Stay Awake

All I can say is, "My life's pretty plain"
All I can do is make a song to stay awake

Yeah, always so tired, can feel uninspired
Make it hard to make a record, can't get retired (no)
Then it catch fire, though, soundin' like a pyro
Make hits with my eyes closed like ridin' a bicycle, yeah

I'm on that next, next, next level (next)
Make you raise the volume a decibel (go)
Make you wanna strive past that desk level (why?)
To move dollars left, a decimal

I write that, maybe you should listen different (huh?)
Make you wonder how he's this consistent (bro)
Part of it, vision, part intuition (what?)
Part artistic (ah), part is prescriptive
Pardon my French but, "Mon Dieu, I'm gifted" (ah)
Thought patterns, complex and cryptic
Self-reflection, on tracks to rhythms
No way I make songs less prolific

All I can say is, "My life's pretty plain"
All I can do is make a song to stay awake

Yeah (yeah), this journey got me feelin' not much like myself, man
Lately, I've been feelin' someone else, man
Depression and anxiety will kill you
And me, even if it's yours, but I feel you

Dramatic, empathic, here we go again (ah)
Nerves hypersensitive, open and exposed to trends, plus it's cold (uh-huh)
So emotions tend to be potent with that hopelessness (what?)
Ha, I wanna save you all but I can't though (no)
Bogged down with all that I can handle (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Tried to get up, can hardly stand though (ah)
Take a deep breath, exhale slow

Life's hard, better if you say it's good (uh-huh)
Run a couple miles around your neighborhood
Smile about your scars, be proud of who you are
See, nobody's immune, some just fake it good

All I can say is, "My life's pretty plain"
All I can do is make a song to stay awake

All I can say
All I can do
All I can say
All I can do
All I can say
All I can do
