Look

Self-awareness

Pride's a coat

And yes I like to wear it

Buttoned up

Don't like to let no air in

With a pair of gloves

that I hope doesn't perish

I discovered though

when I get holes in them

And I let joy in

I'm in higher spirits

My mistakes are like a

screamin' parrot

Just repeatin' lyrics

I can barely bear it

When I'm lost

Road is narrow

I'm lookin' down it

like a gun's barrel

Aren't we all

searchin' for the serum

That could help us breathe and

leave our state of peril

All of us have made

defensive scarecrows

That we scatter 'round our

fields and treat like heroes

When they scare away the

things that we should cherish

'Cause we're too embarrassed

To admit the fear is

that we're lost

Yeah

But what does it matter

I get so combative

Inside of me's a

personal canvas

The paint can be splattered

Get messy when

I start to get rattled

The heart of a savage

I'm quiet when

I lurk in the shadows

But somethin' don't add up

I don't wanna be overdramatic

But look at the data

It's obvious that

humans are fragile

We tend to get mad at the

ones that call us out

But the fact is we need

someone that'll be honest

when we fly off the handle

I admit I throw a fit when

I begin to unravel

Keep my wits been off the grid

But now I'm back in the saddle

My intent is not to rent

I like to own what I value

I could sit here on the fence

or maybe pick up the paddle

I like to row against the current

That's the way that I travel

Opposite of what the grain

does got the brain of a rebel

Take initiative

I'm diligent on every level

I never could settle

I like to keep my foot

on the pedal

Yeah

I'd love to pack arenas and all

But what I really wanna do is

learn to handle my thoughts

And put the reins on 'em

Show 'em I'm the one

that's the boss

And pull 'em back when they

get out of hand

I'm breakin' they jaws

I'm takin' the flaws

They told me I could

never evolve

Then pull a Bane on 'em ask 'em

Oh you think you're in charge

You oughta know better ain't

no way around it I'm flawed

The traits that I want they say

I can't afford what it cost

But I manifested this

Failing's how you grow and

learn your lessons kids

Take the worst

And try to make the best of it

'Cause when you fail

Just know that it's a test and if

You can learn to pick yourself

back up again

And train your brain to not be

such a pessimist

It's okay to make mistakes

Just don't forget that

there's a high road

But I skip the exit

When I'm lost

Yeah

When I'm lost

Lost

Wow

These burdens are heavy

And I'm hopin' it don't bury me

I used to be joyful and

skip so merrily

But now I'm too cautious and

tip toe carefully

My mind left

And it's nowhere to be found

Am I a big old parody

'Cause it's no fair to me

And now I'm at the point where

I'm spendin' a grand a week

on hypnotherapy look

I'm try-na wash away my sins

I got a group of loved ones

that ain't my friends

And if I ever take an L

then they might grin

And they all wanna see me stay

in the cage I'm in

So when it comes to anybody

There's no trust for no one

Man so what

My whole plan's to go nuts

My shoulders ready for more

shrugs I'm gon' judge

Anybody try-na enter my

circle with no love

My sanity's gone

I'd rather be torn from this

planet they planted me on

Yes that's a reward

I'm actually bored with

havin' a sore heart

It's torn apart from a family

that I don't have anymore

I was livin' so oblivious

with millions

It really was a pity huh

It's kinda funny what a

penny does

Mixed in with a mini buzz

Life's got me by the neck

with a blade against it

'Cause I was runnin' late

for the train and missed it

The only thing I feel is

pain and vengeance

So I'm-a act out like a

ragin' misfit

And every verse I lay gon'

stay sadistic

You wanna hate me

Good great terrific

You'll never see the day

where my anger's dismissed

You better go and change

your wishlist 'cause I

Yeah

Manifested this

Do not treat me like some

adolescent kid

I am prayin' to the Lord

with the book of James

Hopin' he gon' add

my testament

This dark cloud

That's my residence

Demons knockin'

I don't have to let 'em in

I done made mistakes

day to day

You probably can't relate

I just ain't the same

When I'm lost

Yeah

When I'm lost

Lost
