Some nights I sit in stress Trying to decompress Might get eight hours sleep but never feel refreshed Got told once before I might be depressed Although compared to half the world life in the West seems blessed It's messed up And I'm confused as f*ck Need to declutter my mind of all the useless stuff It's messed up And it's never enough Trends change so quick that you can never keep up Memory's fucked, my attention span's cut in half Scrolling past documentaries in search of a laugh On the long road to nowhere but I'm getting there fast Waiting for the right moment, now the moment has passed Constant distraction leads to my inaction Do you ever feel like you only ever use a fraction of your brain's ability? Overwhelmed with imagery Most useful thing I own can often be my enemy It zaps my energy and my motivation Provides me endless sources of procrastination Never leave home without it so Big Brother can watch me Give it everything it needs, modern day Tamagotchi It tells you you're not good enough, you need to conform Every action is recorded from the moment you're born Throughout human evolution this was never the norm But you just follow all the others like a good little pawn I mean, thank God that I found this pen So when it gets to me I can just sit and vent Tell myself it's not me so it must be them And ignore the fact that I can feel it happen again Am I losing my mind or just losing my patience? Played the long game but now I'm tired of waiting I realise I haven't truly smiled in ages Grip the pen so tight I start ripping up slits in the pages Vultures hover over my cage A lot of people seem to tell me I'm too old for my age Writing rap's the only outlet that I know for my rage Hopeless romantic who's left loveless in a digital age Am I blazing a new trail or am I trailing behind? Am I the odd one out or am I one of a kind? They say the one-eyed man is king in the land of the blind But does the world outside match what I see in my mind? If a man is an island, I could be the remotest Buried on that island there's an underground fortress At the centre of that fortress a titanium vault Where I store years of mistakes and shit I see as my fault But I never tell a soul, even those who care Only see a curation of what I'm willing to share People are funny, they're never quite what they seem I'm less scared of my fears than I am of my dreams Do good things come to those who wait? F*ck that! You leave it any longer and you'll leave it too late Never know when you'll meet Peter at the pearly gates There's nothing sadder than potential in an early grave On that note, I'm done following suit Need to pack up all my shit, find myself a new route Got to get my act together, put distractions on mute Stop wasting so much time on a trivial pursuit Brainfog clogging up your head The alarm goes but you just want to stay in bed You keep giving up your day for your daily bread While you're picking up your pay your brain's barely fed Your soul tells you you should leave but you stay instead Deep down you know the truth but you play pretend You want to make a difference, help change the trend But the world's the same place when you get back to bed You're late again today, don't even have an excuse You tighten up your tie like a corporate noose You set off with a sigh, every day lacks fulfilment You never know how a long a day is till you're counting the minutes It drains your energy, trying to keep focus You get home burnt out and your dreams seem hopeless Giving up this job would mean a hit to your wealth But sticking at it long-term could be a risk to your health You think your duty on this earth is to earn a crust You suck it up, ignore the fact you're stuck in a rut Forget about the moral of the Midas touch And think The dark ain't so bad once your eyes adjust Til one day you wake up and you realise The spark's disappeared from behind your eyes You told yourself you'd quit like a thousand times But today must be the day you take your own advice
