[Verse 1]
I can't seem to do things different
And I start what I can't finish
I can't seem to pick up where I left off
I can't take the time to wait another day
My value drops if I slack off
My head keeps turning in my hands
My thoughts are painted on a wall
But no one looks and no one cares
My wings were clipped when I took off
My legs were crushed, can't take the stairs
And I've been off and on off
And often not, I said I cared

[Verse 2]
Too much time, waste too much light
Too much noise, I'm way too high
I throw my sign up, break the sky
Been looking, searching all my life
Strike me like a matchstick
One-trick, two-faced
Can't go any faster, I think I was too late
I just got my strength up, hanging by a shoelace
My mind is going blank, but it's going never going two ways

[Verse 3]
Do I do it for you? Do I do it for me?
Do I do it for them? Will I ever succeed?
Could I stop on a dime and get a degree
And buy nice house and kick up my feet?
One-trick pony, one winged angel
One life only, where did my hate go?
When did the time leave? Why did I stay home?
How am I surviving and who deals the death blow?

[Verse 4]
Insides cold, I don't mind it
I just lost my knife, I can't find it
I just lost my mind, I can't hide it
I can't even fight it, I won't even try it
I've got tunnel vision, consider my decisions naught
Can't find the piece I'm missing, tryna be something that I'm not
I could never listen, put all my feelings in a box
I'll take a new prescription to help me deal with my thoughts
I can't keep on running from my needs and my wants
Because I don't have the guts, but I bleed for my art
I gotta sword in my heart and a mark on my back
Summer heat on my arms, memories fade to black
I tell my brain to knock it off
Bitch, I'm running through the underground, I feel like Toby Fox
Psychedelics take me up and out and over all my thoughts
I can't stand the fucking run around, just tell me what you want

[Verse 5]
I can't stand it, I can't function
I can't breathe I'm the king of nothing
Can't you see I've got one thing coming and one thing only?
One more shot for the one-trick pony
One up, one up, extra life
I said I would man up, but I never saw the light
I've been looking searching all my motherfucking life
But I never found it you can see it in my eyes

[Verse 6]
Stressed but I keep on moving though
I throw up my sign it, break the sky, that’s how I do it though
I threw out my life, it was lie, I never knew it though
If you looked inside my mind then you would die you won't see through it though
I'm not what I once was, you're not what I might be
It's not what I wanted, it might still excite me
I gotta remind me, they can't do it like me
I get in my DAW then fuck around and make a pipe dream

[Verse 7]
Have you lost your mind?
Or was it something in the wind?
Something's floating through my head
I don't know if I'm upset
I'll be myself and no one else
I'll never find a different route
But I'm fine with that, I'm alright with that
I'll find my way even if one trick's all I have (szama)
