Lyrics

Guess it all starts here
Confronting and conquering all my fears
What has caused these tears?
I've been pushing all of this away for too many years
Needa make 'em disappear
I thought it would be easier to keep 'em in the rear
Like headlights to a deer
Or lost like a sheep, I've needed to shear
All these thoughts away, they're turning my life so grey
What do I even say, to keep my mind at bay
Or put ease in my heart, with these problems I'll depart
All this pain in my art, still don't know where to start
Well, I guess it stems from my youth
Cradled by parents, thankful I was soothed
But their care made me numb to the truth
Being fed lies whiter than a tooth
The world was a jungle, thought it was a zoo
So it wasn't a surprise they left me abused
Friendly at first, until I was no use
That's why I've grown with trust issues
It feels like everyone is out for blood
Minds are fogged with the need of funds
Accounts in drought, begging for a flood
Anything for bread when push comes to shove
Then there's others, in it to be thugs
Claiming that they do it because they're studs
When reality is, all they need is a hug
That's why I should've showed love, afterthoughts
Another heavy thing is my expectations
For myself and for others, I was calculating
Results of actions, tryna stop complications
But looking back, all of 'em were exaggerations
Never saw the bigger picture in relation
To all other aspects in situations
Maybe it was laziness, perhaps I needed patience
Took too long to realize mistakes I was making
Nothing went as planned, I sat, and wondered
Was there some spell I was casted under?
Better yet a curse for all these blunders
Not just cloudy anymore, now there was thunder
Striking in my head, starting to sunder
Control over my life, and over any others
Gotten to a point where I was losing slumber
Worrying about how to be a conductor
This led to me being hard on the state
I was in, if things weren't going so great
If something went wrong I would hate
Myself, even if it was just fate
Control freak of nature, I found it innate
Needed everything to happen at my pace
Never realized what it was that I chased
And of course now I do, it's way too late
But on the other hand, it's good I found the stems
Of where everything started, now I can condemn
Any further actions that could overwhelm
Me as I proceed to make amends
In my mind for good, no more temporary
Solutions, can't do all of this again
It's time to turn this coal into a gem
And transcend, finally into a new realm
