Lyrics

Thought id spend a little time

To peel back layers of my design

Reading between the lines of telling myself im fine

Gotta convince myself that tightropes, aren't just straight lines

Im Ryan Gosling, but in the Place Beyond the Pines, look

Im sensational like Malibu Ken

Just to be heard, i have to work my way up to friend

Maybe you heard of me, from an old friend through a kin

On social media, the reviews, my stories don't end

Or my real stories, of how my blacks and whites had to blend

Wish i had starbucks, my lack of sleeps, from lacking in zen

My eyes expose allot, so understand that i cant pretend

The person i needed the most, and im not even his friend

Because its me, im part of the problem, and the solution

But im stubborn, im always picking instead of choosin

And its complex, semantics, turning winning to losing

Im dreaming through alarms, regretting the fact im snoozing, its gets deeper

I, cant run, and i, cant, decide

Do, I just, Leave it, all behind

Ive lost my mind, and, ive, lost, my pride

Thought it'd be easier to find

Id love to spend a little time

To build up walls, stays in my prime,

Suddenly care now, after working my body past the line

Past the point of no return, past my body being a shrine

Im past who i was in the past, all im regretting is time, its heavy

Lets chalk it all up, to lifes design

Its just as simple as, love is blind

Marginalize a soul going through times

By playing down the complexities, with singable lines

But if its a way to cope, and hang in your mind

Without the thought of hanging in your mind

Just do what you do, can't no body tell you everything's fine

Theres a good and bad to everything and nothings defined

I played the cards I was dealt, most of them got declined

I took what i needed from family from friends that were kind

And I still need to die to unwind, tell myself that im fine?

I don't see myself crossing that line, because i cant

I, cant run, and i, cant, decide

Do, I just, Leave it, all behind

Ive lost my mind, and, ive, lost, my pride

Thought it'd be easier to find

I don't know how I feel inside

I cant just leave it all behind

Where's my mind, and where is my pride

Wish it was easier to find
