[Verse 1] Really I think its time to get the dust moving I always do this to myself and never trust choosing Is there a bright side to this darkness or am I just losing? The path Ive taken led me here so whys it so confusing? Recently Ive been pushin it down to hide discreetly Neatly like Im packin up baggage and keep it deeply Repeating what Ive heard until Im fuckin up completely And I seem to do this over on a basis of the weekly A cold man who walks alone but you just pass him by Youll never see the pain inside just beneath the eyes He goes home and an empty room is what he finds Day after day just tryna come up with a decent line To grant the validation hes been seekin to the ends Because he never got respect from his family and friends But letting out the stress is how he hopes to cleanse When hes looking at the world through a cloudy broken lens [Hook] Tried to let you know When I felt like letting go I gave it up, I gave up Tried to keep it closed When Im feeling so exposed I let you go, I let go Tried to let you know... know... know That I... felt like letting go Tried to keep it closed When Im feeling so exposed I let you go I let go [Verse 2] Im just a tortured soul lookin for some clarity But tryna find it in this world is a rarity I dont need pity and I sure dont want your charity Acceptin that would turn me into somethin like a parody But its okay cause I can brave this bitter maze And I know when I get through it Ill be seein better days Ill be honest Im not the kind of guy that has the mental strength Been tryin for a while but Im frightened by that center stage Its takes me everything I have to try to put my all in Im steppin closer to the edge but keep my foot from fallin Been tryna find somebody that can talk but they aint callin Probably withdrawlin from the crystal while Im up here stallin Guess thats how it goes in The City of Sin Wake up from the night before feelin shitty again Those drugsll fuck you up Ive been there felt the pity within Because I saw the way my life became so gritty and grim [Verse 3] Ive been meanin to let this shit out for a while And help you understand the reason Im stuck in denial Id love to write a verse that gets you to smile But I think that kind of poetry just isnt my style At least I know that someone out there has to relate Contradicting what the people in my past would say Practicing my art and working on the craft everyday Movin fast blazin passed all of the trash in my way So take a second glance, you know you still got a chance Even if youre seein darkness try your hardest, youll advance You got it in you I know it so go for broke Let em feel the pain in every word that you wrote You dont gotta make it big, to prove that youre not a joke Ive seen the way that you mope, around when youve lost hope But you can cope, youre more than what youve scribbled on a note So keep your head up high, dont lose sight of the only goal thats in your scope
