[Intro: Cristian Moya]

Don't really think I'm liking it in here

I don't feel good, 'cause I fear

Whoever may be standing in my ear

Is a hurtful, lonesome man, and


[Chorus: Cristian Moya]

I don't wanna say if it's just me

But, I feel like we've dug ourselves too deep

I wanna take a look around

And gather the lessons, gather the lessons

And realize

The answer is the question, and

I don't wanna

I won't fold

I need a bigger thought, another lesson

I don't wanna

I won't fold

I need a bigger thought, another question


[Verse 1: Zach Boucher]

Deep in the surface

I've been, searching for purpose

Certain I don't have a plan

Can barely say that I've been worth it

I've been hurtin, workin, learnin

Never said that I deserve this

I've been doing this for so long

Yet pick apart all my verses

I'm flawed, I get it

Some shit I say I've regretted

Can only put back the pieces

And that's the bar that I'm setting

I try to better myself

But couldn't without a lesson

I bottle this negativity

Point it like it's a weapon

I'm tryna write me a message

So I can read it back and polish

I learn from my mistakes

Way more than a book from college

I've got so many white lies

That I lock inside of the closet

No other option in this gossip

So I wouldn't break a promise

Yeah, I'm fucked

But I learn to try and deal with it

Never given up

Yet, at least, cause there's no fearing this

Do this for me peers that sticked

Drive my dreams, I'm steering bitch

Visions in my head that aren't just cleared just yet

I hope that y'all are hearing this, cause


[Chorus: Cristian Moya]

I don't wanna say if it's just me

But, I feel like we've dug ourselves too deep

I wanna take a look around

And gather the lessons, gather the lessons

And realize, the answer is the question, and

I don't wanna

I won't fold

I need a bigger thought, another lesson

I don't wanna

I won't fold

I need a bigger thought, another question


[Verse 2: Collective]

Bitchin' and complainin'

I've been stewing in this rumination

It's how I spend my Tuesday night

Sitting in my room and hatin'

I should be doing something

Till that I'm approved for greatness

Proving that this hatin'

Is rubbing off from the ruined graces

But I don't wanna bother

In fact, I'm doing nadda

I wanna pop off

Been walking all along the bottom

I'm like a river boat

That's up against a whole armada

Focused on the fear

That I'll be drowining in this fucking water

Standing for myself

Facing off against a titan

Should be taking notes from David

And his take on fightin'

I learned the lesson that these Goliaths just aren't as frightnin'

As long as you approach it right, you can fucking slay the giant

So here I go again

Preaching like I know what's up

Trying to share the lessons

That I learn while I am growing up

I'm not a wise man

But what I know is fairly simple

Every action that you make

Has an effect that ripples


[Outro: Cristian Moya]

I don't wanna say if it's just me

I still feel there's secrets I should keep

I wanna take a look around

And gather the lessons, and gather the lessons

And realize, the answers are the questions, and

I don't wanna

I won't fold

I need a bigger thought, another question
