Lyrics
1 time if you're playing to win
Give a damn what game you're in
They give a damn what goal you've got
When they know you're not
Who you claim you've been
2 times if you wanna let go
3 times if you wanna be new
So you plot, and you plan
But somehow still never see through
4 times cause I love my past
5 times if I count that charge
It's a must cause a bust couldn't bust
that confidence that remains at large
But I've gotta lay low cause I know cause I know
I grow
I've gotta lay low cause I know cause I know
It'll show
So should I change who I am?
Tell me why should I give a damn
what's thought of me and this ought to be
easy to understand, but it's not
No, no, no it's not
But if you had told me things would have worked out
I would've thought you were full of shit
I did not, did not, not see the light
I did not, did not, not see the light
Since you had said that things could be different
I just assumed that you wanted it
I did not, did not, not see the light
I did not, did not, not see the light
6 times am I in your head?
7 times that I've had that thought
Deep breaths, exhale
But I'm judged and I've had that taught
Who I am?! Shit I've had that fought
The real me?! Shit I've had that wrought
Shaped into what you think is best
But trust, the old me, I've had that sought
8 times to this 8th right here
9 times Imma hit this blunt
But at what point is this need?
And at what point is this want?
And at what point is this gonna catch up to me
and will it slow me down?
10 times for 10 friends from back then
who don't know me now
But if you had told me things would have worked out
I would've thought you were full of shit
I did not, did not, not see the light
I did not, did not, not see the light
Since you had said that things could be different
I just assumed that you wanted it
I did not, did not, not see the light
I did not, did not, not see the light
Out of my comfort zone
Had to get out on my own
and it's got me feeling alone
Like when I'm stuck in my room
No luck only gloom
With no one to fuck,
I'm fucked oh I'm doomed
But happy of it, happy to quit
All of my lyrics are sappy as shit
Collections of thoughts, I used to section them off
Cause people address them as soft
I don't need to do too much no rush
A little bit'll keep you calm and that's no faith required
That's no faith desired
But if you want that then that's yours
Maybe this so called soul can soar?
Maybe, either way I've learned
to appreciate what I've got,
and to love the things that I am,
and to love the things that I'm not,
and to keep my head held high,
to live and not to get by,
to recall my roots but to let them go,
to not let getting high let me get low
and I know
I got my vices
and my crutches for my crisis
that ain't there to begin with
But you know I don't care to pretend it
I need pity please I need sympathy
Need you to feel this pain need empathy
Don't rescue me, don't get me
I need somebody I can drag down with me
No one? Y'all are just faking, telling me a
free ride isn't worth taking
Well if you do decide that you choose to ride
Just let me know whenever
We can go down together
We can go round wherever
Shit just you and I
Just me and you, it'd just be us two
and I could lead us to a downfall
Down a slippery slope, you're given me hope that I'm not alone after all
So is it wrong to say that I like the way that you're making me feel?
You say you're feeling fine but are you really lying and could you not be real?
Look I know were going down, soon gonna drown
and It's rising over your head
So do you wanna go and get sunk below
or do you wanna just tread?
