Twisted Traditions

I'm just skin and bones
Your heart's made of stone
I get treated like a child
But watch me take the throne
I'm just skin and bones
Your heart's made of stone
I get treated like a child but watch
Me take the throne (Eh, yeah)

I'm a joke to many people in my life
I like to take my extra time and spend it
Writing all these lines
But all my friends would rather use it
Drinking beer and getting high
'Cause I use this to cope with pain
And they use that to satisfy
Their addictions and their fiends
But not to mention
I can't even tell if they enjoy the stuff
Or if they do it just to fit in
It's a sad world that we live in
People fall into the system and traditions
Rather than following all of their ambition
And you can't open up about your feelings nowadays
'Cause people you tell you it'll pass
And one day it'll go away
So crack a smile, have a laugh
And bow your head and start to pray
'Cause if your world is caving in
You gotta act like you're okay
Man, thats twisted
Just, just a little bit, isn't it?
Or maybe I'm just tripping and its normal
And I'm listening to the
Voices inside my head again
A pessimist who's gifted
But one day, when you're checking in on me
I'm gonna remember this

I'm just skin and bones
Your heart's made of stone
I get treated like a child
But watch me take the throne
I'm just skin and bones
Your heart's made of stone
I get treated like a child
But watch me take the throne

Eh, I got problems I got issues like the rest of you
And just because I miss you
Doesn't mean I'm gon' start texting you
You thirsty for my revenue, well maybe not now
But in 10 years when I'm on tour
You gon' be out in the crowd
Screaming my name loud
It's funny 'cause that wouldn't be the first time
Your parents hand you money
That's the difference, cause I earn mine
You always need attention from these people
I'm not sure why
And you 'bout to go to college run your second
Maybe third guy
I'm a blessing when I'm sure
I don't learn lessons till I'm hurt
I'm over stressing when I'm burnt
I count the seconds till I turn white
Thinking maybe it'll turn time
But it doesn't
Tryna see it from a bird's eye
Maybe God has got a reason for this hurt I been
Feeling all these types of ways
I got friends, not a lot
And I got voices in my brain
Tryna tell me they gon' leave me
Like the others did, in pain
But every time they did
It shaped me to the person I'm today
I ain't the same but, I'm just

I'm just skin and bones
Your heart's made of stone
I get treated like a child
But watch me take the throne
I'm just skin and bones
Your heart's made of stone
I get treated like a child
But watch me take the throne
