Lyrics
This day and age
These trying times
The words in my heart
Allow my contradictions, let me be conflicted
Let me do some improv while everything feel scripted
Let me pull my weapon, shoot from where the hip is
Tell the truth, let it loose, do away with fiction
I'm feelin' these days, no one's givin' leeway
People on the high road, swervin' off the freeway
I'm tryna find that silver lining where it still hurts
I go by Chris now, remember I was Bill first
Swallowin' that pill hurts
Lookin' at the real world, who we are as people
Feelin' unfamiliar
I'm tryna find that moment to rewind back
Tell me where the time went, show me where my mind's at
This world got me spinnin' in my chair
Newscasts got me sick, fist swingin' at the air
Information overload, aim from the overlords
I keep my head on a swivel, never overboard
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the, these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the, these are the words in my heart
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the, these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the, these are the words in my heart
Came back from tour, got diagnosed with pre-diabetes
That's too much partyin', had to slow down the drinkin'
Meditation saved my life, I started reading
A book every two weeks, had to change my eating
Had to change my routine, had to stop the eddys
Every day I'm gettin' up, but not gettin' ready
For the world, for myself, for my thoughts
When I was overseas, I felt like somethin' was off
I felt like I was performin' at my shows
Relivin' all of the torment that I know
Givin' the crowd all the energy I had
But when I left the stage, I was feelin' worse than bad
We rehearsed these raps, the stories that we know
Destroy us as we grow, they call that music soul
What we think and eat is what will make us
My doctor's surprised I'm alive, I'm just grateful when I wake up
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the, these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the, these are the words in my heart
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the, these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the, these are the words in my heart
This day and age
These trying times
