The Difference

[Intro]

Life, life, life


[Verse 1]

How do you know way more than I do?

How do you have it all figured out?

How do you have connections with the truth, and know what everything we hear is all about?

Pain, how I feel don't got to be explained

I remain somewhere in the family of insane

My brain knows too much, but it knows nothin' at all

I've been called a liar, I've been called an addict

I've been at a low when the high is automatic

I've been needed a jacket in this freezin' planet

When the world was gonna end, I didn't even panic

I just want to know what happens when the dreamеrs vanish

I can hide it with a smile, so you won't see the damagе

Somebody once told me that I wasn't shit, I believed her

Tried to do anything to please her

But as I laid beneath her and realized I could no longer reach her

I fell out, and let her tell me I'm a sellout

No more help, I put this belt down

A battle in your own head is pretty common though

When you only exist through an audio stream

They wouldn't hear me if I screamed

They'll never know that they all are figments of a dream (Dream)

I wish I could just sit for a while (While), with no responsibility

Just observe all the other people and the words that they use

That would be some tranquility

Sometimes, I hate when they film me

Sometimes, the things in my mind become filthy

I just pray that I'm normal too, even though we all seek to be exceptional

That's why we invent the unconventional, and live life like it's just a festival

Nobody take me serious with all this gold

I just want the wisdom that you have when you get old

They say I gotta wait for that, but I never liked to do as I was told

When the world goes cold, no nutrients to grow, then will you be so bold? (Bold)

I kinda feel like I'm a piece of mold, ready to be cleaned by the system

Fuck, who am I kiddin'?

I got a world to change, I need to stop bitchin' (Bitchin'), truth


[Chorus]

The difference of addiction and use (Uh)

The difference between addiction and use (It's kind of funny)

The difference between addiction and use (The things unlike you make you feel comfortable)

The difference between addiction and use


[Verse 2]

As the world turns, and we wait to meet demise

Wonder if divine life meets us when the time's right

With no proof or scientific evidence, only then can believe and become relevant

Seek rebirth, need time to settle in

Then I'll get up again, and see the things I never did

Is this me speakin', or is it someone else?

Are these my own thoughts, or is it just the dope talkin'?

I've learned about life through love

So, how do we inform those of us who have never felt the touch of a goddess when she vulnerable?

I'm givin' my condolence to you

If you never felt that feelin', I just hope that you do

It's somethin' kind of hard to comprehend, when your life on the end

I leave things behind that always slip my mind

Because my mind is always elsewhere

I guess I feel myself there, a place where space is erased, I never felt scared

That's why givin' up feel satisfying

Didn't have to try to turn the water back to wine

The impossible is tempting, as an areola when it's there, never haven't felt aware

It's hard to breathe when you care, the moment I was drowning, you were coming up for air (Air)

I wish that I could make you understand, I just want to see my mother dance

If I fuck it up, I'm prayin' for another chance

You could never feel euphoria as lovers can (Lovers can)

I fuckin' am, I said I fuckin' am gone
