[Verse 1]

Every time I go outside I just be second guessing

Gut feelings got me thinking, got me feeling threatened

I hugged my family extra hard today because I felt like I just might get caught in in a crossfire with a deadly weapon

But who knows? That’s the power that it has on me

Cause anything could happen, if you think not then it’s blasphemy

And everything has a reason, well why is my town in agony

I’m surrounded by many grief and feel like this could be the last of me

Don’t take that wrong though, I’m staying while I can

Progressing through evеryday trying to be a better man

Just need somеwhere to vent, and let out all my emotions

This paranoia is stressful, controlling me like a potion

This isn’t exactly a cry out for help

But if I didn’t let this out, then I’d be lying to myself

And if I get big, then I’ll be scared of dying for wealth

So sometimes I gotta hide and stay inside for my health

[Verse 2]

I need a break

I hate that I’m so scared of my demise

One minute taking a walk, next thinking I’m gonna die

I’m messed up in the head, could see the fear in my eyes

It’s like I’m already dead, remember me and my life

Remember me and don’t let me wither into oblivion

I’m held back cause of me, could care less about your opinion

I made this track myself, I’m the furthest thing from you middle men

But when a minor’s breaking the scale, they just diminish it

Step into a car and it feels like signing a death warrant

Let me stay until my death is the end of the best story

I plan to make a few changes and then make many more

Self-made and self titled, like I was Paramore

I’m writing my wrongs, but I can’t be selling my soul on retail

In spite of my losses, I must adapt to them as I prevail

All I need is to know that my family will be well

But everything’s different when you look into it with detail, it's Tox

[Interlude]

It’s really just to me being able to vent or showcase yourself and release it to the public

Venting is like the main thing for me

Being able to vent while also making something so beautiful out of all of, like, your mental problems and stuff like that, and like life experiences

It’s just something I really enjoy doing and I’m glad that I found that enjoyment out of something because there have been a lot of of things that I’ve started to enjoy, but I like, grew out of

But this doesn’t feel like something I’ll ever, like, look away from

[Verse 3]

Life gets rough when I close the curtains

I get low, my mind is dispersed

When I’m alone, I’m a whole different person

I go numb so I don’t get hurt

I lay dreaming about life or death

Think about the people who lost my respect

Don’t like to relive it, it’s hard to forget

The world’s a loose cord, it’s hard to connect

I been going through trials and tribulations

I’m just tryna keep my mind in check

Contemplating harm in all situations

But I just move, I’m onto the next

I’m on a straight path, the 195

Cruising down passenger, too young to drive

Then I realize their hands on my life

My mind just keeps telling me I won’t survive

But I’m still alive

[Outro]

Paranoia (I been paranoid, I been paranoid)

Oh paranoia, paranoia, oh (I been paranoid, I been paranoid)

Paranoia (I been paranoid, I been paranoid)

Oh paranoia, paranoia, oh (I been paranoid, I been paranoid)
