Hear Me!

Hear me as I navigate my life
When it's too much to bear, which might seem an impossibility
If given the facts of my privilege
But trust me, it's not always as sunny as it seems
I'm a stoner when I'm sad
I'm alone if I get mad
Been a little introspective over the years where I grew up
And these holes in my head, sometimes wishing me dead
Eat up everything but the socks, man, and that's pretty weird

Now would
You hear me
If I
Spoke to you

Today
If not
Then in your memories I'll stay

Hear me when I tell you I've changed a lot
From back when you knew me to be the boy that was a fool to himself
Telling you a secret that everybody knew
How they would whisper and laugh
I'm a father in my dreams
Here a loser it seems
But that's only true if I let it be
And my scars, they run deep, in my head, and almost me
Two years have done more than the previous eighteen

Now would
You hear me
If I
Spoke to you

Today
If not

This world here, it's an odd one to find yourself swimming in
We've got noise piled high, up to the gates in the sky
To keep them closed
Here everyone's a master, but nobody went to school
Saying, "I can lead myself by spitting back if it feels cruel"
Laying down to make way, for the feelings that we felt today
Seemed fine

(Woah-oh)

But then I fell far from my graces
Settled in the darkest places
I died, from crying inside
Your system is broken
It regurgitated me hopeless
Like a token for over-trivial pleasure
I swear it's true
You've got to motivate yourself
You've got to make your own mountains and climb them yourself
Cause I swear it's wrong
You can't live your life in song
There's a reason why pain's always bonded the strong
I want you to hear me!

Hear me as I navigate my life
(Ah-ah-ah)
Hear me as I sing about this strife
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Hear me as I navigate my life
When it's too much to bear, which might seem an impossibility
If given the facts of my privilege
But trust me, it's not always as sunny as it seems
