lyrics

I used to lie a lot
Mostly to try and not be different
Cried a lot cuz I could never find a spot to fit in
Wanted to die and thought of ways to stop my clock from tickin’
Like my life was lost or maybe just that I was not for livin’
All I found was contradiction
The plot thickened
All I felt was constant friction
Like what belonged was missin’
wishin’ I believed in anything with a strong conviction as believing that I wasn’t shit..
Still ain’t shit...
still as real as it gets watching the colors leave the palette when you’re feeling depressed
Watching lovers lose their balance when they see you’re a mess
and losing touch with all around you when you’re dealing with stress,
I guess it’d be perjury if I said something worked for me
My purpose is to further my self worth beyond uncertainty
Cursed with being smart to see just how absurd I act
And birthed into this earth without a perfect map..

It’s time for a solo mission / gotta find what I’ve been missing
It’s time for a solo mission / gotta find some peace of mind

It’s time for a solo mission / gotta find what I’ve been missing
It’s time for a solo mission / gotta find some peace of mind for myself

All this darkness haunting me / got me so that I can’t see
No stars above are guiding me / it’s a lonely sky

And maybe it’s time to take a deeper look at what’s inside of me /
Face the demons that are taunting me (yeah)

All this weight that I’ve been bearing / all the secrets I ain’t sharing (ooh)
Well they’ve got me suffocating

And there ain’t no God that’s saving me / but if I go there I’m afraid
That you won’t follow me / still it’s crystal clear to me

It’s time for a solo mission / gotta find what I’ve been missing
It’s time for a solo mission / I gotta find some peace of mind

Time for a solo mission / gotta find what I’ve been missing
It’s time for a solo mission / ain’t no one can save me now but myself

(If you find you find what you seek / all the joys you will keep
Past and future meet / there you’ll find yourself)
(x 2)

I wanna talk about the pain that we’re in / I wanna walk with the strength of my friends
I wanna stop and feel the rain on my skin / feel like I’m alive / stop chasing the end
(x 2)

It’s time for a solo mission / gotta find what I’ve been missing
It’s time for a solo mission / gotta find some peace of mind

Time for a solo mission / gotta find what I’ve been missing
It’s time for a solo mission / (gotta find some peace of mind)

Yeah life, you got my listening / my fate is my decision
It’s time for a solo mission

It’s time for a solo mission / this is my soul’s ambition
I’ve got to find redemption / I gotta find some peace of mind for myself

If you find what you seek / all the joys you will keep
Past and future meet / there you’ll find yourself
(x2)

As you were meant to be / living in perfect peace
Send the storms back to sea / Here you can truly be
As you were meant to be / living in perfect peace
Send the storms back to sea / Here you can truly be free

Michal Menert image

Michal Menert Denver, Colorado

With 'From the Sea', Gualala, California based artist and producer Michal Menert and his band the Pretty Fantastics have crafted a musical salve for those suffering from the relentless stream of contemporary reality. The record churns at the intersection of jazz, hip hop, and electronic music; following its own internal rhythm, it ebbs and flows between crystalline clarity and swirling opacity. ... more
