Maniac Box Lyrics

I'm tired of acting like I function like y'all

Like I don't have a fucking monster in my body at all

Times tryna make me scream or shout or rupture a wall

I'm a maniac, and I don't really care what I'm called

I'll just try to live my life but then a monster will creep up

Whisper that it's time to scream and herd all the sheep up

And now I got a thousand thoughts, I can't even keep up

My spirit's been possessed and now my body is beat up

No one really gets me if I try to explain

'Cause everybody's scared to talk to my maniacal brain

I can't blame 'em 'cause the mirror really brings me the pain

See the eyes of a person who's been rendered insane

Who done soiled his name

Who's been boiled in flames

Who done sullied some relationships with permanent stains

I guess I'll try to just remember these ain't permanent days

And so I pray, not knowing if a difference is made

I'm sayin'

I'm stuck in a maniac box for life

I can never truly leave

I guess Imma keep my head up and fight

It's too soon to rest in peace

I'm stuck in a maniac box for life

I can never truly leave

I guess Imma keep my hopes up tonight

It's too soon to rest in peace

Run it

Everybody thinking that they know me

Homie we ain't really homies

I don't even know myself, that's true

I don't really care for people's company

'Cause they might see the ugly me

The maniac within, that's cruel

I don't mind if people think I'm evil

Or demented or just doomed to fail

In this fucking game, that's fuel

All I need's a pencil and a paper

And my lines are ever greater

I'm a lyrical creator, that's cool

Music is a drug, takes my mind off things

Popped a pill and fell in love, with my mind unhinged

I ain't married to the game, 'cause I snipped them strings

I just play it to be sane, 'til I win my ring

When I'm ill, I sing

It's a thrill, fighting

Every moment for my life, and I will I think

Even if I sink

I'll return, on the brink

Of defeat just to sing about the box I'm in

Aye

I'm stuck in a maniac box for life

I can never truly leave

I guess Imma keep my head up and fight

It's too soon to rest in peace

I'm stuck in a maniac box for life

I can never truly leave

I guess Imma keep my hopes up tonight

It's too soon to rest in peace
