[Intro]

I push my

I push my

Push

Yea

Push push push

Push the feels back

Aight here it go


[Chorus]

I push my feelings to the back

I couldn't let them see me lack

I keep on holding myself back

I swear I need to get on track


[Verse 1]

Supressing the passion

Passing the cup

Running amuck in the ashes

Phoenix rebirthed way too passive

Burning from the inside out

Silently tryna combust

Still ain't enough

I just can't figure it out

Tell me what life is about

I been here grinding and thinking and working

This hurt is just killing me now

I'm tryna hold onto power

But this energy is gone

These memories never was strong

But my last life was last night

I dreamt I had the world in a glass pipe

So it went up in flame and smoke and such

I really don't know too much

But I keep on pressing

Trusting my feels and chasing a blessing

Learning these lessons on lessons

I struggle in search of a weapon

To kill my mind

Wipe it out

Clean my mind

Clear the doubt

And kill some time

Cause the Devil still on that swing set


[Chorus]

I push my feelings to the back

I couldn't let them see me lack

I keep on holding myself back

I swear I need to get on track


[Verse 2]

Deep down I know that I'm wasting away

Not making the most of days

But nigga, what can I say

All of these feelings is here then gone

But the screams never die down

Voices wanna know if I can die now

I'm sure that'll solve my problems

Then you gotta face all of these facts

That's why I bleed out on all of these tracks

So I can stop pushing all these thoughts back

Back back back back back

Running from every obstacle

I heard that all was possible

What does that make of impossible, huh?


[Chorus]

I push my feelings to the back

I couldn't let them see me lack

I keep on holding myself back

I swear I need to get on track

I push my feelings to the back

I couldn't let them see me lack

I keep on holding myself back

I swear I need to get on track


[Outro]

Tony: Do you dream? Or should I say, can you put a price on your dreams? Or the dreams of the less fortunate in this world? Is there a price to them? Or are you willing to spare to inability to change what is wrong in this world? You see, I had a dream. But I too, walked away for it. You know, I ignored it, I had no time for it. Does it sound familiar to you? Yes? I know, my dear. But, you see, ladies and gentlemen, I was saved by a miracle. By Doctor Parnassus! He gave me my life back again. He gave me reason to dream. He took me to the waterfall of happiness, and I was reborn. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you now. I have been... No, I am purified."
