My Mind

Rapping in my mind letting all the time go bye
Wrapping up the lies since it's no surprise I find
Time accelerates without any brakes
I'm learning feeling alive takes time
But for all of us time will take our life
I try to take bad things in stride
I have to when it all lives inside
See that's the funny thing about my mind
Go ahead and restrain all you like
To get rid of my pain all in sight
My brain will obtain overnight
Bell rang it's not a winnable fight
Pitiful right?
Can you really call it living
When you living like this
Will my legs give if I live and
I list what I miss when I'm less
Second guess in a second maybe less
I'm distressed thinking on my stress in my chest
People stand there and ask
You got backup plans?
Like do you understand
The only reason I'm still standing
Is because of rap I don't need another path
Yes I'm broken by my past
Mind has many cracks
But the music fills the gaps
Feels are black fears are trapped
Sealed to match just a scratch
Let's slow down for awhile
Since each step in my head feels like a mile
Outside mild starin' at the floor tile
Inside wild tearing my own vitals because I think
I don't deserve to smile
I'm reminded every time I idle
That my mind is bad trauma piled

These thoughts define me
(Me) In my mind they will find me
(Me) It's making me crazy
Always trying to shape me
(Me) Forever thoughts will confine me
(Me) In my mind these thoughts define me
(Me) Confine me (Me) they define me

Recently went to a concert
I started rapping along insecure
So even though nobody could hear
I was self conscious of my voice on every word
That thought reoccurs every verse
I think could my voice be any worse?
My mind is really quite obsessive
Once I have a thought hard to suppress it
Honestly feel like I'm always pensive
Especially when it's penmanship
Don't ever question it's impressiveness
Made inventions as a perfectionist so
While it's near greatness I'll never like and accept it Ah!
My disorders at the helm
Cut the corners on my health
They're the orders I was dealt
Fire a mortar at myself
Just a quarter what I felt
This the border of my hell
I got problems with my pride yeah
I got problems in my bones
I got issues deep inside yeah
I got debt without loans
If you are viewing my mind
Your discretion is advised yeah
This is me this is who I am
Judge me I don't give a damn
Just me I am use to that
Stubbornly moving with a plan
Quite unique doubt is here again
Wait and see I will prove I can
Legs are weak but I will make a stand

These thoughts define me
(Me) In my mind they will find me
(Me) It's making me crazy
Always trying to shape me
(Me) Forever thoughts will confine me
(Me) In my mind these thoughts define me
(Me) Confine me (Me) they define me

People say the phrase mind over matter
But what if your mind has bad manners
And says you don't matter
No help getting better
Succumb to the pressure
And now I am at a loss
I fought but it never lost
Wasn't bought still got the cost
