On My Mind

I got a lot on my mind
And I can't keep it inside me any longer
So I guess I better release it
Before it's too late

I got a lot of things that's on my mind
So much so, It's been affecting my daily grind
I can't get peace, so I might as well release
The stress that's causing me so much grief
We're living in a world that they keep destroyin'
This disregard for human life is so annoyin'
We make it what it is, so why you gotta disregard?
Every human being, why you gotta make their life hard?
While corporations get richer and richer
Humanity gets bitter and bitter
Devolving to the point where we cannot function
We'll be nothing by the time 2040 comes
And if we make it past that, I'll be surprised
But no lie, I've lost all faith in everything
Trying to fit in has made me skeptical
Of everything that we have done, it's questionable

On My Mind, I got a lot of stuff
So much so, that it's never going to be enough
When will this stop, when will this end?
I hope someday I can comprehend
What goes on inside my mind
So I can ease off and truly find
The peace and relaxation that I truly need
In order to succeed cause my life ain't well

I question whether they want autistic people to live
When it's awareness not acceptance; I'm like, what gives?
I hear people talking about killing their autistic child
Makes me want to go buck wild on all the critics
Who say that I'm the worst person ever alive
All I did was try and now they want me to die?
Whatever happened to loyalty? Did it die in a ditch
All I see is everybody acting alone trying to get rich
The game's so corrupt, it's all pay to play
And the sad part is, nobody cares to say
Anything positive about the struggling artist
Who performs their hardest and get no audience regardless
I'm tired of putting my quarters in the slot machine
Hoping I get triple 7's and become a king
This lottery is messed up, we shouldn't be selected
We should be presentin' our talent to the masses

On My Mind, I got a lot of stuff
So much so, that it's never going to be enough
When will this stop, when will this end?
I hope someday I can comprehend
What goes on inside my mind
So I can ease off and truly find
The peace and relaxation that I truly need
In order to succeed cause my life ain't well

I got a beef with people who shun me
Never give me the right to communicate friendly
So why is it that I have to hold on to grudges
Why can't I love everyone, is that hard to get?
I don't want to be an enemy, I want to be friendly
That's why I get pissed off, because they remind me
Of the torment and pain that I experienced
And I haven't gotten through that, I'm still stuck in a ditch
I don't know if I can get out, they keep putting me back in
I know I'm over exaggerating but where do I begin?
Way back when, when I didn't know any better
But of course, I'll never know any better
Cause they keep changing the rules every single day
And I'll never know enough so there's a price I have to pay
I'm broke as a joke, how can I even afford
A new lease on life and a single award?
