Through Speakers and Headphones Lyrics

It's not easy for me to explain

I can feel what they are but I don't feel they care

I might just be selfish or it's just the truth

I want the things that I can't

Life has been pretty insane

I am grateful to live without rules to obey

But the more that I play, I'm bound to break faster

And healing is too long to wait

This is why I press buttons on my keyboard

Making a fictional work that can travel

Through speakers and headphones

Hoping that people

Would understand what I mean

He makes rock

She makes jazz

He makes beats for indie rappers

She's the newest hottest dj in this town

They like pop

They like rap

They think new music is crap

And I can't just pick a stance when it's too many of us

Making sounds that can do things to your heart

What if I write about love at first sight?

Just so I can tell the world that I like you a lot

Wishing you would

What if I write about running away

So my family can understand why I keep to myself

Wishing they could

What if I write about being a liar

Just to own my own mistakes this regret is all mine

I deserve light

What if I write about being alright

Cuz the fact is that I'm not and I need to feel right

I need to feel right

What if I write about missing my ex

At least a thousand people would be listening to my past affair

Hoping she'd care

What if I write about when I was down

My anxiety would fade away because I'd write it out

Wash with a towel

What if I write and then I go too far

Sticks and stones can break your bones but it can't take a life

Then I'm a killer that rhymes

What if I write about why do I write

So I can stop being so self conscious about my own lyrics

They don't matter, cuz what matters is what I do with my life

These words mean nothing to my life

He's all over the place

Looking for another meaning in life

He knows he's overreacting because if he wasn't, what was his previous albums for?

Just for shows? Clout?

He believes he is honest with his art. Or at least, he wants to

The author thinks about his mother.
