Introspective Perspective
Lemme sit you down right quick
You think it's okay that I'm out here like this
Praying to God to take down the facade
Some things can't be missed
I thought I was slick.
Okay
Lemme bring it back to the 3 am
Laying in bed, scary thoughts in my head
No way
Lemme take it back a little at a time
I'm just a lost boy in a pantomime
Sick of crying, sick of lying
Forced the smiling, inside I'm dying
As I'm writing I'm starting to realize
You can't summarize
What I seen with these eyes
Is there a prize to being alive
Another day without an end
Man I really need a friend
Through love and loss
These feelings
Well up high and tightly sealing
If that's my own perspective
I will live in introspection
Through love and loss
These feelings
Well up high and tightly sealing
If that's my own perspective
I will live in introspection
Man, I been so cold
Ain't got no light for my home
The place I can be all alone
Still shudder when lookin' in my open dome
I think I should eat yeah
I can't fall asleep yet
The time when I need it
Have me wide awake in the evening
I ain't skippin' no trip to my bed
Sleep is the only place where I'm ahead
Ahead of my problems
Ahead of my sorrows
I'm lost in my soul
But can't go hit the bottle
Yeah, I'm sober and hollow
Sleepwalking through life
Like I can't be myself around
People I'm seeing tomorrow
Will I see you tomorrow?
Through love and loss
These feelings
Well up high and tightly sealing
If that's my own perspective
I will live in introspection
Through love and loss
These feelings
Well up high and tightly sealing
If that's my own perspective
I will live in introspection
Tomorrow, I'm sitting in
Blue in the sorrows, I'm swimming in
Once the reality's sinking in
I start getting flat around seven, like I'm Mixolydian
I been losin' sleep lately
Rain dancin' on the AC
Lying and waitin', undercovers like KC
Resting on the thought that somebody hates me
But maybe
I'm just waitin' for someone to (Chase me)
Can you see me? You don't even (Face me)
Leaves a strain, till it (Breaks me)
I can't wait for a (Fresh start)
So the same fate awaits me
Lowkey, we all think the same thing
No matter how we approach it
We all want someone that knows how we think
And still stays with our crazy
(I don't even know you
And I already
Care what you think)
Things that are true and things that are better
Are
By their nature, practically always easier to prove
And easier to believe in.
Well if that's the case
Why am I faced
With something I shouldn't be able to prove
Emotionally stuck, but can't physically move
Tryna
Adopt a brand new perspective
Might say that
(Issa bit introspective
But honestly got a track that has been so reflective
But wait)
Lemme uh, lemme shift on to you
Telling me things that I cannot do
Bringing restrictions that's
(Based on a fiction)
I
Claim to hate sadness but
(It's an addiction)
I
Keep tryna shake it off
I'm preppin' for take-off
And if you don't change
Imma take off
You think it's okay that I'm out here like this
Praying to God to take down the facade
Some things can't be missed
I thought I was slick.
Okay
