missing cornerstone

[Hook: CER10]

Built this house all on my own

But I missed the cornerstone

Made it all into a frame

Worked my fingers to the bone

Under my skin

Toiled in vain

While it feels like something else

It's really more of the same


[Verse 1: A1TH]

Think I do too much

Yet, I've always done none

Think I'll make it out the rut

Don't leave myself time

To do the things that I enjoy

I procrastinate too much

Everything I do is for a letter or a comment

I do nothing for myself, and I don't want to acknowledge

That I crossed my line, I know, but I ain't even draw it

I am blaming it on them, but I'm the one that makes it hardest (Hardest)

The more that I go on, the further I feel I departed

From the issue, every second is a second closer to a coffin

Racking up my losses, I don't take responsibility

I lack humility, which depletes my stability, uh

It's frustrating when everything I thought was an escape

Becomes a chore, can't do this anymore

Been stressed lately, dragging things I need to do over long times

Won't make me want to do them more

Been searching for the end

And I've reached mine

I've reached mine


[Hook: CER10]

Built this house all on my own

But I missed the cornerstone

Made it all into a frame

Worked my fingers to the bone

Under my skin

Toiled in vain

While it feels like something else

It's really more of the same

[Post-Hook: CER10 & A1TH]

Mm

Ooh (Hahaha...)

Toiled in vain (Yeah)


[Verse 2: A1TH]

Killing myself just to reach an unrealistic standard

It's all my fault I'm asking why my questions left unanswered

Focusing on what they think of me has got me anchored

Depending on material winnings is not the answer

I need to stop it, with letting that decide my worth

I portray myself as different, yet, that shit just doesn't work

Scared that when they say they like me, it's all fake, it's all rehearsed

Cannot focus on important shit, I'm knee-deep in my hurt

I'm losing something else (Yeah!)

Mirrors all lie, that can't be myself (Bow!)

I love you

But I'm not any help


[Outro: A1TH]

I'm not any help
