Alone in my mind
I feel you breathing
I don't, don't know why
I feel this every night
I know you need time
That's why you leaving
Paint me all your lies
Like I was ready to die
I got my start in this, 'fore they had ripped out my heart
But like cartilage, I couldn't feel from the start
Know it's obvious when you just sit where you are
In the audience, but what if you was the star?
And you are, so you gon' fly?
Or you just running and running from lies?
Got you a hundred what happen when I
Take my last breath and you ain't there to cry?
Got me wondering why, why did I start it to give in to fear?
I was fearless when Carter was first on the scene
And had dreams of a following
Way before everyone felt so intolerant
Way before everyone stared at they screens and they scream
And they scream and they screaming some more
Way before everyone sat on they Ottomans
Plotting on Parliament, grabbing they torch
Way before everyone lost all they love
Way before every system was corrupt
Way before they tried to raise all they prices in silence
'Cause they can't afford all they drugs
Looking up for a star, can't get that
I had love in my heart, tryna get back
Told me I was a problem, then sit back
Guess we gon' see in the end, I'm never leaving again
I'm finna build it to rise, then do it over again
Until the world feel alive, I got it all in my head
I'm tired of taking my time, I'll do this shit 'till I'm dead
A lion killing his pride, I feel the illest alive
I feel adrenaline pump
I think it might be the product of never having enough
Of never feeling that touch, of never taking it back
Of living stuck in my head, I know I'm living with that
Alone in my mind
I feel you breathing
I don't, don't know why
I feel this every night
I know you need time
That's why you leaving
Paint me all your lies
Like I was ready to die
