[Intro]
Why do you seem so scared?
All I wanted to do is play with you
Please come and play with me
Do you wanna play hide and seek?
You hide, and I'll find you
[Hook: Crypt]
Cause I'm living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmare
These walls closing in
I'm feeling from within
Is there anybody out there?
I'm living in a nightmare
[Verse 1: CHVSE]
Oh, hi!
This is my mind (Hi)
How rude of me?
Wanna come inside? (Come in!)
Sorry for the mess
I don't got the time (Nope)
To clean it all up
But I take it outside
We can take it ouside
I'll be fightin' for my mind (Wait)
No I won't
Cause my therapist described
If I fight against you
Then I fight against me
And I'll never ever win
All I do is waste time
So just go ahead
You can throw a hit
You set the bar too high
Can you lower it?
I can't reach and everybody notices
That I got a real hard time gettin' over shit
Maybe that's true
Or maybe that's you
Always taunt me you told me what to do
Tellin' me to fight or tellin' me to run
I don't wanna run away from myself like you (Woo!)
My anxiety buildin', I'm scared of my shadows, they shadow my pain (Shadow my pain)
They put happy inside of my pills when I told them I'm sad and insane
But that happy don't work, it feels so unnatural, it battles my brain
And life ain't the same (Ha)
[Hook: Crypt]
Cause I'm living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmare
These walls closing in
I'm feeling from within
Is there anybody out there?
I'm living in a nightmare
[Verse 2: Crypt]
Woah (What?) is that me in the mirror? (Yeah)
I need to clean this glass, so I can see a little clearer
What the hell happened?
That's you man, what do you mean?
There's no way that this man's starin' back at me (Huh?)
When'd I get so big? Where'd my hairline go?
You've always looked like this, wait, you ain't even know?
No. What you think?
That every time that someone left you that they left for reasons on their own?
That they just packed their bags up and hit the road?
No. I don't mean to be the one to go and burst your bubble (True)
And care enough about you and make sure that this hurt is subtle (True)
About to dig so deep that we can reach it with a shovel (True)
People see your flaws but you're just peekin' through with tunnels (Urgh)
And I hate to break it to ya' but your raps ain't the greatest (No)
Kinda laugh that you think you're even halfway to famous (Haha)
Your career? (Huh?)
Sittin' still like it was stainless and your music hurt so many ears you'd think that we were sadist
But don't worry man, I got you
That's what I'm here for (Yeah)
To catch you when you fall
And bring you down some more (Let's go)
What? You don't like that?
Shit, too bad
Life ain't shit so cry to your mic and pad
(Right, Crypt, right?) It's the only time you make hits
(Write, Crypt, write) I wanna here that fucking page flip
(Right, bitch, right?) Yeah, I know this shit ain't fair
You said music is your dream but this dream is a nightmare
[Hook: Crypt]
Cause I'm living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmare
These walls closing in
I'm feeling from within
Is there anybody out there?
I'm living in a nightmare
[Verse 3: CHVSE]
Would you rather be alone or afraid? (Huh?)
Would you rather be disowned or betrayed? (Huh?)
Would you rather be a rapper that was planted or an independent artist with a road that he paved (Huh?)
Heh, that's what I ask myself, like "Hey CHVSE, who would you prefer?
Adam and Eve, A snake on a tree? Me, Jesus or Lucifer?" (Hahaha)
Ha, gotcha! We're the same person
We got the same thoughts and share the same purpose
Earth is nothin' but a Hell on the surface (Brr)
Hey doc! Medication ain't workin
Said I ain't a wordsmith, pick apart the verses
Fuck a punchline, I'm writin' "Therapy" in cursive
Just so I can work with, concerts and agents and bands
Cause bein' in a crowd makes me nervous
And that's so ironic, I laugh
Cause that's what you do when you rap
You write out your feelings on records, and tour it
Then sell it and meet all of your fans
Maybe I'm scared of my past
Or maybe I'm nervous of you
But either way, I hate what I'm turnin' into
[Hook: Crypt]
Cause I'm living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmare
These walls closing in
I'm feeling from within
Is there anybody out there?
I'm living in a nightmare
[Outro]
Hush little baby don't say a word
Momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird don't sing
Momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring
