Hold Back

I'm feeling exhausted Not being rewarded So working long hours feels like it's oxymoronic But back to the paintings The pills I've been taking The rules that we're breaking, remaking. Cascading water like two lost explorers Running from horrors placed just like we were the authors But now we're imposters, no we're marauders Our story now alters, it falters. I didn't need to hear that You shouldn't need to feel bad If we didn't need to hold back Just don't hold back, please don't hold back now Not feeling accepted Got used to rejection But it's probably by now I try some real introspection 'Cus its interconnection I chose this direction Tried break the convention, attention. Stop feeling so special Not god-given potential You set out to make everything sound like it's existential But it's not so essential Not deemed consequential This is referential but gentle. I didn't need to hear that You shouldn't need to feel bad If we didn't need to hold back Just don't hold back, please don't hold back now I didn't need to hear that You shouldn't need to feel bad If we didn't need to hold back Just don't hold back, please don't hold back now
