lyrics

I never knew you had it in you to do something so selfless.
Paint a picture
your favorite mixture
you're too quick you're on point
Broken-Hearted
No-good artist
leave me feeling helpless
Go abandon
I understand it
we're too cool to be annoyed

Could you turn the light on
before you go?
my thoughts are coming in through the windows
will you turn my mind off
before you leave
there's something hiding
just right behind me

Did you give them all your time?
take advantage of me
Lord have mercy on thee.
Altruistic all your life?
You can't fight this feeling
you're staring at the ceiling

(LIL HOG AKA JLTV)

Sometimes I hate my body
Hate my weight
Hate my wasted youth

Sometimes I hate my hobbies
Hate my fate
Can’t find Ma way to you

Sometimes I hate the copies
I hate the blade That
Find the veins and spray these stains

But we normalize it
Pharmacists organize it - the merchandise that sposed to regulate my self hate - They got me medicated -
These suicidal thoughts should’ve vacated
Got some friends who could emulate it
Shit- And we laugh and celebrate it -
Shit - maybe try to tell people - Get em’ educated -
But here we are just lying and trying to hide it
Like if we just deny it - It goes away
Embrace the fate we all gonna have some day.
I just want it sooner than you do
I prick my skin and call it voodoo
Who do you think you are trying to please

I never guessed you'd be distressed
I gave my best and you were selfless
So leave me shattered
it never mattered
torn and tattered and helpless
i've been committed but you insisted
I can't resist it I melted

would you turn the light on
before you go?
My thoughts are coming in through the windows
Will you turn my mind off
before you leave?
so self-absorbed
you don't understand me

Are you really feeling fine?
make a bandage of me
but it won't stop the bleeding
Tourniquet me or you'll die
You can't face the healing
escaping from your feelings

I gave you my heart
you gave me a purpose
Brought down the stars
and made me feel worthless

I've been waiting for the moment
when I can say " It's over now"
Listen for your breathing
inhale
exhale out
I grew up in Nowhere
and now I run around this town
Give in to the leaving
Maybe I will see you around?
You gave me nothing
but that's all you had to give
I almost felt something
but that's not how I choose to live
I'm sinking my toes in the sand
like the beach that day
with every clever word I understand you will never say
I always give so much
and you always take away
I always give so much
and you always take away
