Slow On Purpose

2 time true  .mp3

a song about those feelings you aren't going to tell people because there's bigger problems out in the world but doesn't make them feel any less real 


Champagne problems 
Mascara issues 
My ivory tower
Littered in tissues 
I’ll erase these words 
That you won’t understand 
Just written in wrinkles
On the palm of my hand 
When I look out the window 
The fallacy fades
My eyes staring back
As the demon degrades

They tell me to feel 
But who do I face
don’t have a spare key 
To my darkest place 
They say I’ll soon heal
Just give myself grace
They don’t lie in my tears 
At the end of the day 

Maybe you lie in your own
Our mascara issues that nobody knows

Champagne problems 
Mascara matters
The castle crumbles
As my life crashes
I’ll keep it back 
You won’t understand 
But I’ll leave signals 
That won’t look planned
When I look from the night sky 
The canopy caves
My feet through the crack 
As my grieving grenades

Mascara Issues

LYRICS WRITTEN & PERFORMED BY Amare Symoné:

Throughout all the bad
And the ups and downs
I am still here 
On my own two feet
Sometimes it’s so hard 
To leave all pain away in the past
I’m gon’ make my joy forever lastin’

Even through the 
Ups and downs
Even all the times I’ve frowned
All my bad been made into some good
Cause we made it

Yeah, we here
Yeah, we here 
Right on time

Them bad days was hard
But, I worked through those parts
I’m so blessed
I was stressed
I can finally say

That we made it
Yeah we here
Yeah we here 
Right on time

Always had to work three times harder
Just to prove i was smart if not even smarter
Loud voices creep in my head
Say I might as well forget it all
Got all this fight inside of me
Prayed to god that she’d give me
All the hunger I need
To proceed, do you feel me?
They tried to beat me down
Box me in, Break my kin
But in the end, all we did was win, win, win

Made it through the
Ups and downs
Made it past times I’ve frowned
All my bad has changed for the good
YES, we made it

Yeah, we here
Yeah, we here 
Right on time
Them bad days was hard
Yet I worked through them parts
I’m so blessed
I was stressed
I can finally say

That we made it
Yeah we here
Yeah we here 
Right on time

Never down long enough ‘cause i’m gone keep my head high
Never down long enough ‘cause i’m gone keep my head high
Never down long enough ‘cause i’m gone keep my head high, high, high, high, high, high, high
