lyrics

Everybody wants what they can’t have
And everybody walkin’ around so sad

And everybody wants to look inside
But everybody goes and runs and hides

When what you want and what you need
Then what you want to grow
You cannot feed yeah

Now everybody just lookin’ for a friend
But everybody cannot hold your hand

And everybody seems to have a plan
But everybody doesn’t understand

When what you want and what you need
Then what you want to grow
You cannot see yeah

Look in the mirror, the future shattered and broken off
Mold yourself to resemble the temple, that's burdened in your thoughts

Looking in the past, feel like mourning, when you see the loss
Your true nature, wilted under urban demo calls

Dysphagia, when the dysphoria kicking through the doors
Breaking down your mental, hear the whispers gossip in the walls

They talking bout you, but cautious to ever say your name
Camera lights flashing on the truth, illuminate the frame

Ain't real but the real ones made you
In your mind, that's all they say too
Ay yo, lay low, while the pain grow
Pain grew, face off but can't face you

You feel you building, evolving, growing, it never stops
Climbing to the top of your mountain, a breath away from ops

They suffocate on the hate, you inhaling the love
But breath don't come from the others, it's living in your lungs

Exhale the beauty, breathe it out and let the flowers grow
Bursting out the concrete, it's time to let your power show

And all the hours slow, frozen in the void so cold
See the light shining, piercing through, give the dark some hope

You ain't the person, you see reflecting back through the cracks
everybody's broken and hoping, they're covered with a patch

Impersonating a person, that don't even exist
Impressions set in a vision, living in the abyss

So as you faking and waking, your demons up to haunt
See the art inside you, the passion that drives to what you want
