The Underachievers
Losing Feathers

[Verse 1: Issa Gold]
Listen, I'm older than my father when he had his daughter
Had his shit in order, what that say about me moving forward?
He never stood on the corners or sent packs over borders
Had the Internet and life to make his self esteem smaller
We got different drugs, new weeds for the lungs, molly on the tongues
Opiates I loved, cough syrup got us stuck
Coke getting stuffed, liquor getting drunk, trying to chase the rush
Rabbit got the gun because the addict's not a plug
I fell in love inside my adolescence
Anything to slow up all the thinking and to cure depression
Used to walk around with my addiction
Like a secret weapon searching for the lessons
Thought that every substance had a message, and it did
But by the time you found the answers, couldn't switch
And you try to put it down, and every time you always slip
Then you reaching out for help and everyone just tell you quit
Wish they understood how vices in your life could take a grip

[Chorus: Issa Gold]
I touch the sky just to feel alive
Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine
It's either keep burning bright or the light could die
Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly
Listen, I touch the sky just to feel alive
Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine
It's either keep burning bright or the light could die
Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly
[Verse 2: AKTHESAVIOR]
Yeah, before you get your wings sometimes you got to die
Metaphorically speaking, that pain could brighten up your skies
I'm the same age as Christ, for our sins he lost his life
So who am I to claim it's too hard? His spirit part of mine
I'm a true God, we born into this world, they tell us lies
Like this whole concept of time, like this race to finish line
Way before the thoughts and language came through to crowd our minds There was truth within design, now it's time to realign
I used to struggle much, thinkin' 'bout my actions
And just blame it on my father's touch
Call it tough love with all them beatings I felt out of love
Found myself leaning out of body, yeah, I found them drugs
Used to just abuse them like the people all around me was
Then I noticed something deep inside that made me quit it
I won't be no analytic, I got reasons like a lyric
And that earth, wind, and fire burn inside me just to get it
So I'm taking full control, even remote, I'm working with it

[Chorus: Issa Gold]
I touch the sky just to feel alive
Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine
It's either keep burning bright or the light could die
Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly
Listen, I touch the sky just to feel alive
Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine
It's either keep burning bright or the light could die
Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly
