[Verse 1: Russ]

Wait, wait, wait

Why you creeping? You don't wanna see what time I'm on

Wait, wait, wait

Now I'm leaving, you don't wanna see what time I'm on

Wait, wait, wait

You wanna play that game, well, so do I

Wait, wait, wait

You wanna hide all day, all day, all night

Wait, wait, wait


[Verse 2: Saleka]

I feel

My body disappear

This nightmare feels so real

You're all I want my dear, my dear, my dear


[Chorus: Saleka]

Can't breathe with this on my chest

It's getting dire

Greed gon' make me confess

All my desires

Leave me, it's for the best

I can't keep hiding from myself

From myself, from myself

Hiding from myself


[Verse 2: Russ]

Perpetual punishment is what I put myself through

Lack of self-forgiveness is the reason I can't move

Shacklеd to the lack of reconciling with my past

I don't feel safe, I makе mistakes, I need to brace for impact

When, in fact, letting go lowers the knife that I'm holding

To my own throat but maybe I don't like not knowing

Who's gonna protect me if I'm not on high alert and unprepared?

I needed protection as a kid, but protection wasn't there

But I'm 30 now, my dad can't be bothered to help

I said I'm 30 now, I gotta learn to father myself

See the pain that I've been pushin' down is boiling now

Tried shootin' at my shadow, I'm recoiling now

Tormented, tour ended but the shows' not over

I gotta deal with the boos from my own thoughts sober

What's my future look like without my toxic mascot?

Will they still love Russell if I take the mask off?


[Chorus: Saleka]

Can't breathe with this on my chest

It's getting dire

Greed gon' make me confess

All my desires

Leave me, it's for the best

I can't keep hiding from myself

From myself, from myself

Hiding from myself

Done fighting, fighting for this hell

Done hiding, hiding from myself

Done fighting, fighting for this hell

Done hiding, hiding from myself


[Verse 3: Russ]

Wait, wait, wait

Why you creeping? You wanna see what time I'm on

Wait, wait, wait

Now I'm leaving, you don't wanna see what time I'm on

Wait, wait, wait

You wanna play that game, well, so do I

Wait, wait, wait

You wanna hide all day, all day, all night?


[Chorus: Saleka]

Can't breathe with this on my chest

It's getting dire

Greed gon' make me confess

All my desires

Leave me, it's for the best

I can't keep hiding from myself

From myself, from myself

Hiding from myself

Done fighting, fighting for this hell

Done hiding, hiding from myself

Done fighting, fighting for this hell

Done hiding, hiding from myself
