[Intro]:
Ever feel like you're trapped in your own mind?
Like you're in your own prison cell?
A brain cell
[Verse 1]:
If I can't speak the truth then I'd rather be mute
The 9-5 grind felt like a waste of my youth
So many things in this life that I am planning to do
Either you sink or you swim in a world full of blue
What's the point of stacking money when you know that you'll die
I got wealthy from experiences; give it a try
I'll make my brain fit with a camel right through the eye
I'm taking mental notes on my culminating fight
Every now and then I reevaluatе all my standings
Why I do the things I do and think I reached an undеrstanding
Not sure of some decisions think I jumped without a landing
Wearing down over time like another round of sanding
Smarter than the average on my measuring stick
Yet I still drink my water, got enough for a sip
Application of my knowledge is the wisdom I wish
I can attain during my time on this earth as a mist
[Prelude]:
Really got me wondering sometimes; what's the point of it all?
Feel so trapped in my head sometimes, like I can't make it out
So how on Earth am I supposed to figure out what's going on?
Am I just here for the point of it?
Or is there a greater purpose
I don't know
[Verse 2]:
It's so funny when I take the time to think of myself
And all the ways that I'm a hypocrite I really need help
Making all these poor decisions just to kill off my health
Both the mental and the physical I'm feeling unwell
Picking fights just to feel something; what on earth is wrong with me
I know which nerves to hit so I touch 'em then I up and leave
Sick and tired of my habits, hate myself internally
Like what's the point of life if all I'm doing is destroying me?
I don't try to be negative, just what happens naturally
Shortly after that then it all ends in catastrophe
Every time I see you cry my first response is apathy
I'm headed way too fast head first into a tragedy
The mirror can't hide all the people I've let down
It's no wonder I'm so lonely when nobody comes around
I'm tiptoeing in my problems 'til I slip and miss the ground
I can't make it to the surface tell me how does drowning sound
