Own Eyes Lyrics
[Chorus]
Somebody, get me out this cell
I'm so trapped inside myself
When I see me through my own eyes
Should look uglier than hell
Wished when I touched upon my skin
I liked the way it felt
'Cause when I look into the mirror
I wish I saw somebody else
[Verse 1]
I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a boy with some six pack abs
And a sweet Cadillac who would take the time to call me
Uh, I wish bein' a father wasn't the way to game
And my brain weren't always so hollow
I wish I wasn't so insistent on stayin' the same
And that change didn't seem like a monster
I hide under covers, I layer like onions
Swear I'll be ogre, swear nobody love me
Swear I be so self-pityin' that even self-pity walked up
And was like, "Damn, dude, you need a hug, B?"
All the kings' men through threw my pieces on junk heap
I'm somethin' like Humpty, I'm a big walkin' eggshell
That crack into fragments, I used to be one piece
Man, somebody love me, man, somebody love me
[Chorus]
Somebody, get me out this cell
I'm so trapped inside myself
When I see me through my own eyes
Should look uglier than hell
Wished when I touched upon my skin
I liked the way it felt
'Cause when I look into the mirror
I wish I saw somebody else
[Verse 2]
Self-love be a popular gospel
But secular reading been a hard thing to swallow
I'm bad at turnin' the pages, I'm better with audio
I wanna change up my thoughts, throwin' all to my process
It ain't sustainable to hate 'til you hollow
'Til you turn to a bottle that could house a whole ship
Think it's time I started tryna model somethin' more positive than this cryin' and bitch
But I gotta find somethin' that can change my view of the world
'Cause, really, it's the way that you think
Think this here is the brink, I'm breakin' out of my cell
Think when I look into the mirror, I should try and see me
[?] to myself, think I'm turnin' the leaf
Think when I see me through my own eyes, it's time to see me
And realize the same person out here who buildin' the boss
Is the same one who holdin' the key
