next maneuver
You the judge
But I don’t know if no one does really know how much
It put the F in fright for me
I woke up, chocked up, hold up
Tell me what has happened? What went down?
You was found laying on the ground
No one around, 911 got to call
No time to stall, glad they didn’t
Cause as I left they said it could have been minutes
I was unconcious, a God damn menace
Could have cost me all, could have lost my attendance and I don’t know if that would have ever been worth it though
The price I paid in the aftermath is looking back
And knowing that I’m here for a while
In need of a minute, something to say
I need to admit it
Whoever called it in you should know I owe you
Sad I never had the chance to look it up and see who it was
Who called it in? I’d hook you up with a big ass hug
Shown some love like you did that time when you made that call
You saved my life, let me sing for yours
Let me sing these words. I made my choice
Hope I find something in time to fulfill my dream
I’m glad am here cause I got…

Something I can live for, something I can fight for
Something I believe in, I just want more
Something I can fight for, something I can die for
Something I can take in, I just want more
[x2]

I just wanted something I can live for, something I can die for
Something I believe in, I just want more

I just wanted life
I just wanted life
I need a lifeline
Lifeline
Lifeline
You gave me a lifeline
Something I can live for, something I can die for
Something I believe in, I just want more
