Don’t Damage Yourself

[Verse 1]
Feels like I can't wake up, still I've gotta fight
Living out scenes from my nightmares horror-like
Quarantine, hobble 'cause I've got 'em weak
Stabbing at my veins trying to find what is wrong with me
Heart torn as I'm sitting in isolation
Fight is fading, energy dulled by the medication
Looking for inspiration, an impatient patient
Losing my lust for picture painting
When the facts are so ugly why frame it?
I try tame it, but undeniable pain and physical got me
Losing my conscience as I sit in the lobby distant and foggy
IV after IV blurred my thinking
A first then a second then a third opinion
But how am I supposed to take it in when I can barely say to him
I feel shit tryna regain my faith again?
Start to wake up, fight returns to me
Friends, loved ones and their kind words to me
It's like I dodged a bullet and rehabilitated
Now I've got to pay attention, no more living bacon
Or in a way that is harmful, gotta lead by example
To activate the positive energy it inflates love
No more hate struck, channel aggression and keep my face up

[Hook]
Slow down before you damage yourself
Why you love all the things that are bad for your health?
Gotta take care and manage it well
You ain't indestructible with your arrogant self
Slow down before you damage yourself
Why you love all the things that are bad for your health?
Gotta take care and manage it well
You ain't indestructible with your arrogant self
