Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bringin’ back the ocean as I,
float, Woah, oh,
I be swimmin’ in emotions coz I got ‘em right now,
Hundred thousands in my head and I
ain’t talking bout the money I’m owed
and I’mma spend it alone
Got my insecurities and problems locked down
they be bottled up since I was still in
school and i’m about to implode
and I should take off the load
The trauma from before
Is knocking on the door,
I want to open up but I’m not dressed,
and the shoes are seen,
The birds are out and the house ain’t clean,
the family is home, and it’s hard to build a throne,
but I know it’s not my fault to have, what I believe,
is the cause of my anxiety
[Chorus]
I put my happiness under yours so I
could keep the peace while I’m drowning alone,
Until my heart turns to stone
and now I can’t express how I feel
and I think that’s fucked up
I don’t know where to go
I guess I’d go with the flow
so you don’t have to deal with all my
so you don’t have to deal with all my
my life, my thoughts,
my insecurities, my tears, my past
My weight, my promises,
my time, my trust, my love...
[Verse 2]
All of my, all of my all of my, all of my,
traumas, dramas,
typical phases,
emo kid with the jokes
that are borderline racist,
Asian eyes that look like spaceships,
Train tracks running in my mouth like their braces
Errbody telling me I’m gonna be famous
Don’t forget the cousins when you’re
playing for the lakers
Now I feel the pressure (now I feel the pressure)
Coz they gotta whole lotta expectations
Yeah, They just want to see me on the top
Tippy toein’ so I don’t flop
Passive when I’m put up in a crowd
I just wanna make ‘em all proud
But I don’t want no life like this
Shut up, don’t talk
You don’t really know shit,
You’re just way too young
You’re avoiding what’s best for you now
do as you’re told
Don’t run your mouth or finna get cold
Say you wanna live it independent yet oh
Look at you, you the man but no
Couldn’t tell your mother how you feel
Couldn’t tell your father how you feel
Couldn’t tell your parents how you feel
but when I do tho, They prolly tell me
don’t think that way, who thinks that way
I’ve been through worse, be grateful
Being weak isn’t how we raised you
Don’t cry because all of your dreams are
crushed that’s just real life, can’t blame you
Maybe they’re right, it’s clear
I should compromise their fears
If that’s the way I go
I guess I might just go with the flow
[Bridge]
Suffering in silence is my favourite curse
It won’t make it better it’ll just make it worse
Wished I could take time and put it in reverse
Take my dreams and passions and emotions first
Suffering in silence is my favourite curse
It won’t make it better it’ll just make it worse
Wished I could take time and put it in reverse
Take my dreams and passions and emotions first
[Jokoy]
There’s some nurses working at that
hospital that wish they were a
Jabbawockee
[Chorus]
I put my happiness under yours so I
could keep the peace while I’m drowning alone,
Until my heart turns to stone
and now I can’t express how I feel
and I think that’s fucked up
I don’t know where to go
I guess I’d go with the flow
