Fighting these feelings
Told me never show my emotion
Man up don't start commotion
But you don't know what it's like having scars
Getting sea sick holding in the ocean
Can't get out of bed but gotta pay the bills
Can't let them see you bleed gotta smile still
Never told me that strength was my kryptonite
Fighting feelings I might say goodbye tonight
Does it ever get better
They promised me something might never be true
American dream is just looking like gloom
Followed the blueprint it left me confused
Not about making sense or the politics
That's the surface level I fell for the trick
There's really nobody there when men need to vent
We start shutting down how we feel and then
Wonder why suicide is a growing trend
Got a list of problems no hope to fix
My head and my heart disconnected
Becoming indifferent I turn to a skeptic
Feeling my mental in different directions
Try not to blow then go black like the credits
Drained of my energy brain is defective
When it's out of control my ignore the aggression
Why do I feel so broken I'm all out of hope and
Ain't got no room to breathe
Something's wrong with my emotion
If I show them how I really feel will it be outspoken
And are my wounds really gonna heal
Or be cut wide open
I'm fighting these feelings in a battle that I can't win
I've been at war with myself looked in the mirror
I can't blame nobody else now ya
Fighting my feelings feelings numb my pain
Wouldn't notice
Ooh ooh ah
Notice
Fighting these feelings
I can't keep going like this
Gotta be somewhere I can vent
I can't keep it bottled in
Must've been a parasite from a younger age
No I couldn't stay focused
But now my whole life stuck in a maze
Feels like my life wasn't chosen
On the outside pretend to be amazed
When I tell you that I'm feeling broken
But I know that you're thinking he's gone insane
He might never come back from this omen
Now I can't breathe
Might have a heart attack I'm surrounded by stress and
Dark are the days but I still gotta bring everyone joy
Put Sunday's best on I got a vest on
But I'm taking bullets straight to the chest
Failing my test now I'm in a hold
If I give up and then take off the mask
Where does this go feeling exposed
Used to leaning into self-loathing
Probably witchcraft because I drank the potion
Put the bottle down and then I faced the old me
Am I really healing no one ever told me
That I'd reexperience the worst emotion
Years I was stuck but I wasn't frozen
Was learning to break out the cell
Called out to God and He hears the broken
Why do I feel so broken I'm all out of hope and
Ain't got no room to breathe
Something's wrong with my emotion
If I show them how I really feel will it be outspoken
And are my wounds really gonna heal
Or be cut wide open
I'm fighting these feelings in a battle that I can't win
I've been at war with myself looked in the mirror
I can't blame nobody else now
Fighting my feelings feelings numb my pain
Wouldn't notice
Ooh ooh ah
Notice
Fighting these feelings
I can't keep going like this
Gotta be somewhere I can vent
I can't keep it bottled in
