Distort My Eyes

Distort my eyes with a beam of light
Make it so I can't see where I'm going
Take your lies and keep them out of sight
The truth is this melody flowing
Distort my eyes with a flash of light
Vision spinning in circles
All the nightmares keep me up at night
From what I hear, the pain is universal

All my life I'm told I'm nothing, I wanna show you I'm something
Why won't you believe what you see in front of your eyes
Hate on me for being anything I wanna be
Take my heart and leave it bleeding in the back streets
Pop my pills to keep my head from spinning lately
Why won't you listen while I'm screaming insanely
I'm seeing my people pray at the steeple while they bleed
Poppin them pills, counting their bills, on the minimum wage they weep
Hate how I feel, coming to kill, what are your expectations of me
You are not real, king of the hill, you don't know the vision I see
Now I'm bleeding out on a Sunday night, hope I make it out alright
Yeah, hope I make it out alright

Can you be my savior
I need you, not later
Can you be my savior
I need you, not later
Can you be my savior
I need you, not later
Can you be my savior
I need you, not later

I'm feeling lost inside myself, I try to cope without a vision
Spent too many nights alone wondering what else is missing
This rapping gave me drive, it's the whole reason I'm alive
And if it wasn't for this music I'd pop pills until I die
And I know that shit's unhealthy, it's the only thing I knew
That was my only solution for the shit that I went through
So I thank my holy savior that he helped me out the mud
To you pussies that be hating put yourself inside my shoes
I'm tryna be the light now, tryna keep the fight now
Remembering the words that I ain't have the strength to write down
Tears roll down my face, using pages just to wipe now
Grow through what you go through, that's the way that you'll get my sound
Work the nine to five getting paid minimum wage
I ain't waste a single second in that job that I hate
Writing music every day just to cope with the pain
Hoping one day when I make it that this'll all fade

Distort my eyes with a beam of light
Make it so I can't see where I'm going
Take your lies and keep them out of sight
The truth is this melody flowing
Distort my eyes with a flash of light
Vision spinning in circles
All the nightmares keep me up at night
From what I hear, the pain is universal
