[Hook]
I been drowning
Tell me I can't swim
Never frowning
I can't ever win
You been clowning
I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim
I been drowning
Tell me I can't swim
Never frowning
I can't ever win
You been clowning
I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim
[Verse]
In the middle of a battleground
I've been tryna keep the peace, but I think I hear the klaxons sound
Sending in the second wave
All these little people with their messages invading my brain
They've been telling me I fail at every turn, taking the wheel
Why don't you take me for a whirl, hijack how I feel
I'm sprinting to the front line with a white flag
But both sides are on the hunt like I'm a prized stag
I've been, uh, under control from these people who think
They can tell me what fills up the hole
But you're never gon' sell me a dream or mirage
Where I'm feeling so healthy cause I feel so empty
It makes me feel meek, look in the mirror and I'm relating to Reek
Losing my name, forget who I am, clear out my brain like a folder of spam, yuh
Defenses at the ready
I've been keeping the boat steady
Baggage staying pretty heavy
Celebrate defeat, confetti
[Hook]
I been drowning
Tell me I can't swim
Never frowning
I can't ever win
You been clowning
I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim
I been drowning
Tell me I can't swim
Never frowning
I can't ever win
You been clowning
I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim
I been drowning
Tell me I can't swim
Never frowning
I can't ever win
You been clowning
I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim
I been drowning
Tell me I can't swim
Never frowning
I can't ever win
You been clowning
I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim, I feel like a sim
Battleground was written by Solomon Rennie.
Solomon Rennie released Battleground on Fri Apr 17 2020.
This is the prelude to my upcoming album. It’s not gonna be on there, but it follows a similar theme. The whole song represents the calm before the storm, and the buildup to the clash that is inevitably going to happen in the battleground of my head.
