Lyrics:
“I mean the one question on my mind really is…
what are we?”
lately i’ve been having an identity crisis.
but at the same time, still manage to keep flying.
i can get into my head too much and it’ll hurt me,
so i’m glad i got this therapy my notebook is a journey.
so journey with me
until i get wheeled off in a gurney
and hopefully mentees and my family remember me
and to my friends current and past and future bid you love
giving out when i should save some of it for myself
been hanging out with some of my friends from years ago
playing demos catching up with them about themselves
talking up a storm about professional lives
talking about how some of our mutuals have wives
it’s crazy getting older and hearing about commitment like that
never thought that past graduation you guys would keep the pact
cause that’s an issue with myself that i’m so cynical
and what you give is what you get
i got it back tenfold
maybe it’s an issue with loving myself…
lately I’ve been thinking about the 27 Club
in the witching hour, fear that that club still gets members
the flames that burn twice as bright tend to melt quicker
and lately i’ve been fearing that i’ll prematurely die
even though I realize everybody has a time
but i fear that time’s ticking
anxiety still kicking in the door
just leave me alone I got work to do and more.
lately i’ve been having an identity crisis.
but at the same time, still manage to keep flying.
i can get into my head too much and it’ll hurt me,
so i’m glad i got this therapy my notebook is a journey.
so journey with me
until i get wheeled off in a gurney
and hopefully mentees and my family remember me
and to my friends current and past and future bid you love
giving out when i should save some of it for myself
identity is being compassionate outward
but it’s hard for me to point that compassion inward
and i can write all of it out into these words
but i gotta listen to it back until they’re truly heard
negativity can manifest in your life
when you focus on it instead of trying to make the opposite
i can say that out to you
but fail to follow through
with practicing my lessons to myself but not to you
and that’s my issue
i’m not looking out for me
I’m looking out for friends
and my younger siblings
if you wanna help me,
listen to the words i speak
hopefully
my specifics have relatability
the way i see myself is a different POV
i’ve been told, i’m too hard on myself just let it be
maybe in another life i’m born without this curse
of constantly being at odds within the mirror
“I mean the one question on my mind really is…
what are we?”
lately i’ve been having an identity crisis.
but at the same time, still manage to keep flying.
i can get into my head too much and it’ll hurt me,
so i’m glad i got this therapy my notebook is a journey.
so journey with me
until i get wheeled off in a gurney
and hopefully mentees and my family remember me
and to my friends current and past and future bid you love
giving out when i should save some of it for myself
Time’s ticking
Fuse
Time bomb
