[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Chorus]
I'm
Caught! And I'm feeling tied up, tied up
Tryna be a better man
Caught! And I'm feeling fired up, fired up
Hot than a ceiling fan
[Verse 1]
I'm bleeding from my legs but it's alright today
It's better out here than the hell where I stay
I say, my feelings start to wobble when I stare at the doves
I'm fighting through life, I have no boxing gloves
I punch my way through hell, what other choice can I chose?
The puppet strings tug from my head to my toes
I said, the world is getting salty, that's the way that it goes
It's Sodom and Gomorrah
Vogue, strike a pose, uh
[Chorus]
Caught! And I'm feeling tied up, tied up
Tryna bе a better man
Caught! And I'm feeling fired up, firеd up
Hot than a ceiling fan
[Verse 2]
Dance my way through demons
Mama told me, "Give 'em hell!"
Dancing in the darkness
I'm the boy inside the well
Grab, grab, grab, for any piece of my part
Stab, stab, stab, there goes the beat of my heart
Pump that thing right back
'Cause, damn, what else can I do?
I can wait here for Godot or pick my legs up and move
They only let me whimper when I'm crying to a groove
It's a wild west
Baby, life's a saloon
[Bridge]
Tick tock, let me see
Tick tock, tick tock, set me free
(Burn the clock, I'm tryna fight the time)
Tick tock, tick tock, let me see
(Burn the clock, I'm tryna fight the time)
Tick tock
(Time, ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm-)
[Chorus]
Caught! And I'm feeling tied up, tied up
Tryna be a better man
Caught! And I'm feeling fired up, fired up
Hot than a ceiling fan
Caught! And I'm feeling tied up, tied up
Tryna be a better man
Caught! And I'm feeling fired up, fired up
Hot than a ceiling fan
[Outro]
I'm the struggler
Ain't no way to love ya
I'm the struggler
Ain't no way to love ya
I'm the struggler
Ain't no way to love ya
I'm the struggler
(I can't breathe, there's demons on my flesh)
The struggler
Ain't no way to love ya
I'm the struggler
Ain't no way to love ya
I'm the struggler
Ain't no way to love ya
I'm the struggler

I feel like it’s easy to identify qualities when you put it into a character or a piece of fiction, but in reality, it’s all drawn from how I’m seeing human beings. It’s all of these qualities I see in everyday people that we don’t acknowledge in ourselves every day. We don’t give ourselves enough c...
