Klaustrophobic

You ever been down a path
Thinking this one is gonna be your last
Going nowhere, can't find your way out
Only walls around, you're stuck to the ground
Looking at the clock it doesn't stop
It keeps on turning and your time is gone
Your looking for the key to the lock
But you're scared blocks don't always unblock

It's hard to be in that situation
You don't what to feel your thinking what's the occasion
Why do I eat
Why do I sleep
Why do I wake up in the morning
Why have a dream

You might think I'm being dramatic
But let me rap a little about it
Think about the thing you love to do the most and when you did it last
Now repeat, repeat it, repeat it till your out of gas
Do it once more, like you'll never get to do it again
There's no end in sight but trust me there's an end
And when the time comes you'll need a break
But when that time comes that's where the quake begins

First it's cool, I don't need to do it all the time
I don't need a hobby, sometimes it's just fine to grind
Get the work done, get it out of the way
Live your life making gains, productive all day
Your making moves but suddenly it doesn't feel the same
No matter what you do it's ripped away
Everything's gone in the blink of an eye
You no longer hear the song
The one that kept you going through it all
The one that made sure you didn't fall
Nothing but a hollow body of darkness
No light in sight like the virgins you ran out of oil
You've done nothing but toil

Now here it comes
You need it
You need something to get it all going again
You're missing a piece of the puzzle, a true friend
The one that was always there no matter what
You can't seem to catch a break and you tried a lot
You try to reinvigorate, reinstate, what you had before
No matter what it takes
Nothing you do seems to match up
To what it was like when you had it all the time
You delete, you throw away
That's it that's your day
Nothing seems to change
A cycle of a monotonous mental state
You find a corner and you lock away
The very thing that scares you, you gravitate
How the hell does that work
You try to stay calm you try to stay awake
You just wish it would all go away
And you say, you said it would be back again
Is it true
Was he right talking to the past at 3am at night
It's 3 am right now while I'm writing this
But the difference is I'm doing what i like

But see in that moment in that time
I had no guarantee
I wasn't feeling right
They say nothing is forever well you could've fool me
It's like I lost my heartbeat
Luckily for me I was saved by the pieces and a muse
Now I regained my freedom I'm on the loose
I wasn't in a great place
I felt I had nothing to lose
Will it happen again
It prolly will
That's the unfortunate life that we live in
Will I be prepared probably not
But will I be this scared probably ya
It's the very uncertainty that comes with it
Even if know it's unforgiving
You just gotta try and take it in strides
And just hope

You'll never stay down a path
Thinking this one is gonna be your last
Going nowhere, can't find your way out
Only walls around, you're stuck to the ground
Looking at the clock it doesn't stop
It keeps on turning your time is gone
Your looking for the key to the lock
But you're scared blocks don't always unblock

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
I just had to get it all off
A line I said as a joke to a friend
Became story that I just had to tell
