lyrics

This ain't my career but I'm also not a hobbyist.
Find me either talking shit
or reveling in awkwardness.
If I'm famous posthumous
give money to my nephews.
Cause I want a legacy
worth more than just views.
This mountain I've been climbing
feels so unforgiving.
Gets harder to commit
when you know someone's listening.
I can't hear the metronome.
I just want some better poems.
Is this worth even doing?
I guess I'll just never know.
How many records can I make
to fill a void?
If it feels good to live through tragedy
is it joy?
I went looking for something and
lost myself wholeheartedly.
Tried to climb upwards
and found it partially hard to breathe.
I guess this is my life's work.
And I'm proud if that's how pride works.
But I've been praying at the altar of an angry god.
Waiting for a future I don't want still hanging on.

I never saw my name in lights.
Never wanted the fame
I didn't think it was right.
I thought I'd need all eyes on me.
But when people start staring
I don't wanna be seen.

I'm cashing in my view counts.
Asking for a new sound.
Don't ask me where the truth's found.
I'm the burnt candle you blew out.
Achievements made me too proud.
Wish I knew then what I knew now.
Every day's the newest trial.
All we wanna do is smile.
