Heard you say, "not today"
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice, there's no choice
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise

We don't believe what's on TV
Because it's what we want to see
And what we want we know we can't believe
We have all learned to kill our dreams

Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral
The world around us is burning but we're so cold
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional

I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets you're walking down
I'm fairly local, good people now

I'm a goner
Somebody catch my breath
I wanna be known by you
I wanna be known by you
I don't know why
I just feel I'm better off staying in the same room I was born in
I look outside and see a whole world
Better off without me in it trying to transform it

You are out of my mind, oh
You aren't seeing my side, oh
You waste all of this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind

The songs on the radio are okay

They say, "Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy"
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?

When the leader of the bad guys sang
Something soft and soaked in pain
(My name's BLURRYFACE and I care what you think)
I heard the echo from his secret hideaway
(My name's BLURRYFACE and I care what you think)
He must've forgot to close his door
As he cranked out those dismal chords
And his four walls declared him insane
I found my way
Right time wrong place
As I pled my case
(But now we're stressed out)

(You're the judge)
They say, "Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy"
But we go where we want to
(You're the judge)
They think this thing is a highway, highway
(Set me free)
But now we're stressed out

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from?
They say, "Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy"
I'd probably only sell one
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter
(But will they be alive tomorrow?)

Three lights are lit
But the fourth one's out
I can tell cause it's a bit darker
Than the last night's bout
I forgot about the drought
Of light bulbs in this house
So I head out
Down a route I think is heading south
Forget sanity, forget salary, forget vanity, my morality
If you get in between someone I love and me
You’re gonna feel the heat of my cavalry
All these songs I’m hearing are so heartless
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless
There’s an infestation in my mind’s imagination
I hope that they choke on smoke cause I’m smoking them out the basement
This is not rap, this is not hip-hop
Just another attempt to make the voices stop
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something
Cause I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t rushing to saying nothing
This doesn’t mean I lost my dream
It’s just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean

You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
But that’s okay I’ll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I’m driving here I sit
Cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement

I know my soul's freezing
(Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, oh, oh)
Hell's hot for good reason
So please

My shadow tilts its head at me
Spirits in the dark are waiting
I will let the wind go quietly
I will let the wind go quietly

Put away, put away
All the gods your father served today
Put away, put away
Your traditions, believe me when I say
We don't know, we don't know
How to put back the power in our soul
We don't know, we don't know
Where to find what was once in our bones

Scared of my own image
A mask of my disguise
Scared of my own ceiling
Is worse than other times
Fear might be the death of me
I'm wanted and on the run
I'm wanted and on the run so
Don't forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Don't forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Even when I doubt you
I'm no good without you, no, no

Be the one, be the one
To take my soul and make it undone
Be the one, be the one
To take me home and show me the sun
I know, I know
You can bring the fire, I can bring the bones
I know, I know
You make the fire, my bones will make it grow

Release me from the present
(Where we're from)
I'm obsessing, all these questions
Why I'm in denial
That they tried this suicidal session
Please use discretion when you're messing with the message, man
(Where we're from)
These lyrics aren't for everyone
Only few understand

I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
I know it's hard sometimes
Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind
I know it's hard sometimes

You don't know my brain
The way you know my name
You don't know my heart
The way you know my face

Gnawing on the bishops
Claw our way up their system
Repeating simple phrases
Someone holy insisted
Want the markings made on my skin
To mean something to me again
Hope you haven't left without me
Hope you haven't left without me, please

I will let the wind go quietly
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I’m

Can you save
Can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save
Can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me, oh
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
(Even when I doubt you)
For me, for me, oh
(I'm no good without you, no, no, no, no, no)
Hey! Hey!
Don't forget about me, no
Hey! Hey!
Don't forget about me, no
Hey! Hey!
Don't forget about me, no

I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
(Those stairs is where I'll be hiding all my problems)
I used to say I wanna die before I'm old
But because of you I might think twice
(My friends and I, we got a lot of problems)

I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets you're walking down
I'm fairly local, good people now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I wanted to be a better brother, better son
Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil I have done
I have none to show to the one I love
But deny, deny, denial

Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, oh, oh
That you’re alive and have a soul, oh, oh
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how

She’s the tear in my heart
I’m alive
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m on fire
She’s the tear in my heart

Gangsters don’t cry
Therefore, therefore I’m Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I’m

Where we're from, there's no sun
Our hometown's in the dark

She’s the tear in my heart
Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, take me higher
Than I’ve ever been
My heart
Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but
Now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but
(Than I’ve ever been)
Now we're stressed out
(Than I’ve ever been)
We're stressed out
(Than I’ve ever been)
My heart is my armor
She’s the tear in my heart
She’s a carver
She’s a butcher with a smile
Cut me farther
Than I’ve ever been

Why, do I kneel to these concepts?
Tempted by control, controlled by temptation
"Stay low," they say

We don't believe what's on TV
Because it's what we want to see
And what we want we know we can't believe
We have all learned to kill our dreams

I need to know
That when I fail you'll still be here
(Buh buh bah, not today)
Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds
And we'll make money selling your hair
Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah
Buh buh bah, buh buh bah
Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

As an individual, I know what it is that I'm insecure about.
Like, the certain things I don't like about myself, certain things that I don't want people to know, whatever it is.

Um, where my self-awareness starts to become hazy is how do those insecurities affect my day-to-day life?
What do I do to compensate for those insecurities?

I gave him a name, a face and a seat at the table, so I could look across the table and those are my insecurities.
And I could - I could - I could address them as what they are.

This guy is very present and then he is... defeated, at the end.
