This is my debut single. It’s a song about my battle with depression and the volatility of mental health. I hope y'all can’t relate. But if you can, I hope this song brings you comfort and a source of healing. Curious to see which lyrics y'all pick up on.
[Intro]
Neverland fly
The clouds been lifted from my eyes
Some times I’m low but
Then again I’m high
Shit, most of the time I’m frozen alone
While I'm falling from heights
And trapezing the rope
While I'm toeing down the borderline
I'm coping to find peace in my mind
And I'm only sort of fine
My mind state been swirly, steady
Spinning but never an ending
I've been the orbital type
I drop low but in one minute
You'll see me soaring to heights when I am
[Chorus]
Neverland fly
Higher than high
The clouds been lifted from my eyes
Life is a bitch but I’ll be fine
When I’m on my lost boy shit
I'm flyer than fly
And I feel better than I did last night
Here come the Hook, look
[Post-Chorus]
I been low, so yeah, I know
When lows will go and pass me by
So, pass me by don’t ask me why I am
Aye, don’t ask me why I am
[Verse 1]
Aye, don’t ask me why, just pass me by like a ship in the night
Come from the south, where the tide packin a bit of a bite
And where that river runnin high in the middle of night
Keeping me awake, insomniac so I don’t sleep
But still I have dark dreams that are scary as a bitch
But it's nothing worse than a sunrise at five
While you just wish that you could go to sleep
Eyes wide open, but my mirror wouldn’t notice me
So look me in the face and tell me, do you know it’s me?
I treat myself much worse than I allow you to see
I talk about self worth, but homie how could it mean a damn thing when it’s all a guise, to no surprise I’m all disguised
But when I close both of my eyes, I am
[Chorus]
Neverland fly
Higher than high
The clouds been lifted from my eyes
Life is a bitch but I’ll be fine
When I’m on my lost boy shit
I'm flyer than fly
And I feel better than I did last night
Here come the Hook, look
[Post-Chorus]
I been low
So yeah, I know
When lows will go and pass me by
So, pass me by, don’t ask me why I Am
Aye
Don’t ask me why I am
[Verse 2]
Don’t ask me why I’m higher than high
I struggle to breathe
And I got air trapped my lungs
From 2003
And it's some thoughts stuck in my mind
Hiding way in the back
And they got no plans to graduate
Just to stay in the class, but I pray they could pass
Past fears
Old enough to cop a fifth of Ciroc
I'm droppin tears
That could top a cruise ship on the spot
And I’m giving advice
That in my life, I’m never trying to take
I got my own life
But I stay writing, just to find an escape
Cause I’m blind as a bat
But I'm rabid as a lion encaged
Spent a lotta my time running
From what I had to face
And I don’t need ya diagnosis
I know, I am a case of up and down, back and forth
But still I'm higher than space
When I am
[Chorus]
Neverland fly
Higher than high
The clouds been lifted from my eyes
Life is a bitch but I’ll be fine
When I’m on my lost boy shit
I'm flyer than fly
And I feel better than I did last night
[Verse 3]
Listen, I refuse to crawl through my days
With your label attached
I won’t fall to a phrase
Like a blade in my back
I don’t need you to say that I’m straight
Words wouldn’t mean shit
That tornado inside my brain
Been staying put til it twists
And I’m a swirling emotional shuffle
With every click
I bounce up and down to the clock
I swing with every tick
And I never read shit
Man, it must have been some warnings I missed
Look, I wake up just to hit the snooze
Because the morning a bitch
[Outro]
She walk in the door
Making me feel unimportant as shit
I can’t breathe til I leave
And go outdoors for a bit
And wonder why
In all this time that I could ever forget
Yeah, stupid ass
How could I ever forget that I am
