My emotions are on drugs and I feel too much
Some like to feel nothing, but I like to feel loved
They keep tryna show love, but they only show lust
Please stop tryna call me I don’t wanna cuss
Because people say they like to love and then they like to change
The more things stray, the more they stay the same
My hearts been the same but every time it gets a little more rearranged
As we wait out the days just to watch stalemates
And I know that I think too much but that’s my issue
Been tryna grow my support but no one’ll listen
Been tryna break...

Stories
And I tried.. You know all I ever do is try
I get by.. But all I ever do is get by
Signs, signs of misconception and feeling like no one knows you best
In time, your family just feel like they turned friends
Crying myself a river to see myself as myself
No one else will ever know
Crying myself a river so I can let it out
No one will understand, we write our own stories
So let it out, let it out, let it out
So sick of love and sick of clout
So much anxiety in my head
The ones who care come by but the ones who don’t...

You did this
Woke up this morning and I couldn’t stop thinking
Had a dream again that would hurt me deeply
Sitting there with friends that I knew and then I saw her
Not a line, not a word and it left me broken
It’s so hard to think she thought it was better to leave than deal with problems
Made a commitment she couldn’t keep and it did everything but solve them
Spent all her time making me lose my faith
Instead of owning up to her wrongs, she would spit them in my face
Now I’m losing days
Lost in my head and just a little off the pace
Gripping to hold on...

Waiting for the Sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine × 4
Yeah
I got a chip on my shoulder
As I’m getting older
You better kill me to take my last breath
I fucking love being sober, I’m not a drinker
That’s not what my dad said
So sit on the edge, I’ll be back again
It’s all for my lonely conscience
Grow like a flower
Die like a weed
I’m getting stressed out
A little bit broken
People get called out for shit they don’t mean
So cry me a river, overdose my medication
We can cry as we take our last breaths
Waiting for the sunshine ...

Lost love
Yeah, it’s time
It’s time to start
Speaking to your lost loves
Telling all the facts and the pain that added up to the reason that they lost us
About the nights we would sit on the edge of the bed with our heads in our hands
Thinking bout how life’s tough
Thinking bout how life sucks
Thinking bout times when we just wanted someone to talk to so we could let go and we could fess up
But that’s just bad luck
We keep confusing love with our bad lust
Tryna move forward but I’m done stuck
I just wanna call you but I don’t wanna cuss
So...

Spirits
My mind is in two, my feelings are like spirits
Dead and cold, just waiting for someone to notice
I try to clear my head and get shit off my chest through these lyrics
But I’m looking at no reflection when I’m staring in this mirror
So what if I told you that I’m not okay?
Get reassured I’m okay but I’m not okay and I’m quiet because that’s all I’ve got to say
Don’t want no pity and I don’t want no hate
Sometimes I just wanna talk and be vulnerable, it’s the only way I can escape
Sometimes I turn to God and pray when I’m not religious but it’s the...

Survive - Part 2? (Prequel?)
I’m trying my best to solve problems in life
But problems with you hurt more than they should
Every time that we fall out it feels like a fight
I fall to the floor and cover my eyes, I don’t have the strength, I’m not in the mood
To fight with you, I’m not in control of my mind
So they build up, the problems will pile
We’re in limbo again, our thoughts in denial
Feeling worse than we should and further apart
Than being together but these feelings are dumb
Not feeling the love nor feeling the lust
What have we become? We’ll fade into dust ...

Survive - Part 1?
We all have issues and things we have to solve with our mental health
I don’t understand the things you have dealt with, but as you can tell I can try
You said you have scars on you that you have to hide but to me I will love them as they are part of yourself
I’m just trying to do my best to make someone happy while I’m living happy so we can be alive and survive
Yeah, I don’t wanna be left with a mark in my heart that’s the size of your life
Because if I lose you, I don’t know what to do, will I give up? I just might
This isn’t good for the soul, this isn’t...

Denial
How am I meant to know about my scars and how they were dealt
When I crossed no lines and I don’t even know myself
Too much time panicking and worrying due to my mental health
That I let go of my heart and then it melt
So sick of taking stuff for granted or being taken for granted
I tried to grow through time but the seeds were already planted
In the wrong place and in a place of disaster
Just know when I said I loved you, that every single time I meant it
Paths are crossed and lives are lost
People are killed and people take pills
So why do I...

History
I wasted my time, done my things wrong and turned what I thought into rapping
All I want is to be allowed to be honest so that I’m allowed to be true and be happy
We work our lives to be happy
We crave things that are different
But with all that I’ve seen and what’s happened
I just wanted someone to listen
Gotta get this shit out my system
I don’t need space, I don’t need distance
I need to be efficient, I need to be free so I can turn my work into history
History to remember
Not history that is forgotten
I wanna be known as a guy that...

12:20AM
It’s 20 past 12 in the morning
I’m awake when I should be snoring
Don’t know what to do, don’t know what path to take
Am I getting left behind or am I getting shown a sign?
I should be busy falling asleep but I’m busy falling awake, yeah
Awake yeah
Days were good but they finish with aching
Roller coasters all around and my head is spinning
I’m just tryna be the good guy but I end up feeling like Satan
I wish there was some part of me that got saving lately
How can times be so good but feel so bad
Do things like this and that...

You
Respond to every thing that I send
You don’t steal everything that I lend
Go to sleep at the time that I rest
And I told you before that my life’s been wrecked
But if there’s a God, tell him I’m blessed
Sometimes it hurts
Feeling like this it hurts
I’m glad you understand the things I’ve seen and you don’t ever leave me in the dirt
And it gets crazy, sometimes I cry for the pleasure
Open up my heart, talk back from the start
Then you pour your heart full of treasure
So when I say I need you thoroughly
It means that you’re not just...
