It started when I embarked on my craziest quest
I left home cos something missing was hurting my chest
It was like I was fishing without hooks, line or nets
Or reading an empty book with no spine or print set
So I had to bet with the odds, they were better than best
They were so high they’d score straight ‘A’ on a test
And I didn’t want to die and not try……
………………………………cos it could manifest!
So I thought I should stretch my horizon higher than it is
Cos my sun was rising and setting without me having lived
I’d not made my final bid… and it was about time I did!
With my backpack on my back I made tracks
All I had was some cash and the clothes in my rucksack
And enough hash stashed to last about a month
But I had a hunch what mapped past that packed a punch
So I took the crunch, bit the bullet, left with no trace
And my life quickly unfurled to a far smoother pace
I was outta the rat race, while embracing a kinder place
Tasting the high life, I wasn’t wasting anymore time
Id chased happiness for so long, I could run the race blind
Never mind I was there, all my cares disappeared in the air
The fair weather was here… the storm was back there..
..Nowhere to be seen, like a dream when you awaken
In its place clean living, apart from the drugs I was taking
but it was replacing far worse than what I’d be facing
I mean is being high under hot skies not better than faking?
There’s no debating, I wasn’t happy, but it changed
And if you’re relating to this id say, “life needs rearranged”…
...before you become deranged… so get out instead
Cos if you don’t give it a shot, life will shoot you dead
So use your head, I fled and its like what I said
You make you bed and lie in it, so try to make it soft
I did it for 5 years, and didn’t once feel id lost
Then it clicked, yes id missed the real problem
Running away doesn’t mean you’re gonna solve them
Cos when it came down to it, exactly what did I obtain?
Exotic views and better tan, but only a family by name
I shouldn’t have ran, cos what was missing never came
I thought it did, but the main shit remained the same
It’s the way you play the game… I took work to serious
Thought money was more important than it really is
I became delirious through striving for far too much
I’d lost touch with my family, so now I don’t push
I clutch them close to my heart, everything else comes next
And I like to call my quest a test to find my home address
I went around the globe, in hope of happiness
When all I needed was to take a close look at this?
Look at what?….. The family I thought id never miss
But I did… but now I’m back, and now my life is bliss
