Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah, and it goes like this

Love at first sight, brought you on the greenest

You're music to their ears, symphony completed

You see it, and you believe it

From top of your new era to the soles on your Adidas

You couldn't put a foot wrong even if you wanted

There's magic in your moves, they all tell you that you got it

But that vibe got a shelf life and the clock's ticking

You can tell when it felt right, then it didn't

[Verse 2]

And they say it's gone to your head

Damn it, it was all love when you wasn't a threat

And scare yourself to death, expectations ain't met

Second guess every move

That paranoia don't mean it ain't true, it's on you

No one hear you calling for help

Battle lines in your mind, in a war with yourself

And you drown in the shots, ringing out all around

Yelling "man down, man down, man down"

[Verse 3]

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks

And I know, I know, I know, I know it's all to lose

But I know, I know, I know you are not your mistakes

So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce

[Verse 4]

Yeah, preempting my own fate

Feel me fading away at the going rate

Convinced and inevitable, fall from grace

Fear mixed, well, hating myself for shit that I can't change

For my opinion over anyone else

You think there's anything they're saying I ain't thought of myself?

Fuck it, I'm nothing, less than that

A fraud man, better if I wasn't here

Wrestle those thoughts to the floor

Like, oh fuck, if I defeat myself before my turn

I prefer to assume the worst, than to get hurt

When success is self worth, lines blur

Perfect storm of outside force and self-saboteur

'Cause the world scratch the surface, barely sinks teeth in

But personal demons could tear me to pieces

I know they say to know you're not alone

But no one else inside this fucking war zone, like

[Verse 5]

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks

And I know, I know, I know, I know it's all to lose

But I know, I know, I know you are not your mistakes

So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce

[Verse 6]

Yeah, so this is how it ends

Better getting by with a little help from your friends

Going without, accepting what up within

Self respect and self forgiveness, that's a hell of a thing

And if it's out of my hands and control

Then I don't really talk about that anymore

Won't always be the good days, for sure it'll storm

But you can't feel the black cloud above till it's gone

Yeah, but live and let live, coup de grace

It gets heavy, but just know this too shall pass

Man, solace is a promised land

Two hands, either end of an olive branch

And it cannot change without reason

My inner peace, still a long shot, but I'm reaching

I know it when I say it's all good, and I actually believe it

Believe it, believe it, yeah

[Verse 7]

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks

(And I know the breaks)

And I know, I know, I know, I know it's all to lose (yeah)

(Yeah)

But I know, I know, I know you are not your mistakes

(You are not your mistakes)

So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce

[Verse 8]

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks

And I know, I know, I know, I know it's all to lose

But I know, I know, I know you are not your mistakes

So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce

[Verse 9]

And sometimes I'm like, "fuck it, why even try?"

Then a message from a fan will say I saved their life

So just know, inspiration has a two way street

I drive myself crazy, then you save me

So lets see where the new day leads

Let the motor run, I know it can be hard tryna open up

But at the heart of the matter, man it's only love

And if you don't know your own story, no one does
