Keep It Inside

Why do they try to squeeze tears from a stone

Only to build their sculptures

This art can't be made alone

It's a product of breaking countless bones

So many times I

Will keep it inside

She wonders why we don't talk on the phone

As if it has anything to do with my love for her

Hard to explain why I must be alone

So many times I

Just keep it inside

So many times I

Will keep it inside

Living a dream

Where people stare and judge

Analyze idolize our flaws and such

Hard as I try it won't be good enough

To please all y'all

I would have fought to the death for your respect

I would have fought till the end

Still struggling to make it through every breath

But I tend to keep it inside

Endless fascination

It's a bit degrading

To sing guts out

Vomiting for some entertainment

People pissed

When I can't serve as their personal therapist

Believe me I wish to be there

For everyone in this mess

Miss you miss so much

Missed another funeral wedding your touch

Every day in limbo

I'm feeling my physical go

But I don't know a better way

To dig myself out of this hole

It's a perpetual blessing and curse

When your work is to not work

Navigating industry dirt

There's very little space

For a taste of normalcy

Please know I dreamt of being everything you wanted

But I'll leave you be

I would have fought to the death for your respect

I would have fought till the end

But I lost touch

And became a one man band

So now

I just keep it inside

I would have fought to the death for your respect

I would have fought till the end

Tried my hardest but I still broke promises

So now

I just keep it inside
