​my mind (intro)

[Verse]
I’m suffocating, I’m buried alive
Trapped by the anxiety I keep buried inside
My anxiety's a monster yeah it's eating me alive
Sometimes it feels like I won’t survive

Waking in the morning, can't get out of bed
Hard to get up when I'm trapped in my head
Keep telling myself everything's ok
Just get up, it'll be a good day

Once I get out of bed I put on my mask
Faking a smile I hope no one can see past
Telling people I'm ok whenever they ask
But I'm breaking inside, my heart is made of glass

Wearing this mask is starting to get tiring
Trying to look happy when I feel like crying
Maybe I should take off my mask and share what I'm feeling
But will people accept the real me?

Will they tell me to toughen up? tell me to be a man?
Or will they try to help me by lending me a hand?
Will they pull me out of the water and put me back on land?
I don't know, and I don't care. I just want help, yeah I need a breath of air

I get alone in my zone, with my only luminescence from the glow of a phone
Sitting in the dark charting rhymes in multiple charts, using multiple parts
Train my mind inside the cage of a functional art
I like to hurl words in any given order
Throw em in a pile past the left side red line border
With a pen on the side cattle ranching the herd
While I medicate the mind with a bowl full of herb
I ain't a Martian but I never felt apart of this world
Never stuck to a friend, or even glued to a girl
It seems I'm always in my room trynna get in the zone
Pretending I don't need a soul when I'm really alone
You see tomorrow in your eyes will be better than most
You'll tell your friends we said goodbye in the presence of hope
But in reality, you said that all your feelings went cold
And when I asked if we could try again you said I don't know
So I don't know if I’ll continue in your world anymore
Sitting by on the side, while I burn at the core
Cracking up inside, like an inside joke
Fall in love with the pain, as my veins go cold

I’m suffocating, I’m buried alive
Trapped by the anxiety I keep buried inside
My anxiety's a monster yeah it's eating me alive
Sometimes it feels like I won’t survive

Waking in the morning, can't get out of bed
Hard to get up when I'm trapped in my head
Keep telling myself everything's ok
Just get up, it'll be a good day

Once I get out of bed I put on my mask
Faking a smile I hope no one can see past
Telling people I'm ok whenever they ask
But I'm breaking inside, my heart is made of glass

Wearing this mask is starting to get tiring
Trying to look happy when I feel like crying
Maybe I should take off my mask and share what I'm feeling
But will people accept the real me?
