Predators

[Chorus]
The Predators, down time
Wishing I was outside
I wipe the shadows off my skin
X4

[Verse 1]
Fix me
My ability to focus is flimsy
Retracing footsteps briskly to find the darkness literally
On the other side of the fence
I thought that I was helping it
I'm distracted by kick drums
Just another one of my symptoms
I hope I live down to my expectations, wait
I heard there's more to life besides writing and pretending that I'm immortalized
Like plastic in a landfill
Digest me with a glass of water, a hip-hop tablet of Advil
Genesis in the doctor's sample
I'm trying to retreat as a hermit with bad cursive
Adverse with an urgent scrambled message and a self-trampled exit
Why pretend I like to pretend I'm balancing like most of you?
I live in the palace of dreams with no roof
And the rent is overdue
And the rent is overdue
And the rent is overdue

[Chorus]
The Predators, down time
Wishing I was outside
I wipe the shadows off my skin
X4

[Verse 2]
In the start
I thought it was only gonna be fun and games
Little did I know the stress that the future contained
Sometimes I can't breathe, sometimes I can't stand me
I wish that I was safe from being another artistic casualty
The love is still in there somewhere
Encapsulated between the ink and the pages
Waiting to surround me like a warm blanket
I'm threatened by all six sides, but I don't desire to run
I don't change enough
I'm constantly divided by one, biting my tongue
Trying as hard as I can to release the ill
There goes Sape again
Literal not ever making sense
Picture me abusing similes
I would rather abuse the commercial industry
For tainting the beauty that I need

[Chorus]
The Predators, down time
Wishing I was outside
I wipe the shadows off my skin
