A song about the years I drifted through life feeling like a ghost — trapped between letting go and holding on. This captures the foggy, numb, in-between season where I lost myself… and began to find my way home again.
Love to you ❤️

Lyrics:
Somewhere along the way
After too many hard damn days
I lost who I was
I grew so tired
Went a little crazy
Got a little lazy
The dream I dreamt
Got so fuzzy
Misty and hazy
I tried to remember
What did I love
What was it I dreamt of
I just drifted away
Like a fading ghost
Neither here nor there
Drifting out nowhere
Floating in the misting
Quietly listening
Dreaming of shifting
Stuck in between
Truly existing
Resting and resisting
Just drifting
Drifting in the misting
Stuck somewhere in the middle
In between letting go
And holding on
Of who the world shaped me into being
Dreaming
Of seeing
Something worth believing
Am I just a sham
Sometimes I question
Not knowing who I am
So mush time spent wasting on conforming
Settling in on all their distorting
I got lost in their image
Forgot how to see
Forgot how to be
I started drifting
Stuck in their misting
Like a fading ghost
Neither here nor there
Drifting out nowhere
Floating in the misting
Quietly listening
Dreaming of shifting
Stuck in between
Truly existing
Resting and resisting
Just drifting
Drifting in the misting
Drifting in the misting
I can feel me there
Whispering in my ear
Stop drifting
Sit up and listen
Stop your crying
It was rough
Be thankful you are tough
Shake it
Cut the noose
Wake up
Break yourself loose
Life is leading you home
No more drifting
I see lights shining
Shining from the misting
Like a fading ghost
Neither here nor there
Drifting out nowhere
Floating in the misting
Quietly listening
Dreaming of shifting
Stuck in between
Truly existing
Resting and resisting
Just drifting
Drifting in the misting
Just drifting
Drifting in the misting
