Lauren Sanderson
Sleepless
So last night my producer sent me a shit ton of beats
Sometimes me and him go through these droughts, you know
When he can’t find inspiration and I can’t find inspiration
Whatever

But right now we’re in a good patch
And we’re about to release this project
It’s called “Spaces”
Apparently it’s too short for what they call an album
Too long for what they call a fuckin’ EP

And I realized somethin’, you know
All this industry shit makes me feel the same way that school did

Why does every song have to be “this” long
With this many hooks, this many verses
This many anything

I just wanna make the shit I like
I just wanna fuckin’ make u smile
I just wanna fuckin’ grab a mic
When I'm feeling really fuckin’ inspired

I just wanna doodle all the time, doodle all the time
I just wanna wear the shit I want, wear the shit I like
I just wanna be up in your face, be up in your mind
I want to express things the way I feel them
And not no sugarcoated shit, no, the way I feel them
I used to hide behind these waves and now I steer them
I’d close my eyes in front of hate, now I don't fear them
No, you can’t fear them

Cause they're the absent-minded, absent-hearted, previously been rewarded
Hide behind disguises, shattered hearts with words unguarded
And although I cant relate, I know the hate just prerecorded
Know the pain you feeling now is more than pain you can afford and

That’s the reason why
I said
That’s the reason why
You can’t sleep at night
I said
You can’t sleep at night

Your wounds are open
But they’ll heal in time

Just give it time,
Let go of insecurity
Don’t wait in line
Take hold of opportunity
Just give it time
Just give it time
Just be you baby (x8)
