Motions Lyrics by ILISH

Phases

2020

[Hook (x2)]
Wish I could make you
Wish I could make you proud
But I don’t blame you
I know I’m far
From what they want me to be
And I don’t want to keep you guessing
So I keep up with my moves and

[Verse 1 - ilish]
Under appreciated
Unsatisfied with all of my achievements lately
Up and down this roller coaster
Of emotions got me feeling crazy yeah
I know the pressure be getting real tough
Trying to make it while you deep in the mud
Family doubting all your dreams
Don’t give up no woah
I know they taking
They only support
When your working
For somebody greater
Who’s offering
Benefits after retiring
So what go take that risk
Don’t remain so average
You could levitate elevate
To a better place go and dream away yeah
If not they’ll crush what you believe
And then you’ll never be happy

[Hook (x2)]
Wish I could make you
Wish I could make you proud
But I don’t blame you
I know I’m far
From what they want me to be
And I don’t want to keep you guessing
So I keep up with my moves and

[Verse 2 - ilish]
Woah
Thats a lot to take in
Yet I never do quit
Can’t raise a white flag
If I ain’t don’t yet
I’m a test subject
That we all could win
Just don’t give in
To the weak non sense
Uncertain where I’m off to next
Over stressed
Overthinking end’s up in a mess
Crafted by the potter
With some dents
I won’t bite the fruit
I come correct
Boldly speaking
Don’t mean disrespect
God gave me talents
I could use
God gave me grace
I won’t abuse
God even used a donkey to
So why you think
You cannot be a tool
Why you think you cannot be a tool
To do the things you love to do
Why you think you cannot be a tool
He put it inside you

[Hook (x2)]
Wish I could make you
Wish I could make you proud
But I don’t blame you
I know I’m far
From what they want me to be
And I don’t want to keep you guessing
So I keep up with my moves and

[Verse 3 - ilish]
No te necesito
Para lograr tener éxito
Creando lo que quiero
Me siento mejor
Limites solo existen
En la mente
Si mi vida te importa
Porque no apoyarme
Ya tengo éxito
Dicen que soy loco
Hay que escandaloso
Es cristiano como
Yo no lo creo
Ademas ese ruido suena muy feo

[Outro - ilish]
Under appreciated
Unsatisfied with all of my achievements lately
Up and down this roller coaster
Of emotions got me feeling crazy
