[English]

Na-na, hmm

Na-na, hmm

I will fall in the void, fall in the void, just to avoid

Anything that can bring me down or fuck with my flow

Fall in the void

Fall in the void

I will fall in the void, fall in the void, just to avoid

Anything that can bring me down or fuck with my flow

Fall in the void

Fall in the void

Hey, oh, need to free my mind, ah yeah

This a little ritual of mine, as I

Head home, head up high, get some

Hello, sailing by, nah-nah

Say, oh, been dead and alive, don't know

Let go, they say I'll survive, if you say so

Please don't lie, my days are low, I'll give it a try

Seen new things in my soul

When I'm just sittin' in my room all alone

This is the real, it's how I roll

Tell my friends and folks that I'm on a ride, don't know when I'm comin' home

Things might change but I'm cool with it

Flyin' higher than I've ever been, I see the world just as it is

Please hear me, no, no, no, I cannot wait

As we climb, I'm soarin'

I will fall in the void, fall in the void, just to avoid

Anything that can bring me down or fuck with my flow

Fall in the void

Fall in the void (fall in the void)

I will fall in the void, fall in the void, just to avoid

Anything that can bring me down or fuck with my flow

Fall in the void

Fall in the void

...

See ya, never have I flown so high

Feel a feeling takin' over, goodbye

Be just what you need to be, let's go

Everything is all on me, don't count me out

These nights, they save him from my hellhole

When it's dark and my heartbeat echoes

Yeah, that's just what I love, ooh

Heaven ain't too far now

Show me what I don't know (what I don't know)

Imagine these things so simple, break the code

'Round and 'round, my mind is throwed

Prayin' I overdose on this love, it got me flyin', I'm headed home

And I'm thinkin' I be dreamin', lights are gleamin'

God watching, haters floodin', but I can't be focused on that

Here it goes, this the part, I cannot wait

Don't ask why I'm soarin'

I will fall in the void, fall in the void, just to avoid

Anything that can bring me down or fuck with my flow

Fall in the void

Fall in the void (fall in the void)

I will fall in the void, fall in the void, just to avoid

Anything that can bring me down or fuck with my flow

Fall in the void

Fall in the void

Na-na-na-na, oh, no

Oh, oh-oh

...

Oh God, oh God, thank You

You've been in my dreams, you've been in my dreams

Oh, I'm just trying to be the best man I can be

Thank you for listening

Thank you for never leaving me

And it's gon' be okay

It's gon' be okay

I promise you

I promise you

...
