Slave

Slave to my own mind
My hands feel numb (my hands feel numb)
From holding on too tight
Scared to let go, scared to let go of the leash that I made
My neck feels numb (my neck feels numb)
But still I carry on, I carry on

I built these walls to keep everything inside, oh
I built these walls to keep everyone outside, oh

The whip that strikes my back
The leash I put around my neck
I'm a slave to my own head
Each time I set a new rule
It's burning my skin (yo)

Apologies to those who know me best
I'm underwater tryna hold my breath
If I decide to plunge down to the coldest depths
I only hope to hold no regrets
Just know I tried to give you all of me and never give up
But it just felt like I was never enough even when leveling up
I know the road to where we're headed is rough
So if you want it then you better be tough
Just try to keep in mind

I built these walls to keep everything inside
(Apologies to those who know me best)
(I'm underwater tryna hold my breath) oh
I built these walls to keep everyone outside
(Plunge down to the coldest depths)
(I only hope to hold no regrets) oh

The whip that strikes my back
The leash I put around my neck
I'm a slave to my own head
Each time I set a new rule
It's burning my skin

You've seen a side of me
You've seen a side of me
I wish you'd never seen (run away, run away)
You've seen a side of me
You've seen a side of me
I wish you'd never seen

I built these walls to keep everyone outside

The whip that strikes my back
The leash I put around my neck
I'm a slave to my own head
Each time I set a new rule
It's burning my skin

Slave to my own mind
My hands feel numb from holding on too tight
Scared to let go, scared to let go of the leash that I made
My neck feels numb
But still I carry on, I carry on
