-Lyrics - 

Chorus: Days disappear 
I wash up with the tide in my tears 
Haunted caress 
of duress blooming into my fears 
Smoke in my chest 
from this stress building over the years 
What did you hear about me? 
Did it revere or doubt me? 

Verse 1: I’m insecure 
in the measure of time 
Days just betray me 
and muddle my mind 
I fall behind 
I can’t rewind 
the consequences of 
settling my senses 

My mental mess 
keeps me restless 
making me fall 
into more foolishness 
I may unveil 
to you 
all of these tales 
but who will you see 
when you contemplate me? 

(Chorus) 
(Bridge) 

Verse 2: Some think I’m ruled 
by the rich and refined 
Some think I’m lured into 
leisure divine 
But if they knew 
how much I do 
try to stay grounded 
with solace resounded 

Still every time 
conflict I find 
this deeply subconscious 
inertia of mine 
I may prevail 
after numerous fails 
But who will I be 
when you think about me? 

(Chorus) 

Outro: And who will i be when you’re thinking about me? 
would you be better off with or without me? 
do you believe in me or do you doubt me? 
doubt me? doubt me? 

(do you believe in me or do you doubt me? ) 
who will you see when you’re checking me out? 
(do you believe in me or do you doubt me?) 
how would you know what my habits amount to? 
(do you believe in me or do you doubt me?) 
will you give up on me or can you figure me out? 
(doubt me? doubt me? doubt me?)

Disappear

LYRICS WRITTEN & PERFORMED BY Amare Symoné:

Some days I would give up
Couldn't pull myself out
I was never meeting standards
Heart starts to meander
Wanting to be enough 
Never fit into labels 
I've got my own self touch
Who are you to question me
Who am i and who i be is true to me
And that’s all that matters
Self-care and self love be the answers through the rough
But here I stand still, wondering, wondering

When will I be enough?
When will I be enough?
When will I be enough?

Hopelessness hides me in his corner 
Can't love myself and no one else 
I’d rather be a loner
Motivation been left the scene
Doubt ran up and murdered me
I gotta be hard on myself
If not me then everybody else
Strong as hell
That’s how they meant to breed us
Ain’t never really had the privilege 
for some sorrow neither
But the weaker my bones feel
The more tired my soul grow
So why should I even fight it anymore, anymore?

When will I be enough?
When will I be enough?
When will I be enough?
When will I be enough?
When, will, I, be, enough?
I’ll never be enough.

Trust Me Imma Fly away
I'll fly away from here 
So far away
I'll fly away (x2)

I'll fly so far
Away from here
Far from the pain
Far from the tears
I'll fly away
I'll find my way
To better days

Trust Me Imma Fly Away

closing a chapter and making it matter,
matter of fact I'm just faking the funk
treat you as if your love wasn't a factor
when really I feind for a fraction of love
drunk off distractions
I swerve on my passions
like who the fuck am I here trying to be?
how can I wanna inspire the masses 
when I can't find shit to inspire me
damn...
maybe I'll write it out and understand
maybe I'll find out just who I am
I'm just hoping that the proof in the paper
I'm just hoping that it's sooner than later
I'm just hoping patience inching towards greatness
cuz granted I want it
granted I know I'm the shit and I'm on it
know I'm ANOINTED
spirits surround me 
I'm tryna decipher if that means 
I'm blessed or I'm haunted
know that your thoughts are important
and everything you think today
could easily manifest your tomorrow
if I tell you whats real
would you be there to defend me?
if I tell you my deal
would you be there for pretend or as a friend?
I need to know these things
because if you bout it, I'm bout it
lets play no games
no games, no games
no games no games
no games, no games
we used to chain smoke black and milds
Carlo rossi while we roll the tree
eggplant parmesan, wilding out,
reciting poetry...
young and dumb and beautiful
ascending to a higher plane
too young and dumb and beautiful 
to see beyond our own mess
yes...
I see the growth
but I feel the pain
we all know that in the end
we're all alone and try to compensate
so it goes
we all scared
feelin' this and say another thing
just be true, yea
true to you, yea
you can win without the race
but who am I?
who am I?

who am I?
