Verse 1
one day you opened up your eyes inside of you
inside a world inside a universe you didn’t get to choose
you didn’t get to pick the rules or pick the past or set the pace
or cast the cast and crew you didn’t get to pick your starting place
and though it was a race you didn’t understand
you simply lined up on the blocks and when the pistol popped you ran
and when you tripped and dropped you picked yourself up off the ground
and picked your scabs you knew you had to pick a plan to end what you began
As you got older there were days of cold surrender
Days of shrugged whatevers folded in with days of shocking splendor
but as time advanced the lovely days were covered up from view
by an advancing melancholy haze that hovered near the dew
Yet there were moments
there were these pure arresting moments when you stepped outside your head
outside your pain outside control, outside the bullshit, out of body, out of rage
outside the need to get it, get it, you will never get it, that’s okay
Chorus
Have you felt a little off today
Had a lot to say
But wound up talking to yourself?
Have you hunted for a kindly ear
But couldn’t find one near
And wound up talking to yourself?
Verse 2
had a little spot— where you been going through a lot
wanna shove it to the bottom— but a trouble gonna bubble to the top
then the bubble gonna pop—and the hustle never ever gonna stop
cause you get up in the morning get ahead then get to bed and then you do it all again until the moment that you drop
you need a plot — what you wanna witness with this life you got
you kicked and fought trynna get up in your skin and pick this lock
that ticking clock lets you know that bitch you got these situations witchu
issues someone fit to quick should sit you should down to talk
ever wonder who’s the crazy the one— people walking to work as if nothing is off
but if a person really got it they would be cracking a bottle on somebody’s head and looting from shops
are there times you’re alone now when nobody’s home but you walk around muttering under your breath second guessin shit saying goddammit goddammit goddammit just whispering soft
do you ever get lost, deep in your thoughts, tripping when you think about the cost of seeing this through
when you tie your stomach into knots that you don’t know how to undo
but do you ever have another moment after that, when you can see
there’s no one way this has to be? or maybe that’s just me")

Chorus
Don’t let my ghost drag you down
If you don’t see me around
It doesn’t mean that I fell, yeah I’m doing well
I got some roses to smell
I hope you smile when I’m gone
It means I had the strength to move on
To find another story to tell, to answer the bell
I got some roses to smell
Verse 1
when magic’s happening my habit’s been coiling up a memory and trappin it right
in the cavity of my ribs, like the doors of a cabinet might
but you won’t hold onto a shadow just by grabbing it tight
set it free and let it back in the light
never out of my heart, even when out of my sight
leaving is sposed to be hard
Man I thought it so was selfish of people I love to keep falling out of my life
But now I know
No I don’t take it personal
If you got a really lovely place to go
I will chase my goals
yeah, to make me whole
Cause it’s urgent we love and be loved I’ve begun to scrub up with detergent to shine up my soul
Chorus
Verse 2
cause every screen the we tap is screaming that bigger is better, better is how you make yourself matter, but matter is fleeting am I living to feed a machine that I’m blind to see
no point in hiding my pride if there’s no privacy
I’ve already dedicated too much of my time to trying to get my followers up
and crying out for attention and sleeping around to mend a hollow crater inside of me
knowing well that it don’t mean shit
going to the well for another cheap dopamine hit
I’m done being a bitch to ambition, I’m already rich
I got a head that’s full of million dollar questions
and the length of it, is I don’t need the courage to work I want the strength to quit")
