Lifeless by Joseph Idoko Lyrics
[Verse]
These walls, look like cages
The world inside of my mind is just starting to look like pages
Inside of some fuckin' book that's been falling apart for ages
And people say it gets better, but I just think that's outrageous
Don't care about being famous, never conjured the patience
It's all just some simulation of livin' inside some matrix
That nothing except my ego and expectations created
Makin' paper, don't need no piece of paper to say I made it
Let me breathe, what I tell myself in my sleep
And I see a wall of happiness manifest front of me
Then I reach out to shake its hand, and it turns right into a key
To a million fuckin' doors that I can't even fuckin' see
Everybody always says happiness is inside of me
That's bullshit, all I got is this fuckin' anxiety
With its hands around my throat every time that I try to breathe
And its hands on top of my mouth every time that I try to speak
And I live my life in this fucked-up world
And I seen these rocks, and I seen these pearls
And it feels like one's always in my zone
As it builds on up, as it makes my home
I done lost my life when I turned thirteen
Then I got some back, but it's not for me
I just feel this pain in my heart and chest
I just feel so lost, I just feel depressed
Nothing less
These walls, look like cages
The world inside of my mind is just starting to look like pages
Inside of some fuckin' book that's been falling apart for ages
And people say it gets better, but I just think that's outrageous
Don't care about being famous, never conjured the patience
It's all just some simulation of livin' inside some matrix
That nothing except my ego and expectations created
Makin' paper, don't need no piece of paper to say I made it
Let me breathe, what I tell myself in my sleep
And I see a wall of happiness manifest front of me
Then I reach out to shake its hand, and it turns right into a key
To a million fuckin' doors that I can't even fuckin' see
Everybody always says happiness is inside of me
That's bullshit, all I got is this fuckin' anxiety
With its hands around my throat every time that I try to breathe
And its hands on top of my mouth every time that I try to speak
And I live my life in this fucked-up world
And I seen these rocks, and I seen these pearls
And it feels like one's always in my zone
As it builds on up, as it makes my home
I done lost my life when I turned thirteen
Then I got some back, but it's not for me
I just feel this pain in my heart and chest
I just feel so lost, I just feel depressed
Nothing less
