​protection

[Intro]
I was always told to think outside the box
I don't open up too well
Maybe if you fiddle with my lock
Maybe if you get inside my head
You'll understand why I wanna be dead
All the fucked up things I said

[Verse 1]
I was always told to think outside the box
I don't open up too well
Maybe if you fiddle with my lock
Maybe if you get inside my head
You'll understand why I wanna be dead
All the fucked up things I said
Swear I forget I was born for this
Maybe I should call it quits
I always said I could never win
Mind over matter, right?
I don't wanna fight with my inner self, right?
I keep taking L's
I keep trying, but this shit's hell

[Chorus]
I feel like I'm under prеssure
I'm trying so hard
I'm sick of hearing all thesе lectures
I'm sorry, maybe I'll learn by next year
I wanna go far
Will there be anything left here? (left here)
Left here out in the open
My heart's so cold, it's frozen

[Post-Chorus]
No, I don't let anyone in
No, I don't let anyone in
No, I don't let anyone in
Fuck them
Yeah, yuh

[Verse 2]
You lose yourself in the end
Your friends will always play pretend
So put up your walls
So you will get protected
You will lose your self, yeah, you will lose your self
Is this really worth tryna get help?
No, but I wanna make it
Even if I have to fake it
If I see the chance I'ma fucking take it
Yeah, I'ma fucking take it
If I see the chance I'ma fucking take it
If you lose yourself in the end
Your friends will always play pretend
Woah
I know I was made for this shit, yuh
Everyone told me to quit, yuh
I'm never stopping
That's why when I finish the album
It will be the first thing I'm proud of dropping
I'm never stopping
I know how I can make this shit grow, yeah
I know I can make it home
Only thing is, my brain's stuck in depressed mode
And no one even knows, yuh
No one even know
Always playing pretend
Using your words like a weapon
And like I said, I let it happen
I got a path I wanna go
I'll show you my method
Everything is flopping
But that's what I expected
Maybe I'll keep some retention
Who the fuck likes my voice? I don't
Maybe I should just hang out with a rope
Coughing up blood after I smoke
That's a lot to take in, my soul can't take it
I bought new shoes
And I don't even have time to break them in, yuh
Everyone so headstrong
I feel trapped
I'ma keep trying this until my lungs collapse
Until I'm in my mansion counting my racks

[Chorus]
I feel like I'm under pressure
I'm trying so hard
I'm sick of hearing all these lectures
I'm sorry, maybe I'll learn by next year
I wanna go far
Will there be anything left here?
Left here out in the open
My heart's so cold, it's frozen

[Outro]
No, I don't let anyone in
No, I don't let anyone in
No, I don't let anyone in
No, I don't let anyone in
I keep my circle thin
