I got a lotta pride but I got no ego
I lost it when I took shrooms bout a week ago
Now I cry over something intangible I lost
Seems crazy thinking about the collateral it costs
Watching yourself fade out is never fun
Imagine watching it happen twice but you're still not done
Thrice? How many times til I get outta my head
This labyrinth's a trap but so's everything else
Aryll is my God
And she is now dead.
Right?
Followin this plot
Hope to free myself from lies
Distancing everytime, this self's transient - a blur
Listening to my rhyme is poison, it's no cure
Break down, break down, lose what you love
Reach out right now, bruises and blood
Can't fix how you bow when pressure surrounds
Get out now, don't look back or back down to find out
Fix up this stuff that complicates your mind
Live, love, push us to fit in your design
Don't stop because you know how to free our lives
We must grow up to learn how to be more kind
It's no lie, just tryna help out oneanother
We can cry together to discover
The nature of time, reality and space
The tears that fall from your beautiful face
Don't worry about what ills you must take
Just stay determined to rewrite these mistakes
Into gateways to growth because every step matters
Am I fadil*? Do I have her? These are my disasters
Growth comes more than just once in a lifetime
No love or lies can prepare us for this pride
When it takes over your mind and tries to prevent change
You gotta fight back, take the reins and maybe erase
Delusions of grandeur or complicated faith
Take place so you can realize how to make
Your future your own and nobody can take
That from you. You matter so much, dearest face
Life is no sprint, it's a marathon
I would think everytime that the pressure's on
And rush to risk and climb just to get beyond
But really I was trying to grow up all wrong
I spent half of my life chasing my ideals
Intent to craft this plight and embrace the reveal
Now that's what my case is, how do I feel?
When all that took place was erased to conceal
I thought I was trans, now I don't know
Lost in the sands and mountains of hope
Still home but feels like I'm Drowning below
The surface is beautiful but how do I cope?
Trapped in my mind at this stop light
Lapse everytime I think I'm right in the
Fast lane, gas hard off the mark
Sparks fly and cast out the dark
I'm trying to help but failing myself
Fell into my mental mess, pressing for health
I keep trying to change but with no success
Everytime I fail I progress through complex
Obsession Embracing expression,
unable to grow, Facing contention
enables my flow, inside my reflection
no places to go, got no more direction
Trust me,
follow my eyes, race for the prize
Reach for the light and face your demise
Here's my advice, and it's no surprise
To be wise you must live life past the reprise
No more
goodbyes, just hellos and salutations
To feel surmise although facing implications
Beyond reparations, situations undone
Believe me. I love you, you're my everyone.
