Shing02 - Ultimate High lyrics

In this world Expectations are rarely met Especially, if you dare to dream to set 'em high Way above the standard The so-called protocol But isn't that what we're supposed to do In this lifetime of ours, last hours or not? When the temperature rises And the plate gets hot You start to see the true colors In folks you once felt close Those you care about the most And one by one turn their backs on you Put their own priorities ahead of you When you know for a fact You know for a fact You would put your life on the line for them Even in the craziest of situations Without hesitation like in a blink of a fly's eye Thats right, ain't no two ways about it Ay yo, I really do mean this At the end of the day Its like yeah, here we go again How does it feel to be alone at night You gotta keep at it When nobody's watching in the audience If only I had an angel like a guardian To guide me to the path, so lost Like a stray dog without a place to call home Roaming the streets for a scene long gone No familiar faces or friendly tones But then, but then, but then, but then, but then I put my headphones on and play my song And then, and then, and then, and then... I can come run to you And tell you the kind of things That most would never know Cause they won't even show An interest to hear This here is like a prayer Except I don't wait for a reply The timing is already perfect When I'm down and out On the ground licking wounds Some old, some new You come through and be a real mate With care unlimited, unconditional Nuff of the trade-offs and calculated talks Just take a walk, face lit by the full moon And sit by the oak tree, put my head at ease Then I release All the pent up energy Let the eyes secrete And to know for the first time That everything is free like it ought to be Clear the mist of miscellaneous data On my mental desktop Foreground music, blast melodramatic The feedback is automatic Rocks the body electric It makes you wanna say f** s**, it's the ultimate high Original organic till the day that I die Ecstasy, poetry in motion Brain drug factory churning out the potions Catalyst for a runaway chain reaction Designed to give that pure satisfaction Trigger a moment Much bigger than life, defined by the media alike What I like and I dont like? Disconnect, reconnect to the channels I want To receive the feed of rush delivery To the vessel, fly ride like a fleet enterprise Once the damage is done Say whatever you want, hon Nah, you're not sorry Why worry now that I'm so over it Would I ever lose faith in this world So I won't set myself up for yet another fall? Nah cause I've seen many grown-ups All bitter, words full of pessimism and cynicism Whatever the reason beneath the surface A dark force took a toll on a young mind It might have been a case of a shattered heart Courtesy of somebody he or she trusted deeply Or it might have been a picture of modern-day slavery Painted for 'em ever since nursery And today if it ain't the artificial state of fear Might as well be the sound of Babylon Collapsing on its own weight Oh wait, and as a bonus, the weather getting eerie Minds growing weary, you got a con theory? Wouldn't doubt it, but seriously Your whole outlook is clouded Like a windshield in the winter And get stuck like a splinter On a ring finger, wood-shedding in the back I begin to piece together these clues How you might end up with an ego on bruise And out in the cuts, like a recluse But then, but then, but then, but then, but then I put my headphones on and play my tunes And then, and then, and then, and then... Right when you figure that you've seen it all And you've heard it all That everything great is cemented in the past Freeze framed for eternity Never to be topped or tampered with Think again my friend, what if we opened ourselves To see the bright talent around us It can be so damn refreshing To know that a fellow human being Can manifest miracles despite Equally stricken with the laws of gravity Always had to be self-appointed, thus anointed And you heard this yet Difficult to apply like a job out of league The truth hard to deal with Take a dose to conceal with A quick fix but why would you When you also know it could be too good to be true? Yeah you gotta be the one To search for ethereal high We gotta be the ones To be that stereo in the system Bring balance back to an equilibrium Its that one note you hit However short it may be, a flash on a retina On a whim, catch a glimpse into the next realm Hues brilliant to overwhelm It makes you wanna say f** s**, it's the ultimate high Original organic till the day that I die Ecstasy, poetry in motion Brain drug factory churning out the potions Catalyst for a runaway chain reaction Designed to give that pure satisfaction Trigger a movement Much bigger than life, defined by the media alike What I like and I don't like? Disconnect, reconnect to the channels I want To receive the feed of rush delivery To the vessel, fly ride like a fleet enterprise
