Chasing Illusions: The Search for a Life Beyond White Picket Fences
Lyrics
Back on my feet once again
Recovery and getting back on track.
After tossing and turning all night once again
Difficulty sleeping, reflecting on challenges.
Pulled out the key to my ride
Accessing transportation.
Stumble inside
Moving clumsily into a vehicle.
Can't keep my head up but I'm gonna be fine
Despite challenges, maintaining a positive outlook.
My girls are texting me we need a pay day
Friends expressing the need for income.
Only time we hanging is serving up on a workday
Limited social time due to work commitments.
We just need a moment in a safe place
Desire for a brief respite in a secure environment.
Headspace I got anger issues forming someone hit the damn brakes
Struggling with anger issues and a desire to pause.
Tell me where to find that white picket fence
Searching for an idealized, stable life.
And I'll tell my friends that it don't exist
Realization that the ideal life may not be attainable.
Tell me where to find that white picket fence
Continued yearning for the elusive perfect life.
I can't seem to get my mind off of it
Difficulty in shifting focus from the idealized life.
We've been looking for a life just to live
Seeking a meaningful life.
Tell me about a time you didn't think about work
Inquiring about moments free from work-related thoughts.
Could you tell me of a time you thought of money and it didn't hurt
Reflecting on financial concerns without emotional pain.
I go to the store and look at things I know I can't buy
Browsing items beyond one's financial reach.
Gotta whole world out there
Questioning time spent in a limited environment.
Why I'm wasting time here
Feeling the need to explore the vast world.
I'm wanting a family but can't even take care of myself
Desire for a family despite personal challenges.
Know these patterns forming wasn't born in old money you feel
Awareness of challenges not originating from wealth.
They sit on their thrones and wonder why we can't pay our bills
Observing the disconnect between rulers and financial struggles.
It's pretty ironic when they screw us to get better deals
Irony in those in power exploiting others for personal gain.
Tell me where to find that white picket fence
Repeating the search for an idealized, stable life.
And I'll tell my friends that it don't exist
Reaffirming the nonexistence of the perfect life.
Tell me where to find that white picket fence
Continued longing for an elusive perfect life.
I can't seem to get my mind off of it
Struggling to shift focus from the idealized life.
We've been looking for a life just to live
Seeking a meaningful life.
They wanna change the topic
Resistance to changing the conversation topic.
But this is happening and they can't stop it
Acknowledging an ongoing issue beyond control.
And now I got you watching
Asserting the inevitability of attention on the matter.
There ain't no other option
No alternative course of action.
They dream of fences million dollar mansions out of pocket
People aspiring for luxury despite financial constraints.
They wanna change the topic
Resistance to changing the conversation topic.
But this is happening and they can't stop it
Acknowledging an ongoing issue beyond control.
And now I got you watching
Asserting the inevitability of attention on the matter.
There ain't no other option
No alternative course of action.
They dream of fences million dollar mansions out of pocket
People aspiring for luxury despite financial constraints.
Tell me where to find that white picket fence
Repeating the search for an idealized, stable life.
I can't seem to get my mind off of it
Struggling to shift focus from the idealized life.
We've been looking for a life just to live
Seeking a meaningful life.
