A Problem Shared

Can I take your mind away

Rather cut me off than help me to relate

I don’t mind if I adopt the pain

A problem shared - a problem halved you know the saying

Can I take your mind away

Rather cut me off than help me to relate

I don’t mind if I adopt the pain

A problem shared - a problem halved you know the saying

Just wanna get high today

Pray the smoke creates a hideaway

Recite the reasons why I fight to stay time on earth I see the perks decay

Everyday is another debate on debate

My mind instigates

That this ain’t the place I belong.

Am I the mistake? Can’t get no sleep

When your mind is awake

Don’t see land of the free

But surroundings a State … & my timing is late

So I get no shifts

Gears in bits

Feels like Stevie is driving my fate

Cause I know all the keys

But I cant see straight

Clean hearts cant always claim clean slates …

When your backs on the wall & you’ve stood til you ache

Breaking point so your actions change

No peace - divided the fractions changed

Was raised to see equals

But now I see it top heavy while I’m asking change

We use to cut classes - Like were careless of background

…Too many passing Not on school grounds

I’ve never been associated

But karma found other angles than round and back round

We never speak of the effects

Keep feelings masked

Be immune to the stress

And you don’t need counselling,

Raise on ‘if you don’t hear you must feel instead’

…No wonder we cant heal instead

So focused to kick & portray real strength

… But I rather you talk to me now

Than to be past tense

Can I take your mind away

Rather cut me off than help me to relate

I don’t mind if I adopt the pain

A problem shared - a problem halved you know the saying

Can I take your mind away

Rather cut me off than help me to relate

I don’t mind if I adopt the pain

A problem shared - a problem halved you know the saying

Thought I shook you off but your back again

I was fine before yo what’s happening

Wide awake, my thoughts running lapses again

Why won’t you let me recover- constantly

Damaging

Constantly carrying - This weight is overbearing I’m battling

Where do I feel safe

Cause when I’m all alone its like my walls about to cave

Then when I escape the box under the brave face

I'm still caged

How to persuade the… caged bird to sing

Batted eyelids to swing

My way & maybe ring 1 call won’t cost a thing

Maybe that's selfish

Everyone needs an outlet I don’t wanna be a burden

But sleepless nights are wearing me thin

Wearing me tearing me down

Depression staring me down

And anytime I feel up

By night I’m squared in ground

Would you care for me now

Would you care for me now

Cause I feel like I need you

And your barely around
