I can't handle just being the same
Another life junkie just buried in shame
I wanted to be different, pave my own lane
Run from the storm and never drown in my pain
But I got stuck with modern dreams, self-proclaimed kings
Queens with schemes that just fiend for your means
Holdin' me down like they didn't want me to see
Just how beautiful this life could really be
So for a while I just pictured disaster
This world was something I just couldn't master
Succumbed to doubt, left with an unread chapter
Wishing success would just come a little faster
Sooner or later you get tired of waiting
Sick of all that damage through your armor plating
Tired of lonely nights that you're left debating
Parked in the dark, watching the lights fading
But with that pain comes clarity
I just don't need anyone to carry me
That's why he did the album with his family
That's why you hear the pain down in my thoracic cavity
So I don't need charity, I just unlock my heart
Take a shot in the dark, don't be afraid to restart
Just use your head kid, you need to be smart
Accept that life will at times fall apart
'Cause give it enough time and every structure will crumble
Just work with the rubble, it teaches you to be humble
And in those times when every step is a struggle
Just keep on movin' because you're building up muscle
This life is a game, don't be afraid to reshuffle
Fit the pieces together, it's just a complex puzzle
You've done all the math, yeah, you're on the right path
Just give it some gas because your time slips fast
I know you'll finally find that happiness that lasts
Just know it starts when you begin to make peace with the past
