[Intro]

There’s a tiny office building in your head

Filled with many busy executives

Who make all your decisions for you

Each executive has a monkey demon on his back

Who makes him work hard and each demon has another demon on his back

And those demons have demons (Demons, demons)

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I bet they love me when I’m dead and gone

Yeah, and everybody’s gonna sing me songs

See, I’ve been trying to get along

But don’t nobody know my name

And I’ve been sick of playing around with all these fucking games

And way before I lost my mind and got my wrist tatted

It sounded great when no one knew me and I didn’t matter

I didn’t care about the music, I just hated how I felt

And so I did all of the drugs trying to find myself

Homie, yes, I be spitting this from the bedroom floor

When no one thought I'd be anything better than a pilled out poet

Owned it from the ground up

Started writing down some—

Things that I was feeling

I didn’t know that I found love

And If I’m being real, I still don’t know where I been going

Blowing candles out at every birthday with a wish to show me

Cuz I’m afraid of what's gon’ happen if I don’t make it

But more afraid of what'll happen if I do, so—

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I got some issues creeping up that I will still ignore

I got some friends who might be dead but we don’t talk no more

And my girl tripping, still worried 'bout my mental—

Health and I don’t want to take the pills that they give you

Issues, running maybe I ain’t dying yet

Cuz even in depression, I’m a goddamn stubborn mess

This rollercoaster isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be

And I’m just waiting for the day that I can leave

[Chorus]

I know, all the light will fade before I go

And this life, this feels like a cycle

Yeah around it goes and then around it goes and then around it goes

I know, all the light will fade before I go

And this life, this feels like a cycle

Yeah around it goes and then around it goes and then around it goes

[Verse 2]

Now everybody has a change of heart

I take apart my own to find where I went wrong, but don’t know where to start

And all the music shit's amazing, till it’s not

And I don’t know how long this high is gonna last, so I just keep it up

These matters of emotion, trying to keep the focus

Working on a perfect combination for a magic potion—

To happiness but it's impossible to tell

Because the grass is always greener when you water everybody else

Yeah, said I would never be anything, what do you know?

When I get to looking around at the people at shows

And all of them know the words

And sing them back like they’re letting go—

Of the pain I know I’ll never have to be alone

Cuz inside we’re all the same

We run from everything

Low blows and wedding rings

Slow go down lone roads

And don’t cope with anything

Sometimes I wonder if this love will go away

Cuz, it's still impossible to sleep so—

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I got some issues creeping up that I will still ignore

I got some friends who might be dead but we don’t talk no more

And my girl tripping, still worried 'bout my mental—

Health and I don’t want to take the pills that they give you

Issues, building, maybe I won’t make it yet

Cuz even when I’m winning I don’t know how to take a breath

This roller coaster isn’t anything I thought it’d be

And I’m just waiting for the day that I can sleep

[Chorus]

I know, all the light will fade before I go

And this life, this feels like a cycle

Yeah around it goes and then around it goes and then around it goes

I know, all the light will fade before I go

And this life, this feels like a cycle

Yeah around it goes and then around it goes and then around it goes

[Outro]

(Round it goes, round it goes)

(I know, all the light will fade before I go)

(And this life, this feels like a cycle)

(Yeah around it goes and then around it goes and then around it goes)
