VERSE 1
I say things that I don't mean (why) Because I'm mean,
But if you scratch beneathe the surface find my insecurities
Try to cover up for it or find what I've been lackin',
In other words slackin', watch it pass instead of grab it
Silly rabbit, slow and steady wins the race
So you travel full speed I'll move at a turtle's pace
And while I do it igg the voices in my head
That tell me time and time again,
You'll feel better when you're dead
Oops there she goes again, being all depressed
I ain't begging for attention just to get things off my chest
Internalize emotions, I don't speak of how I'm feeling
Blood pressure building, raising higher than the ceiling
Just when I think that I can't take it anymore,
Put my pencil to the paper let the madness starts to pour
I let it flow until my cupeth runeth over
What's the sense of having arms when you don't even have a shoulder
HOOK x2
Close your eyes sleep, this is just a bad dream
Can't be reality cuz the pain's too deep
Make things better by the time I count to three
One, Two, Breathe....
VERSE 2
Keep a smile on my face even in my darkest hour,
In my mind tryna get through the hour,
Tryna get through the minute, tryna get past the moment
Tryna gather up the power to no longer live in torment
Act surprised though I do it to myself,
Keep on lying to me cuz you're lying to yourself
Yeah it's cool, this is something that I'm used to
Get the bandage and the guaze so the wound's don't seep through
That's what happens when your skin is paper thin,
Sensitive, words are daggers to my ribs,
Throwing stones when my home is made of glass
But who hasn't, can you riddle me that?
In a split second flat, things turn pitch black
Dark road, no map, I don't know which way is back
And I don't need to I'mma keep on moving further
Time is on my side and my mood is just a hurdle
