Hiding

[Verse 1: Russ]
Wait, wait, wait
Why you creeping? You don't wanna see what time I'm on
Wait, wait, wait
Now I'm leaving, you don't wanna see what time I'm on
Wait, wait, wait
You wanna play that game, well, so do I
Wait, wait, wait
You wanna hide all day, all day, all night
Wait, wait, wait

[Verse 2: Saleka]
I feel
My body disappear
This nightmare feels so real
You're all I want my dear, my dear, my dear

[Chorus: Saleka]
Can't breathe with this on my chest
It's getting dire
Greed gon' make me confess
All my desires
Leave me, it's for the best
I can't keep hiding from myself
From myself, from myself
Hiding from myself

[Verse 2: Russ]
Perpetual punishment is what I put myself through
Lack of self-forgiveness is the reason I can't move
Shackled to the lack of reconciling with my past
I don't feel safe, I make mistakes, I need to brace for impact
When, in fact, letting go lowers the knife that I'm holding
To my own throat but maybe I don't like not knowing
Who's gonna protect me if I'm not on high alert and unprepared?
I needed protection as a kid, but protection wasn't there
But I'm 30 now, my dad can't be bothered to help
I said I'm 30 now, I gotta learn to father myself
See the pain that I've been pushin' down is boiling now
Tried shootin' at my shadow, I'm recoiling now
Tormented, tour ended but the shows' not over
I gotta deal with the boos from my own thoughts sober
What's my future look like without my toxic mascot?
Will they still love Russell if I take the mask off?

[Chorus: Saleka]
Can't breathe with this on my chest
It's getting dire
Greed gon' make me confess
All my desires
Leave me, it's for the best
I can't keep hiding from myself
From myself, from myself
Hiding from myself
Done fighting, fighting for this hell
Done hiding, hiding from myself
Done fighting, fighting for this hell
Done hiding, hiding from myself

[Verse 3: Russ]
Wait, wait, wait
Why you creeping? You wanna see what time I'm on
Wait, wait, wait
Now I'm leaving, you don't wanna see what time I'm on
Wait, wait, wait
You wanna play that game, well, so do I
Wait, wait, wait
You wanna hide all day, all day, all night?

[Chorus: Saleka]
Can't breathe with this on my chest
It's getting dire
Greed gon' make me confess
All my desires
Leave me, it's for the best
I can't keep hiding from myself
From myself, from myself
Hiding from myself
Done fighting, fighting for this hell
Done hiding, hiding from myself
Done fighting, fighting for this hell
Done hiding, hiding from myself
