{Verse 1: Kid Neptune}

I been feelin' less than a mothafuckin' statue

The only feeling coming from just somethin' I'm attached to

And I slip away little bit more than I planned to

Cannot find the answer after the doors that I pass through

My dreams are runnin' away

I need em comin' today

And my mind is locked up when I got somethin' to say

So imma need the key

Need to be my one only self

But like a magnet, when I do it everybody repels

I need space but that shit is fuckin' breakin' me

'Cuz I can't escape the fuckin' shadow that be chasin' me

Basically, my mind is lockеd up, do I save the key?

Ask mysеlf do I keep it shut or do I make a scene?

Like what the fuck locked it in the first place?

Why stay quiet when I'm goin' through my worst pain?

Only tellin' music so I write and let the words say

Losin' every second I can only come in third place

I been holdin' on to things I'm scared to break

Like my heart, and a couple others feelings at stake but

I been spending more time than I make

And my mountains gettin' frosted

I think I'm gonna flake

{Verse 2: Kid Neptune}

Sometimes I feel like I dug myself a hole

And now I'm too deep and I don't know where to go 'cuz

Sometimes it hurts more than it makes me happy

I'm dreamin' of the mountain but livin' in a valley

I'm dreamin' of a life where I know I could be stabilized

But my heart yellin' that it never wanna say goodbye

Feel the fire fading, I'm just tryna keep this flame alive

Tryna keep you in the picture even through the faded lines

But sometimes I wonder if I deserve anyone

War against my heart, but I know that it already won

Think it's a utopia but that means I'ma die alone

'Cuz the only one I open up to is my microphone

{Bridge: Kid Neptune}

Even though you shine above the sun

It's the rain before where that came from

When the clouds surround

I cry and watch the sky fall

Even tho I smile when I feel the love

It's the pain that I never knew would come

I'ma fight the bad

'Cuz I know that it's my fault

So do I stay, and wait, or flake from you?

{Verse 3: Kid Neptune}

Hard to open up to anyone about what's botherin' me

Breakin' up my heart but, maybe that's the Tyler in me

Maybe that's the monster in me

The demon that be conquerin' me

Tryna run away but maybe that's that father in me (fuck)

Maybe I overthink

Maybe I'm jottin' for no reason and

Maybe I wastin' ink but

Maybe it's the fall that I fear I'm tryna soften

It feelin' good finally gettin' out all my problems like

When you with me

And I'm with you

I hope you never ever ever gettin' deja vu

About the people you seen

About times that you had

Sorry it gets to my head

Even I know it's my bad

But I just can't ever help it

Feel like it's tryna consume

The pace of my mind

The air thinnin' out in the room

So I'm sorry

Guess I can blame it on my cripplin' mind

But I guessin' that makes it easy if I dip when it's time

Haut et bas

Nos mondes se heurtent

Guerre d'amour
