Pass On By

[Verse 1: Kydd]
They say the struggle and pain that you feel every day lets you know you're alive ( you're alive)
How can that be 'cause physically I am here, but I'm dead inside (inside)
I wake up every day and get rushed by anxiety, why even try? (try)
And since I'm a man, there's nobody to go to so now you know that I can't cry (can't cry)
And now, it's just me again
Feeling like I can't breathe again
Look at that man, so I'm eating him
Starting to think those smiles are pretense
So I pour my heart into beats and
Tryna go live on the weekend
Thinking I'm losing my fuckin' mind, but I'm trying not to fall off the deep end
That's crazy 'cause I ('cause I)
Thought I had this shit all figured out (figured out)
But apparently, the universe gave me a different route (different route)
So I'm back at the drawing board just tryna write it down (down)
I'm sailing through a perfect storm just tryna ride it out
I said the only thing that scares me is losing to myself
My own worst enemy–I do it to myself
Feel like I've tried everything but nothing seems to help
So I put on this fake face so nobody can tell

[Chorus: Kydd]
Wake up and put your mask on, Aye
Quietly watch as people pass on by
Some days are just a sad song, Aye
Dying to live, but we're just living to die
Wake up and put your mask on, Aye
Quietly watch as people pass on by
Some days are just a sad song, Aye
Dying to live, but we're just living to die

[Verse 2: Mass of Man]
I struggle to succeed
And help is what I need
'Cause my life is difficult
And not as easy as it seems
People think it's fairytales, enchanted and extreme
But the media's deceiving: it's a dream and make-believe
I wanna be happy
But I cannot comprehend how
And I hate how my life is
So I try and find a way out
How am I gonna do this
When I only feel like I'm useless?
An emotional wreck who's only
Good at making this music
Pain is real and I deal with it
I feel this shit in my bones
And healing, it's impossible when I sit alone in my home
I hate that I fake happiness, I'm mad at myself
The life I live is tragic and it's bad for my health
I fake a smile daily and it's getting hard to do
I have to pick a path but I don't know which one to choose
Life is like a chess game, I'm scared to make a move
But my time is ticking fast if I don't pick a path–I lose

[Chorus: Kydd]
Wake up and put your mask on, Aye
Quietly watch as people pass on by
Some days are just a sad song, Aye
Dying to live, but we're just living to die
Wake up and put your mask on, Aye
Quietly watch as people pass on by
Some days are just a sad song, Aye
Dying to live, but we're just living to die
