just a glimpse within a cell another slip to tip the scale uncharted weight, so listen well for the curtain has something behind it a mastermind when hiding a silent killer here for a long time not a good time if you deny it claim it's just a phase then prepare to face the mess it made

yeah I been doing this on my own grab a mirror and watch my back so I'm not feeling alone all my friends are imaginary or some of em are ghost's i'm independent because i've seen too many pinocchios everythings been bottled i got no more room to hold it it's been leaking for a while but I'm never gon slip now I'm knee deep in my problems you gon see me rowing i'm getting sucked up in the current don't know where i'm going (hook) why these things always appear surprising i see em happen i don't even take my eye out i don't feel much anymore i guess i'm fine now i got too much on my mind and put too much on the side (4x) what you gonna do with everything you hold in nobody's gonna save you better flick your own switch i send myself to the Frontlines take care other people's problems don't take care of mine i got a lot of shit that imma try to hide i'm a fucking broken record when i say I'm fine fighting my demons tell nobody nothing til it is resolved i trip then I fall if I were to slip i would say it ain't nobody's fault the truth I hide my face is jeckle i say I'm better but just remember told you a lie i'm self aware but i get scared when I'm wondering who the fuck am i
3.	who am i 03:01	lyrics	buy track
i wrote my name but don't know what it mean i"m just a message in a bottle that is lost at sea i'm solving a puzzle and lost a part of me i question everything like I am Socrates i don't know myself and don't know if I'll figure it out if I chill in the green room will I get judged by the house and act like they know me and what I'm about so I'll just sit here and ponder with my head in the clouds (chorus) i look back at the stars and then I wonder who am I do you gotta be a star to see the light i question myself but i don't get any answers sometimes I feel like a spec but a spec is the planet i"m smaller than pixels that is picked up from a camera i take a look at my pictures to see if it's how I planned it i see the reflection but sometimes don't see the message if deemed to be like DMs then I guess seeing is just helpless cause we just look at our past when we feel in the present i'll figure out who I am by pulling the weeds with these lessons (chorus)

9.	weightless 01:47	lyrics	buy track
is this what you asked for i need to leave this place i wanna open up the hatch door i need to be in space i wanna open up the hatch door but you're telling me to stay stuck in this capsule and I float i can't keep my feet on the ground i've been looking for the door i can't find the way out starting to slip so you better go check on me once I start losing my mind then you'll start to see problems on problems but nobody's calling em batteries draining from waiting on all of you who's gonna save em 3rd person, that job I'll take it so the ones closest do not spend their time blaming themselves for not lending any help i guess I gotta solve em all myself but you're never gonna see the signs cause in the shadows they hide i don't see an end in sight debating taking my life it's getting harder to see the outside windows are foggy, I don't see the light losing my mind holding on weight but I will become weightless when I fly (hook) ups and downs all the time feeling weightless

(chorus) i'm running out of time i run away when the times right you got a grip on my mind i'm the one who slips on the inside i can't help how I feel do you know what that feels like i wish for you here i'm needing more of you in my life withdrawal i really miss you, and I used to get missed calls got no signal up here when you make me liftoff i'd do anything for you I got a big heart it's a big target i got plenty of time but not enough with you that's why I'm feeling low you're a drug that I can't use you got strings tied to my heart that can't get loose if I tried to pull em out my heart would split in 2 (chorus) i'm running out of time had many chances that I let pass me by i'm scared to gamble never roll the dice but I'm stuck biting dust more than mites scared to shoot my shots even when aiming between the eyes the way Im feeling inside butterflies spreading like butter knifes know that I could never cut the ties i'm needing more of you inside my life but if I can't live with you it feels like I'm gonna die but but i won't end it all cause I never wanna hurt ya i entertain these thought often cause my heads a circus sick of putting on an act and you've only seen the surface but you've been driving me crazy and I'm going in circles i think about you more though I see you less just so you know theres more to the words I said i wanna see you happy but i'm tired of being sad am I selfish if I want a life with you, like in my head (chorus)

13.	wings 03:40	lyrics	buy track
you cant clip my wings i'm going beyond infinity before you fly you scrape your knees but you're getting all of me we gon be ok we gon be ok we gon be ok ok cause we know that you gotta shoot first like solo not Greedo we gon be ok we gon be ok we gon be o ok cause we know we gotta learn from our pain and mistakes that's how we grow i got places to go and a hand that I ain't gon fold i'll give y'all something to see showing something y'all ain't seen before i haven't been given a key so I'm gonna kick in the door i'm growing my wings now my feet done touching the floor i'm gonna be a lot higher than you think my limits on my mind when I go to sleep why you always try to get a hold of me gonna fly when you think you froze my feet growing my wings but I ain't dead yet this is my ascension y'all never paid attention now I came to levi- tate, on the game but y'all still hate love the way the sun feels but y'all came to throw shade okay i'm used to that but we ain't back in the old days could never find my group i made one with the other stowaways i ain't worried about that those are old pains showing no emotion keep it Keaton with the stone face but fuck that, being vulnerable is a strength learning to defend yourself for whatever's coming your way nobodys ever developed by being safe even though I growing my wings nobody's showing the way i gotta figure that out when on my own inevitably traveling on a bumpy road seeing visions of being high when I'm feeling low my wings stay getting bigger wherever I go i grow
