trapped in a box

lyrics
--------
remember when they said we wouldn’t strive
but we wrote it out and cracked the fucking code
remember when we lost our fucking minds
so sedated shit but now we on the road

the flowers out back if you wanna catch a glimpse
come thru to the crib you can see just how i grow
seltzer habit i’m a caffeine addict
two matches strike the pack so you can see the ember glow
full screen this one you gon wanna see the wrist
cause i’ve been icy in this bitch and it’s just me and all my bros
flow so clean i’ve been rolling in the deep
with a dell and a yeti maybe i should take it slow

wait
this the part that i haven’t yet made
ugh i hate when i’m alone in this place
my mind isn’t made up about today
but so far this weeks looking fucking great

monday we was in a gorgeous place
yeah tuesday we hit traffic in LA
uhh wednesday took another trip to the bay
yeah thursday drove for like 12 hours straight
ugh friday we was up in rose city
saturday just passed yeah it’s 1:43
now it’s sunday praying for another way
all i’m thinking bout in the van is your god damn face

i can’t hold back
you should know that
i shoulda never really hit you with that call back
i shoulda really thought about it before all that
now im alone in my room and it’s pitch black
pitch black
where my bitch at
i just got another on the way that shit is kick ass
i just made another dumb mistake and i cant list that
i’ll just kick it solo in my home let’s skip the chit chat

fuck this party
i ain’t leaving sorry
things aren’t looking great
and i
wish that i wasn’t 2,000 miles away
but let’s be honest
this is what you wanted
what can i say
lately i’ve been numbing all the pain when i step up on the stage

lyrics
--------
and you push and you pull and you follow
and you go to where i go
and you push and you pull and you follow
and you follow
and you push and you pull and you follow
you're engraved in the death of this bottle
and you push and you pull and you follow
you follow

creep through the night
when the chase does arrive
will you pretend that i'm
not alive not alive oh
and you push and you pull and you follow
you're engraved in the death of this bottle
and you push and you pull and you follow
you follow

baby
this is what my life's like lately
sit inside my room like maybe
hate me
suffocate me
whatchu do is
intoxicating

you're dancing on the moon like michael
dancing in my room like my girl
distancing the view from my world
and it goes and it goes and it goes
you push and you push and you pull
and it goes and it goes and it goes
you push and you pull and you pummel
your feelings inside til you're hollow
let it swim through your veins til it swallows
til it swallows

push, pull, follow (prod. sheepy)

lyrics
--------
say you hate me
baby i know
that's why i lay in the stu with my eyes closed
vacant
hollow
say you're never coming back
shit i hope

eyehope (prod. klimlords)

lyrics
--------
eyes on the moon in vain
cause i rather be in space
stuck thinking bout your face
i put my life on hold

rise when the morning breaks
one sentence is all it takes
for you to make me insane
i put my life on hold
subject to sudden change
this distance is feeling strange
the words that you couldn't say
somebody probably told
but you redacted
overreacted
now i'm subtracting
you from the mold
i was not acting
out a distraction
you came and i put my life on hold

hold (prod. strive)

lyrics
---------
in hindsight we're okay
we'll creep through the hallway
my heartrate grows faster
a breeding disaster
the path left is followed
a tough pill to swallow
who am i becoming
i guess it's just nothing

i-i-i-i-i don't wanna talk about it
why-why-why-why-why am i so caught up on it
lie-lie-lie-lie i'm stuck in the middle
so i cry-cry-cry-cry constantly belittled oh and
i-i-i-i-i don't wanna talk about it
why-why-why-why-why am i so caught up on it
lie-lie-lie-lie i'm stuck in the middle
so i cry-cry-cry-cry constantly belittled oh  

you said the things you meant to say
you took it back don't mean it babe
dont look at me in my twisted face
you took the knife and twisted babe
hi been a minute since I said goodbye
i heard you're still livin in a lie
i swear it really take a lot to make me cry
so when you did i know you really had to try
what was all the effort for
couple good words ill be right back at your door
10 shots burning to the bottom of my core
i blackout, wake up rotting on the floor
i keep running and running around in circles
i keep smoking these cigarettes til i'm purple
i keep telling you things that you think are hurtful
i keep telling her that everything is her fault
remember what you said
i know its been a minute since i let you in my head
the whole worlds spinning here we go again
the nightmares never gonna end

