Alternate State lyrics

Before it’s too late and I hesitate

Remember I came, from a small town

I guess I’d have to say, I’m still running away

From the old mentality

From a mode of thinking.

You opened my eyes, opened my mind

Got a new point of view, now baby

And it’s all about you.

All the things I’ve always thought

Have all come to naught

Got a new perception, yeah

Almost a new reflection.

I used to be afraid to fly.

I’m still a little scared of darkness.

Just follow the sound, guess I got around

On my own initiative, but there was something missing.

An alternate state, alternative ways, uncovering new sensation, yeah

Discover my true potential.

Opening doors, breaking down walls

‘Till there’s no glass ceiling on

It’s the only feeling.

Got out of there fast, I ran from the past

Some pieces of me got left behind-

And something will always be there.

I used to be afraid to fly.

I’m still a little scared of darkness.
