I know you're feelin' hopeless, got to weed for steady copin

And you'll probably be an old man, fore you know that something's missin

I know you're steady tryin' hard upon the line, fightin' like a lion

But it's a waste of time, and here's the bottom line

I try to chisel, think I'm workin' with soapstone

One knockin' hammer shatters the shale

Edges I thought were soft just flake around me

It's fake around me, but a sculptor's how you found me

So I guess just mind all the pieces

Nobody knows what it feels like to be you on the inside

And I'm tryin' to get insight, but you push me away, it's a real fight

To try to be more than a fair weather friend, I'm tryin' to be there to give comfort and

Be there at your worst, so I'll be the one that you callin' at first

When you at your best and all of the rest of the highs and lows

Try to be there when you're old, but it's gettin' colder outside

You ain't even slide in

Man

Sometimes we our own worst enemy

Got all that Eeyor energy, lose sight and we fear more than believe

Fight hard to find that inner peace, and we all try to find a way

Sometimes we lose, it's not to say that there's no purpose

Nah, there's tons of things to find worth in, but only one of them is certain

And that's why when Sam told me I should spit it, I got up here and I did it

Got me with the thought that some of you might need it, uh

Medication for the mental ill, bringin' lyrics that'll maybe heal

Sendin' sound super soft to seal, denote down dark, dented demon deals

Because beatin' by beauty been better, by the blood of the Lord, we let our lives last longer

All I've got left is two dead ends, one fear, one indifference

Standing still's not chivalrous, but my feet just root beneath me

I've made cuts so that people like me, all it brought me was gravity

Lost myself in some identity, misplaced virtue and prosperity

I'm pennin' perfect poetic patience, pen and paper, payin' piles of penance

Non sentenced, but let it permeate whatever I said it should, and when it recharges

I'ma get started with the market, let it restart retardant rhymin' schemes

What I mean, let it leave an impression, not just repeat an obsession

That's only leadin' to messes, y'all seem to need some direction

But please don't read in a message that me inside these lines is perfect

Nah man, life is depressin', but when you get to the end and cease to believe the pretendin

Then you latched on to somethin' worth it, hold on tight for the endin

Can't buy peace, no matter what the payment plan, they try to sell be

And I see it time and time again folks be lyin' and tell themselves they're not worth it

Find I'm all inside a hearse and Maybe that's why this time I find the rhyme urgent

It don't take a surgeon to know that y'all been hurtin

And that's where you find me letterin' lines, lamenting the leveraging lies

That lay me down on the inside, an enemy told me once I would never be worth it

And I believe it, they almost succeeded, if God didn't beat it, I wouldn't be here to repeat it

Eyes glare, mute walls creak, why does it all seem so incomplete

Trading hollowness fortune won't help me rest, I just peel my pockets empty

Glimmers through the brokenness, from a violent sea, light reflects

Imperfection leads to death, but he said that he'd restore me
