It Feels Like
[Intro]
It feels like
The weight of the world to me
It feels like
I'm trapped where I don't want to be
It feels like
I'm regrettin' just where I've been
It feels like

[Verse 1]
Another day goes trippin' away
Where the same feel of hate [?]
That you dropped on your back
Like a silent attack
To everything that you feel when you're black
And the people around you fall in
They call in to make sure you haven't fallen
Every day is a constant [relay?]
Of everyone in your life
In your face saying "Are you okay?"

No, I'm not fine
Every second is a record of why
I live my life never doin' things right
And though I try
The pain stays the same
[?] shame [?] of my own name

Look into the mirror in fear
That what I see is the cause of another shit year
I hear that other people think I'm livin' like a star
But life ain't easy when you hate who you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the darkness comes to take me away again

[Chorus]
It feels like
The weight of the world to me
It feels like
I'm trapped where I don't want to be
It feels like
I'm regrettin' just where I've been
It feels like
I'm drowning inside again

[Verse 2]
Hard to say who I really am
I've got closet full of thoughts
That you wouldn't understand
Got an honest problem
In that even though I try
It all gets simple when I act like I'm fine
So I smile and laugh
Like I'm attackin' every fact
That I can't hold back anymore
'Cause I'm sure that if it [?]
Inside I might find
That the light disappears and it's leaving me blind

It's not okay
No person should be livin' this way
[?] in everything that they say
And what a [?] that the people really knew
What they choose to see
[?] when you're fightin' through

I need help
I'm sick and I know it
And I've gotten really good at
Making sure I don't show it
And if people see me
They feel happy
And all I've ever wanted was to be
The man they want me to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the darkness comes to take me away again
[Chorus]
It feels like
The weight of the world to me
It feels like
I'm trapped where I don't want to be
It feels like
I'm regrettin' just where I've been
It feels like
I'm drowning inside again

[Bridge]
Now I know
There's something wrong with me
Happiness
Only appears in dreams

[?]
Bury it back inside
[?]

It feels like
It feels like
It feels like
It feels like
Drowning inside again

[Chorus]
It feels like
The weight of the world to me
It feels like
I'm trapped where I don't want to be
It feels like
I'm regrettin' just where I've been
It feels like
I'm drowning inside again

[Chorus Refrain]
It feels like
There isn't anything that's real
It feels like
I've got a wound that will never heal
It feels like
I'm regrettin' just where I've been
It feels like
I'm drowning inside again
