My heart don't work the same as it used to

Usually I'm more jovial and juvenile

But shit hits the fan quicker than I can manage to scrub it off

Covering wounds with ripped bandages to pull them off

Life ain't a heist but I could show you all the plotting that I did just to pull it off

All in fear of hearing that death rattle, the skull and cross bones

I got more battlefields to trek through

And dusty thoughts to mull across

Than I can count

So pull up an amount that I can laugh at

Ripping through memories in that glad bag

Wish I could say that it wasn't all that bad or that sad

But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't that trash

If I told you half of that shit

If you knew the reasons I could call this shit quits

Low key hard to have to find a reason to live

When the world already doesn't want to see us exist in it

I talk more in these songs about my introspective thoughts

Than the fact that the cost of living's meant to kill us off

Foreign soil, oil money's really my culture

Flew out the nest and saw my people are all vultures

Heart in our collective chest is getting hardened

For personal freedom, people's bodies treated like a bargaining chip

I know damn well that I got smaller fish to fry

Sometimes my problems look so harlequin

Thousands of innocent people in piles

Historical context lost to ignorant denials

My doom scrolling ass is really part of that problem

Ironic that we laugh when we listen to George Carlin

Chronically numb when we lose people in a shooting

Evil corporation raised the prices and so we loot it

I know people who love Jesus Christ and get zooted

Whatever you can do to get used to the narrative that we're losing

It's all ruthless and it's pointless

I'm scrolling on my iPhone while some people get exploited

It's all ruthless and it's pointless

I'm scrolling on my iPhone while some people get exploited

It's all ruthless and it's pointless

I'm scrolling on my iPhone while some people get exploited

It's all ruthless and it's pointless

I'm scrolling on my iPhone while some people get exploited
