Lyrics

Last night I had a dream
I was burning in hell
I had murdered myself
And was beneath earth in a cell
Satan looked directly in my eyes
And said "Fuck are you stupid?
Sean, what are you doing?
What about your son and your music?"
I said "I love 'em both
And I think I'm devoted as a father and an artist
Sometimes I'm weak, got moments where I just feel these impulses
It's hard for me to control 'em
Sipping, drinking and smoking, really I need just to focus"
Yep, that's when I woke up
Feeling like a failure
Almost twenty-five
Is our music going anywhere?
What have I done?
Look at all the time I've wasted, I must be nuts
So many tricks my mind is playing
Been on the bus
I try and exercise my patience
But I'm crushed
Man, I'm just really tired of waiting
For something good to happen
That's exactly what I can't do
I'll make another push then panic
I've had chances, man, a handful
But I can't stop
Slapbox the bad thoughts
Do another show
Tell the crowd to put their hands up
Thinking "Is this what I'm meant to do?"
Man, I'm kinda skeptical
If we're ever gonna catch a break
We need to catch it soon
Cause I'm feeling like I'm suffocating
Can I get some room?
Don't wanna crumble
Gotta hustle cause I feel impending doom
Broken trying to clothe me and my seed
And pay for rent and food
I wanna make it most of all
Because no one expects us to
Throw down your hands
Give me a sign
Put down your lies
Lay down next to me
Don't listen when I scream
Bury your doubts and fall asleep
Last night I had a dream of me killing my father
Reason? I don't know, I may be dealing with trauma
Maybe it's I wanna measure his success with mine
I feel like sitting in second place won't stand the test of time
So I testify on a record
But I don't have a label or distribution
I'm lesser, guess I'm just a clown in his shadow
I'm a jester, gestures
I make 'em when I'm down but I'm helpless
Effort is what I've been putting in
I ain't seeing results
See, it's my fault I'm dead
I ain't feeling a pulse
Reading Tolstoy, War and Peace
Relief and Assault
I'm going in like I had meter keys to the vault
Am I anything but a jealous being whose ego is lost?
Should I let it be like the letter B?
Tell Nico I'm sorry I didn't make it when I promised
Failure not an option
It's either full dedication 'till I'm layered in my coffin
Or it's suicide and you will find me hanging in the closet
With a "Do you like" note explaining what I wanted
Guess my pop's success made being famous such a problem
I'm appalling, I'm a monster
I'm an offspring of a rocker
Platinum albums on his wall, what an accolade
Thinking how the hell can I match that?
That's insane
No insane is wanting fame deep down
This is to whoever relates
Somebody reach out
Throw down your hands
Give me a sign
Put down your lies
Lay down next to me
Don't listen when I scream
Bury your doubts and fall asleep
I'm not saying I'm content with just being at this stage, but I
Could die today happy, that's straight up. You know what I'm saying
I'm happy. This is shit that I've always said I wish I could do
I'm doing this shit. People appreciate my art, they know me for my
Art. I'm gonna continue to keep doing what I've been doing until
It's my time to go. I'mma make mistakes, I'mma make some headlines
I'mma make people happy, I'mma piss people off, but I'mma do me
And I'mma be me, until it's my time to, you know, lay it all down
