Painting the Picture Lyrics

I had it all

But then i look in your eyes

And I watch it all crash over again

And oh

Take a look at the tears I shed

And now I know

Ill never change again

My egos like a child that plays with lego

I kick and scream I wont let it go

But as I got older and a little wiser

I understood I didnt have to be that fighter

(Let it go)

Its ok to cry, its ok to laugh

Its ok to have emotions from your past

I hope you know exactly what im trying to say

Because we live inside a world where, we're not ok

(We're not)

The first few tracks I did were ego driven

Through the camera lens thats how it was written

See we had Crazy who would walk away

Till we stopped talking we finally faded away

Then I had Grey Goose up in the V.I.P

Getting loose what the camera wanted to see

Because the egos responsible for this industry

So dont blame the celebrity or pretend to be

I had it all

But then i look in your eyes

And I watch it all crash over again

And oh

Take a look at the tears I shed

And now I know

Ill never change again

See this album is based on what people want us to be

They expect entertainment in this industry

You fake a smile because they want you to see it

But only you know how you want to percieve it

Sometimes it overwhelms you, you feel dissociated

People ask you how are you so creative

(I dont know)

Maybe thats Gods way of hoping I make it

But untill then our happiniess Ill fake it

You tell people youre ok but thats

what the camera wants to do

Because in order to live your life you cant be you

Our image is used express what we say

But some rappers have finally woken up so respect Kanye

Because I know how you really feel

You dont want to make the same mistakes twice

So I just want you to do one thing right now

Just live you life

I had it all

But then i look in your eyes

And I watch it all crash over again

And oh

Take a look at the tears I shed

And now I know

Ill never change again

So rest in peace Mac Miller, Lil Peep

Micheal Jackson who died in his sleep

Chester Bennington I know your demons hid deep

(Rest in peace)

Avcii, Prince you never missed a beat

Talk about drugs they say self infliction

But how personalities were already written

So when will they learn about these conditions and listen

Making money from an image untill its in a bad position

Im not Martin Luther King but I have a vision

Stop the culture that fulls intuition

Artists are the ones that make this world go round

Emotions are constructed through the talent of sound

Harmonies are sent to mask our own inner fears

Making us happy untill we adapt to tears

So dont be that child that used to play with Lego

Stop fighting because its time to let it go.

I had it all

But then i look in your eyes

And I watch it all crash over again

And oh

Take a look at the tears I shed

And now I know

Ill never change again
