I mean, I can't help but feel out of place lately
I look around, I got nothing in common with these people
I see straight through the bullshit
What's the use?
I knew a guy who took his own life
I guess at the time that was his logical answer
But I also knew a guy who fought for his life
Till the second that he died fighting off the cancer
Well *, that's got me thinking about a couple of things
Got me thinking about this lifestyle that I've been juggling
Lately I've been struggling to find a * reason to keep on breathing
I'm literally dying to become a king
Overstressed, stepping closer to death
My heart is poking my chest as I pray and hope for success
But * it, what does it mean to succeed?
Is it the need to achieve and to keep on feeding your greed?
As your ego increases, cause people see you as it
The hero, but in that mirror's the fear that zero people can see
Blind are leading the blind, weak are leading the weak
And the mountain's forever growing, you're never reaching your peak
Because yo, the more we get, well then the more we want
You think you have it all, but then there's more beyond
That's got me thinking about this path that I've been walking on
Who's gonna give a * about my story when the glory's gone?
Alone in a room with people, surely not
All we got is a bunch of strangers in the audience
It's like it hasn't gone according to plan
You thought you caught it?
Yeah, you thought you had it all in your hands
Until it slipped
That feeling you've recorded for fans don't mean *
If you ain't you when you're performing your dance
You took a risk, and I guess you got rewarded with chance
Until you took it all for granted and used it all to advance
You used your power for bad
And through your prowess you've amounted to a cowardice man
And now you're trying to plant your flowers in sand
But you became a slave to all the days and the hours that it demands
I think it's time to move aside like a sliding door
Is it respect or their acceptance that I'm fighting for?
I guess that ignorance is bliss
And I can try ignore the pain that it's been causing me
But I would rather die before I do that
I think it's time that I move back
I think I'm close to disappearing like the truth has
Or am I too trapped in this to run?
And looking back as a kid in this, every minute was fun
And every word that was written, I only did it with love
See, I once had a vision of what I didn't become
I thought my happiness depended on this
But now I clearly see the * that I was fed was a myth
And lately I've been left in the pits
Trying to get through the mist
Feeling like I wasn't meant to be
Trying to exist
But maybe if we're blessed with a gift
Then maybe it wasn't for us
But for the people that were sent to assist
Well *, think about that
And if you need it, then take a minute to stew on it
It's so typical of people to ruin it
So typical to forget the reason we started doing this
It's like we've all lost touch with the pureness
And now we're never down to earth like a stewardess
I guess the spectacle of fame must allude with this
But trust me when I tell you that it isn't what the cure is
And it's far too many of us to be the cure for this
I can't help but look at some of my peers
And then question their integrity and intention
I'm just venting cause * ain't how it really appears
Now it's clear, I throw a prayer up to the sky
I speak to Hunter wishing I could hear my brother reply
I'm like bro, this industry is nothing but lies
I used to wonder how you hated it
But lately I'm discovering why
All these people that seem to love a disguise
The only choice left is to cut all the ties
I feel a rumble in my stomach like there's something inside
Saying call it quits and wave this motherfuckin' flag
Or goodbye for good
And *, maybe I should
I don't know, maybe I should
Yeah, maybe I should
Just say goodbye for good
And wave you all goodbye
*
