you gave me a taste, now I'm so relaxed
used to try to do everything I could to pass
now it seems like we're all in a race to see who else can win last
we used to talk everyday, if things got too bad,
had a blunt wrapped, then we'd smoke that
then it leads me in, it takes me in, it ropes me into what defeats me
[holden]:
got me thinkin, if i run i can never cry
but if i go i can never try, again
believing in my own psyche insecurities
cause i see you in my dreams, in my dreams
yeah i can’t get you away from me
sometimes i just wonder why you see pain as a luxury
honestly it feels like everybody’s out to get me
maybe i’m just paranoid, maybe i’m just crazy
but i don’t understand
every time i fall asleep i get another chance
it’s like my life is moving backwards at another glance
this dreamin got me fucked up in a change of plans
sometimes i wonder if it’s worth it
not life but all the memories i surface
to paint a picture of a life that i used to have
with me
but now i ponder on patiently
delusional, trying in an empathetic mind place
all this thinkin got me caught up in a far daze
an incubus figurine, shatter my brain
find comfort in the soft patter of the rain
[button]:
it's got me thinking again,
maybe you weren't even my friend
that's fine, maybe I'll go
that's fine, maybe you know
that's fine, maybe I'll go
but I'll still be waiting for your call
and that's fine because I know I can put on a mask
but it's got me dying, dying
you would lead me, but you wouldn't wait for me
and then it leads me in, it takes me in, it ropes me into what defeats me
