Only Gets Darker

It's hard
I carry these burdens around even though they heavy
They keep on piling up, I'm acting tough but they gon' bury me
You keep on saying my tracks are depressing
What do you want me to talk about?
Something am not having?
(I can't fake it)
They hate the truth, and they love it when you fake it
They create their own "facts" not carrying 'bout no feelings
Now you screaming "fake woke" coz you know that you got it
Nothing is gonna change now I just don't how to face it

What goes up comes down now I get it
Everything that goes to my mind falls into my heart okay I get it
That's the reason why my heart is too heavy but I lift it
Everytime I fall down I pick me up and keep going
I don't seek for help coz all you want is compensation
Distractions all the way but I won't forget my mission
Ain't talking about no retina but I have a clear version
You can stop poking my eyes coz you can't mess up my vision

Look
I turn to overthink now I'm lost in my mind
I can't get out of this place I'm barricaded inside
I've been hitting my head a lot there's a crack on my skull
I don't wanna let you in, you might join me and drown
That's why I keep the doors locked ain't no entrance to my life
When I die I hope you ain't gone be telling no lies
You gon tell em the true about the person I was
"He spent most of my time breaking down"

Don't wanna be fluent I just wanna be heard
I keep on writing tracks but you don't know a single verse
And you keep on telling me that you really got my back
Oh really then why are you putting my song in the trash

I'm not okay
Never thought I'd in this state again
Where you'll keep on talking and all I will be saying is come again
When my anxiety speaks it keeps on shifting my mindset
Never been an optimist but this is messing my mind frame
Bad memories are really tattooed on my brain
I'm saying this coz i know they can't be erased
Got puffy eyes everyday it's like a scar on my face
I barely sleep, got fatigue maybe this is my fate
