Cuff Keys (feat. Hannah Wheeler)

This song is about that sayin' that you always hear

About that light at the end of the tunnel

And how you just gotta keep on wakin' up every morning

And keep the faith that one day you're gunna make it through this

It's Ty the Prince, and Hannah Wheeler, y'all

Someone told me that there is a light at the end of this

Wait for it

Sometimes I catch myself just kinda goin' through the motions
I'm like a robot cuz I'm stone cold, I have no emotions

Life is a cycle, and it feels like I'm a prisoner
I'm all alone with just my thoughts, my only visitor

My hands are tied, and I am sick and tired of the fight
I try to sleep, and yet I always stay up half the night

I'm trapped in darkness, no one's there to help me find the light
I keep on choosing wrong, I don't think that I'll ever get it right

I'm just trying to find these cuff keys
To break free from my darkest insanities

I'm just trying to find these cuff keys
To wake me from these darkest inhumanities

Then someone told me

Someone told me
That there is a light
At the end of this (yeah, yeah)
Wait for it (just wait it out)

I can't see it
Don't want to believe it (I don't believe it)
But I confess (let's hear it)
I'm a mess (don't fear it)

It's nine to five or eight to ten, and I do it again
I'm victim to the trap, I'm Daniel in the lion's den

As if vacations or some yoga will find me some zen
I tell myself that if I make it big it'll be worth it then

But if you ask me how I'm doin' I'll say that I'm fine
Nothin' that I can't solve with a couple bottles of wine

Just to escape the constant pressures building in my mind
And thoughts of how I'd live my life if only I could press rewind

I'm just trying to find these cuff keys
To break free from my darkest insanities

I'm just trying to find these cuff keys
To wake me from these darkest inhumanities

Then someone told me

Someone told me,
That there is a light (I can see it)
At the end of this (I-I-I can see it)
Wait for it (just wait it out)

I can't see it
Don't want to believe it (I don't believe it)
But I confess (let's hear it)
I'm a mess (don't fear it)

Put my hands up (just put 'em up)
Put my hands up (yeah, yeah)
All I need (all I need)
Is a key (is the key)

For these handcuffs (yeah, yeah)
For these handcuffs (yeah, yeah)
Unlock me (unlock me)
Set me free (set me free)

Save me from this
Save me from this
Hell, hell, hell (from this hell, from this hell, from this hell)

(yeah), Save me from this
(yeah), Save me from this
Hell, hell, hell (yeah, yeah, from this hell)

But then again I know that life is kind of beautiful
And after all I think my ambitions are doable
I know that sometimes I get down doing the usual
But I have purpose and importance when I'm actin' dutiful

I know my family, that they're always gunna have my back
And when I falter, somehow I always get it back on track
I thank my lucky stars that even when my heart feels black
At least it's b-b-beating, knock on wood, n-n-no heart attack

I'm just trying to find these cuff keys
To break free from my darkest insanities

I'm just trying to find these cuff keys
To wake me from these darkest inhumanities