when you look in the mirror
and hate what you've done
so you call up your friends
but they don't wanna come
and the dumbest mistake
that you made was falling in love
and it feels like there's monsters
inside of your head
so you fill it with poison
and smoke to forget
but they laugh even louder
despite the attempts that you've met

i-i-i-i-i don't wanna talk about it
why-why-why-why-why am i so caught up on it
lie-lie-lie-lie i'm stuck in the middle
so i cry-cry-cry-cry constantly belittled oh and
i-i-i-i-i don't wanna talk about it
why-why-why-why-why am i so caught up on it
lie-lie-lie-lie i'm stuck in the middle
so i cry-cry-cry-cry constantly belittled oh  

when the truth is a riddle
and soaked full of sin
will the creature inside you
aspire to win
will it creep all around you
and grasp at the clothes on your skin
then the rain starts to fall
and it's calling your name
though you hear it so clearly
you're deemed as insane
and your method of madness
will bleed as it freezes the frame

lyrics
--------
it festers farther
this bet just got darker
my sense of direction
is mangled and slaughtered
i burst into pieces
and tears as i mourn her
i'm sure as hell still breathing
you're dead in the corner
guess death was in order
head back to your quarters
lie still in my bed
stare at all i horde
her eyes blink never water
but i cannot fault her
i'm such a fucking shit head
she's somebody's daughter

dead in the corner (prod. neverforever)

lyrics
--------
and the likelihood that i come out of this alive
is a problematic fallacy of suicide
everybody wanna talk real big when it comes to the digits
but life's a game and the numbers lie
and if truth is to be told
i don't wanna know
spoon feed me lies
and leave me all alone
tell me i'm a joke
cut me to the bone
you can paint a pretty picture
with my blood on the stone
i've been contemplating this for a minute
i'm losing sleep thinkin' y'all gonna get me
i'm just a man overboard and this ship is too heavy
they wanna talk wasn't ready
i celebrate with a bomb of confetti
my guts explode on the levee
i live in fear of my peers
they say they love me all the time
but that's not how it appears
i sit in bed pondering how i bring strangers to tears
when i can't give myself some credit over several years

somebody come and get me
i'm drowning in this water
i'm screaming crying all the time
but she don't even bother
i live alone inside this home
with dreams of living farther
my trauma deeply rooted
can't even text my father
and that's the real reason why
i project my feelings into songs that i write
copacetic dreams but my tears turned to ice
so i pop em out the tray and get this bottle pouring right

and that's the real real real reason why
i've been up all night
hold onto the past even though it's out of sight
and i've been going through this shit for a minute
and i've been floating through so many fucking visions i'm spinning
i gotta get up off my ass and get to inking these villains
but i just hide
and i don't wanna try
cause every time i think i do
i dig too far inside my mind
i dug a lil too far now the grass don't grow
water on the roots but the pedals all mold
and seasons do change but the stems still broke
so i glue em back together even if it's just a cope

lyrics
--------
i am the highest in the room right now
speakers on the walls
bass knockin em all down
and maybe i could swallow all the lies and deceit
i got the receipts so fuck you leave a message at the beep

maybe i could swallow all my pride and leave you lone
if maybe you could call it quits and stop calling my phone
cause lately it's been hard to place the feelings in my soul
when the words you speaking to me sit like static in my bones
was a fool for you darling it's apparent yeah i know
if this bridge is to collapse then this road should've had a toll
i still pay the price for buying all the bullshit that you sold
so here's the part where i'll be bold
and she go runnin right back to these places
off of 95 and she gon drink until she's wasted
i don't even wanna fucking try to keep complacent
tell me i'm complaining all because you'll never face it 

i am the highest in the room right now
speakers on the walls
bass knockin em all down
and maybe i could swallow all the lies and deceit
i got the receipts so fuck you leave a message at the beep
