Intro by Mellowood Lyrics
[Intro]
Did you say you can see it?
No I can't quite see it, tell me about it
It's...I can't tell you about it. If you can't see it then you'll just never know it. I feel sorry for you
[Hook]
Woke up from a nightmare
Just to see reality in front of me
I know I don't belong there
Just look what my fantasies have done to me (woah)
[Verse 1]
Man, I-I haven't seen the Sun for a minute
Can't stop these clouds and my mind from blocking my vision
Blinding me to what's in front of me
I've had my eyes closed for so long if they opened I don't know what I'd see
I'd probably see a version of myself I wouldn't know
Dap him up, ask him how's he's been and how he'll learn to overcome his fear and grow
And shed the shame and shed the walls and shed the doubt
He don't need 'em anymore
[Verse 2]
So why'd I try to live the life that I'm living?
Won't complain, I know what I'd been giving though
Almost like there's just something missing
Dark or light, can't tell the difference no more
I'm always at war with the burdens I wear
Don't know what for so I close all the doors
I lost myself so I look to my core where
I found my story the pages I tore
[Verse 3]
Trapped in these walls I call my mind
And God knows these demons in here don't play nice
They say what ends the tunnel is the light
Why can't I find it, man, I'm lost in all these feelings I can't hide
I've been searching long enough it's getting late
How much longer will it take
It's just me, myself, and I
I ain't got the strength to wait
Holding back the tears but they drown me all the same
Can't recover when I fight another battle every day
And now I know there's nothing I can say now
I can't explain, now, I promised mom I'll be okay, now
I just hate how, every day feels like a breakdown
Can't find my way out of this hole I dug myself in
And my biggest enemy is my reflection
Won't lie, it's been one hell of ride
Tryna beat this game of life
Man, these pieces on the board keep on moving side to side
And I feel the only shoulders I can lean upon are mine
Terrified of tomorrow, I know it's gon' be hard
[Verse 4]
Sometimes, in bed, at night
My head, will try, to make sure that
I know, that I, can't trust, myself
With my, own thoughts, 'cause they all tell me lies
I know, my mind, will try
To hide, the truth
'Cause the truth could help me see
All my mistakes that I can't face
No escape 'cause all I wanna do is run away
And I won't lie, can't hide
I just gotta get away
Don't like what's kept inside
I just gotta get a-
[Outro]
They all tell me lies (They all tell me lies)
They all tell me lies (They all tell me lies)
They all tell me lies (They all tell me lies)
They all tell me lies (They all tell me lies)
They all tell me lies (They all tell me lies)
They all tell me lies (They all tell me lies)
They all tell me lies (They all tell me lies)
They all tell me lies
You know I've been, uh
I've been thinking a lot lately and
I kinda realized that the more you run away from something, the more it follows you
Did you say you can see it?
No I can't quite see it, tell me about it
It's...I can't tell you about it. If you can't see it then you'll just never know it. I feel sorry for you
