Please, Don’t Leave Me Alone With My Thoughts
[Verse 1]
Wait, where you going? Stay another night
I know, it’s annoying, I’m just stuck with this fright
Wait, what you mean? I struggle to see the light
I can’t help it, there’s pain stuck in my eyes
Wait, are you leaving? Just don’t tell a lie
If you’re gonna do it just do it, don’t spare my
Feelings, cuz you’ll destroy me regardless
And then act as if I’m heartless
This cycle, it’s endless
This text, should I send it?
This may sound like it’s about a lost love, it’s not
It’s about every friend I thought I got
It’s about every family member I knew I’d lose
It’s about the things they all decided to choose
Over me, can’t you see?
I’m tired of being walked on and talked down upon
And, frowned on, when I hit the town, I’m
Walking, nervously cuz I’m embarrassed
Confused when I hear people talk about 2 parents
Going out to eat with friends like, “Who’s sharing?”
Cuz I’m 10 dollars short, but who’s caring?
Ugh, hate when I go on these long tangents
[Verse 2]
This instrumental too chaotic, I know
I’m struggling to even find the flow
This what it’s like inside my mind
This what it’s likes when I’m searching for rhymes
This what it’s like when I’m searching for time
Searching for time? I can’t find it
Man I hate when I’m reminded
That this life is limited, cuz sometimes I waste it
Sleeping on the couch, at least I’m not in the basement
At least my chaotic mind leaves room for creating
At least my mouth is aware of what I’m saying
At least I’m capable of deep thinking
At least I’m not out here drinking
At least there’s no drugs I am taking
At least I’m making this music
At least I’m capable of movement
Maybe one day I’ll get to moving
Or maybe a year from now I’ll be better
I’ll see the sun, enjoy the weather
Look back and be glad I’m not the old me
And then tell this story within the Melancholy EP
[Outro]
Please don’t leave me alone with my thoughts
Please don’t let me be enclosed within these walls
Please stay and give me a reason to talk
Please don’t go and walk
Out on me, and leave me here clueless
As to what I’m doing in this music
Or who I am, or the path I’m choosing
Or let me wander if the future crowd will be booing
Or if they’ll even know me
Or if they’ll show me
Where I’m going
Or if how I’m flowing
Is okay
Is this okay?
