Scenic Route

I'm bad at dealing with feelings when they ain't rational
But now I'm asking, yo, where did all the passion go?
It's quite a challenge to try and see it clearer
Trying to find a balance as I'm looking in the mirror
But what's the point of running from
Your problems if you're one of them?
Chasing a bag, once you get it, there's another one
I ain't lying, I'm just stating the facts
Success is but a moment before it fades into black
And I'd hate it if I would never get to see you again
Same time I'm scared you'll tell me just to leave it again
Write a message, delete it again
Tried to break it down like a science, but it ain't as exact
She got me high like a fire in a dispensary
I admired her energy, this girl's a gift and a curse
Some numbed it with drugs, man, I just did it with work
Now I'm sitting on this park bench, trying to finish this verse

(No reason or rhyme)
I'm just trying to get d'evils out
(No reason or rhyme)
On my pursuit of happiness, I took the scenic route

And I know it gets easier over time
But it's hard to fucking deal when there ain't no reason or rhyme
And seeing as I'm a hopeless fucking romantic
I'ma keep it in mind while I'm feeling broken and frantic
One beat at a time, one season a moment
Earn a scar per DM while I'm seizing the moment
Don't want to see her, don't know how to behave
And stop trying to save her when she don't wanna be saved
I remember you put my hand on your chest, and
Now I'm really nervous to even ask you a question?
Writing verses, never learning my lesson?
Obsessive behavior, never serving my best interest
This girl's a curse and a blessing
I knew her on the surface, fell in love with her empathy
She got me high like a fire in a dispensary
I admired her energy
And now she wants to be friends with me?

(No reason or rhyme)
I'm just trying to get d'evils out
(No reason or rhyme)
On my pursuit of happiness, I took the scenic route

(Let the demons out)
(With a passion)
(Let the demons out)
(The demons out)
I'm just trying to get d'evils out
(Let the demons out)
(With a passion)
(The demons out)
I'm just trying to get d'evils out
(Let the demons out)
(With a passion)
(The demons out)
On my pursuit of happiness, I took the scenic route
