Mentality

What I hear and what I see? I react unwisely
Either I let go or I take in; I leave out or I go in

Heart's shattered, torn, battered
They fed misery to me like a fixed platter
Afflicted damage to the wound after
I'm in dark times that I mourn
Have a hollow mind, got my thoughts plastered
Agonized me 'til I'm lost, scattered
All my happiness is soon to rot
Don't you release your thoughts if I can't handle it, handle me
Do you even know my mentality
I never get my words out
I never understand what you say to me
Couldn't have taken worse routes; I like vanity
There's always a showdown that's gotta go down
No one ever slows down 'til the sand in the hourglass drains out
I can't help but burst out, release all this anger
I'm always gettin' cursed out, but my response is just a finger
I'm aware that I stomp mud
I catch when you throw shade
I look out for those I love
Everybody's always got their hands out
But no one's 'bout to get a handout
How's this foot when it's put down, huh

This is what I hear and what I see
Please tell me, what defines peace
What's my mentality
Can I calm down and breathe
Lost mind, lost my mind
Bad time, in a bad part
How I react, that's how it starts
I would ease back, but to watch hurts
Mentality's diverse
Mentality's diverse

I repent
I get I'ma regret on this
I'm resentful, bent on
Intend to quit
I'm off the hinges
Prevent my mess, the act as bliss is fake
Yeah, it's the state I'm in
I grieve on this, I've feigned and it's
Been a twist and turn, a bumpy ride
I've learned that I'm none of your concern
'Round here, I'm at the edge of the coast
If I could rewind that clock, bet all of this goes
Turning gears, it is eeriest, here it's just incapacity
So unbalanced, be automatically
Acting callous, feed off of everything
Just threw me to the side though
I'ma return the favor on a side note
I want this stress gone, wanna calm down
Wanna know where you all now
Feel like I'm 'bout to bust, that's the fallout
All mixed-emotions; I'm all out

This is what I hear and what I see
Please tell me, what defines peace
What's my mentality
Can I calm down and breathe
Lost mind, lost my mind
Bad time, in a bad part
How I react, that's how it starts
I would ease back, but to watch hurts
Mentality's diverse
Mentality's diverse

They don't like the way I react
I don't like the way you kickback
Never watch your surroundings, surrounded by distractions
Mind is untapped
No contact; lost that
Lost in impact; no traction
Light headed, head backwards
I told you, let's start over
But you over-looked our differences, then crossed over
I crossed the line; it's all over
You know where my minds at, my mindset
Aware that talkin' to me is nonsense
Since back then, I've lost track
Everything's downhill
It's all happenin' too fast, all a blur
My thoughts black
All inaccurate, livid after what happened
Ain't adaptin'; timid
Goin' overboard
Please do not push my limits
Yeah, I am emotionally upset
It's been a couple days since I actually have slept

This is what I hear and what I see
Please tell me, what defines peace
What's my mentality
Can I calm down and breathe
Lost mind, lost my mind
Bad time, in a bad part
How I react, that's how it starts
I would ease back, but to watch hurts
Mentality's diverse
Mentality's diverse
