[Verse 1:]
I've never been nothing like what you're accustomed to
Always been who I am
Don't give a fuck if you feel it or not
I've been killing the sloths
That I'm given to enter the tier at the top
See that I'm keepin' it real and ain't fearin' a thing
Compared to the fear that I bring
I eagerly bring what they want
And you wait for the moment to own it
I send my condolences

This track is so magical
They dont know half of what's cracking inside of my brain
The times have done changed, my homie
The weed ain't the thing, they be snortin' the lines of the 'cain
I'm bringin' you somethin' that's pure and euphoric
It's what they be shootin' inside of they veins
I try to maintain my spirit, but here I go slidin' away
I'm guidin' my sail
To the darkest and deepest of waters
If you ain't a part of this mission, you slippin'
Listen as flippin' my sentences
Don't give a shit if you feel it
I feel that you're interested
If you can relate to my music
I make it fit you, so don't take it for granted
God damn it, the they that they can't understand is the day I abandon the planet

[Bridge:]
This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
I blame it on my ADD, baby

This is how an angel cries
I blame it on my own self pride
Blame it on my ADD, baby

Sail (5x)

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD, baby

Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listenin'
So blame it on my ADD, baby

Sail (5x)

[Verse 2:]
Now why would you think you can mold me to something I'm not
You hate 'em, I love 'em a lot
No love for the ones that don't love what I got
And try to show love like I fuckin' forgot
The way they behaved, the day that I told them I'd make it one day
They want to the bank, but they savin' they face
This is my saving grace, now look at them, they've been erased
This is my saving grace, now look at them, they've been erased, erased (2x)

Sail (5x)

Oh, sail me home (Sail)
Oh, sail me home (Sail)
Oh... (Sail)
Sail

AWOLNATION

AWOLNATION is an American rock band, formed in 2010 by frontman Aaron Bruno. Aaron is now joined by Zach Irons on guitar, Isaac Carpenter on drums, Mike Goldman on bass, and Daniel Saslow on keyboard. They are best known for their hit song, “Sail.”

The band’s name comes from frontman Aaron Bruno’s high school nickname, “AWOL.” Aaron explains to MTV

I was either given or I claimed the nickname AWOL in high school at a certain point. So, I went with the name AWOL because I’ve always enjoyed the option of leaving social circumstances without having to explain myself. I attached “NATION” to “AWOL” and created AWOLNATION as, hopefully, a musical metaphor for a place to escape, to get through the day.
