Nowhere Fast - Intellectual

[Manic TL]

Yo, sometimes I'm numb and I can't tell what kind of hell this is

The world is in my hands, I'll probably drop it on some selfish shit

I can't count the Ls I twist, I just drown inside the smoke

We been known that life's a bitch, I'm trying to cuff her to my posts

Trying to learn the ropes, still learning to make it by

I lose people all the time, I'm still learning to say goodbye

I scour across the land, hoping there's something I can find

But the moon is shining so bright, it's hard to open my eyes

I try to do right, never do right, where was I wronged?

I'll write a million contradictions in a million songs

My psyche torn like doc Jеkyll and Hyde

From nighttime to the morn, I knock dеvils aside

I don't believe in luck, but that's easy said from the lucky

I might believe in love, but for now that's clearly above me

I know a hundred honeys who wish I'd give them a chance

But I need to give myself one, wish I done that in advance

We are going nowhere fast

Speeding straight while trying to make corrections to the past

If they're asking where I'm going, I'm just hauling my ass

I'm just going and going, I'm gone have a hell of a blast

Now they're saying he's a travesty

I was always me, just maybe not how you imagined me

Always speak the truth, I came a long way from the fallacies

Scaffolding blocking out my sun, so I guess it's my balcony

People nod or shout at me, there's little between

On the road to arcadia, or somewhere just as serene

Most our devils are made of us, even if you don't believe

It's worth evaluating when and where they all came to be

(jeez)

I'm just trying to polish my pieces before they're ruined

See, everything's easy when you ain't the one who's got to do it

But, I'm the one who's got to do it, so, I'm kind of anxious

Feelings make it easier and easier not to say shit

Face it- I face the facts and I'm far from complacent

But the weight leaving my shoulders is otherworldly amazing

Sometimes what I've been looking for is so close I can taste it

But on the same shit, it feels like I'm running it place
