Yeah, it all started when the lights went out

Ears ringing from the sound of the crowd

No clue to what they're singing about

He's got an upset stomach from the sub when it pounds

And now he's daydreaming in the nosebleeds

But never had the self-esteem to make a first leap

He wasn't confident but if you looked closely

He had what it took when he started making his first beat

It took a couple

A couple long nights, a couple red eyes

A couple moments he began to let the dream die

Then with his own eyes

He saw the dead rise

Now he can make a room jump

With his hands tied

The worst part is that he doubts himself

Keeping people happy that surround himself

So it don't matter if he had a Grammy on his shelf

He's still a kid who's tryna be someone to everyone else, yeah

I'd have it all, and I'd still know how to cry

I'd have the starts and learn to block out the sky

Maybe I'm wrong to try and cover my eyes

Cover my eyes

Don't let it eclipse in my mind

Fast-forward, I was 17, living out my daydreams

But 25-thousand in a crowd didn't save me

Room packed and they're screaming

But it isn't any louder than the voices tryna change me

And I'ma change it all regardless

Out of fear for the day when the rooms go silent

Another day in the darkness

And believe me when I say I got it down to a science

Why do I do this to myself?

Block out your light for something else

Why do I do this to myself?

This time I need your help

I'd have it all, and I'd still know how to cry

I'd have the starts and learn to block out the sky

Maybe I'm wrong to try and cover my eyes

Cover my eyes

Don't let it eclipse in my mind

Don't let it eclipse in my mind
