Melancholy

How can you tell?
What's wrong from right and right from wrong
I got nothin'
You said that you would lift me up, but you keep bringing me down
You said that you would lift me up, but you keep bringing me down
You're messing with my head

You ever get that feeling where you're feeling down
You try to think positive, but your thoughts are on the ground
That's me right now
Seventeen right now
The pain in me right now
It's hard to believe when I don't believe in me right now
I get trapped in my head almost every single day
I live inside a dream that I cannot escape
I'm calling out for help
But no one is around
As a child my faith was high up but it fell right on the ground
The Devil is tryna get the best of me
I do not know if it's testing me
I've been searching for the recipe
For success in me
But these vocals kinda just guaranteed that this is destiny

How can you tell?
What's wrong from right and right from wrong
I got nothin'
You said that you would lift me up, but you keep bringing me down
You said that you would lift me up, but you keep bringing me down (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You're messing with my head

Stop for a second
And enter my mind
Try and really think about the words that I rhyme
The pain that I'm expressing, it lasts for a lifetime
But sometimes it goes away when I'm not thinking 'bout life
When I go into the bathroom I stand in front of the mirror
I wipe off all the lies so that I can see you clearer
I look at my reflection and hope that one day
Everything about you will just fade away
You made my white turn to gray
This ain't a feeling you can fake
But I know that you will leave
Once I'm broken piece by piece
So that I will build myself up again
And the whole cycle will repeat

How can you tell?
What's wrong from right and right from wrong
I got nothin'
You said that you would lift me up, but you keep bringing me down
You said that you would lift me up, but you keep bringing me down
You're messing with my head
