See I been feeling like I'm riding solo
Even when you is around
And it isn't 'bout you, no
I know that you hold me down
'Cause even when I'm with my crew, oh
I been feeling like I'm by myself
And it's been this way for too damn long
Too long and I'm trynna figure out
Why do I feel so alone
When I am not on my own
Huh
I don't look in the mirror too long
'Cause I see all the time that has gone
Huh
Why do I stay in my zone
Is it because I fear the unknown
Hm
Am I too weak to hold on
Or am I too strong to let go
Hm
Been a long time that I'm feeling low
Asking myself is there something wrong
Maybe I should try to get diagnosed
Don't wanna cry, won't tears involved
Nerves to ceiling
Words curb all the feelings, yeah
Girls numb the searing
Drugs was not appealing, yeah
Searching for meaning
Concerned for my being, yeah
'Cause when I'm chilling
Absurd thinking kick in then
All of a sudden it's
Negative thoughts, thinking 'bout calling it
Maybe the problem is
Trauma from all my previous happenings
Ridiculous phobias
Don't wanna flop, scared of abandonment
Keeping it hidden and pushing 'em all
Before they get the chance
To penetrate my heart then
Take it out then throw it
On the ground
Just to laugh aloud
So instead I'll lock it away, yeah
Been through it too many
Way too many times before
Too many pieces left on the floor
I been trynna make peace with all the
Memory horrors but it's been harder
Underneath water got to breathe but I'm
Sinking deep and I cannot be bothered
Nah nah
Surely it shouldn't be this way
Up and down I was perfectly fine the other day (Yesterday)
Why's it so easy for it to break
No matter what I do things are always the same (Never change)
Why do I feel so alone
When I am not on my own
Huh
I don't look in the mirror too long
'Cause I see all the time that has gone
Huh
Why do I stay in my zone
Is it because I fear the unknown
Hm
Am I too weak to hold on
Or am I too strong to let go
Yeah yeah
25 plus years living with the teaching everyone wants
Top tier for each other so we sacrifice what's
Most dear to our hearts for the sake of the ones
Who're near 'cause they'll do the same for us
But reality's actually all "my bad"s
Overlooking these fallacies on my path
Couldn't believe that the reason you had
To be next to me was to cleave at my back when you
Turned on me, now I see
What it takes to keep my peace
Keep icy
Colder than zero degrees
Like deep freeze
So every they see me bleed
Cut that leech
Tell 'em snakes to get down
Before I fire off and hit 'em
I'm trying to tell 'em all apart from my hitters
Disguised they all playing the part but the difference
Is the mind, they only tag along when you winning
(Oo) Inside my mind, you can find me
(Cooped) up behind blinds made of diamonds
(Rubies) sapphire, topaz surround me
(Too) hard as ever to try to break it down from the outside
Easy as ever to be thrown from inside
Eviction notice posted on the confines
So take your luggage or find em on roadside
Because I'm so tired
Said I'm so tired
Why do I feel so alone
When I am not on my own
Huh
I don't look in the mirror too long
'Cause I see all the time that has gone
Huh
Why do I stay in my zone
Is it because I fear the unknown
Hm
Am I too weak to hold on
Or am I too strong to let go
Hm
