Leave Me Behind (feat. Cam Steady)

(Yeah) (Yeah) (Yeah, yeah) (Yeah) And maybe I could say it's the last time But maybe I could say that I'm scared Another melody of somebody's story I'll finally admit I don't care It's been years and I can feel the end is near 'Cause I'm burnt out and I'm mangled Ready to wake up from this nightmare Wake me up Before I close the book, I always flip to the start I'm just tryna get a look at why I'm sick of the art It all began with a spark But the power, fame, dollars and change took the charge And made me less than its parts I didn't want it this way, I used to long for this day Yeah, sure, the money was great but sucked me into this phase And now the dream that I was chasing seems to chain me in place 'Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes Will I rot away? And if I say what's on my mind, will they all leave me behind? I thought I was safe, I thought I'd see brighter days Was I a shadow meant to fade all along? Did I lose my way from pretending? Another suit without a soul So many years, I thought I was ending But it opened up and swallowed me whole No happy endings will rise and show themselves So I gotta reach out And write an ending, an ending for myself Before I close the book, I always skip to the end See, will I ever fall in love with making music again Or did I give up all my passion and friends To run a factory line that'll just replace when I finally left? Yeah Wanna know the day I knew nobody prayed for me? The day somebody told me "This your legacy?" This is what you'll stay to be unless you make a break 'Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes It's been years, there ain't nothing for me here I was broken and alone, but now I'm home (Will I) rot away? And if I say what's on my mind, will they all leave me behind? I thought I was safe, I thought I'd see brighter days Was I a shadow meant to fade all along? Will I rot away If I stand up and say Say what plagues my mind? Will they leave me? Will you leave me behind?
