LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Yesterday I found my Asics from eleventh grade/
Dirty and decayed, I'd say they've seen their better days/
I crept my feet inside to not inflame my ankle sprain/
They seemed to fit okay but they just didn't feel the same/
And it’s a shame, I remember the day they came into my presence/
Never restin’, always hittin' the ground of my town to start trekkin’/
Seven days a week I’d tread the street so free, felt like a legend/
Steppin' to the present where the wonder continued to lessen/
My toys I used to cherish are now relics of the past/
I start to wonder why I used to relish in this crap/
So I put them in a bag to trash, but I am too attached/
I wander to my attic, stuffin' them into a stash/
Late nights at the movies no longer have any beauty/
Once a haven, my bedroom has grown to be borin’ and gloomy/
My house that used to seem so roomy now feels kinda puny/
Why has my home of 20 years become so foreign to me?/

Hook:
I’m changin’/
Yeah I feel that I’m changin’/
Tradin’ the boonies for a new me, it’s cliche what I’m pursuing/
But a life that's plain is what I am eschewing/
Man I guess that I’m changin’/
Damn I think like I’m changin’/
But I know what I am doing there is no way that I’m losing this passion that I got inside brewing/
I’m -/

Verse 2:
Cruisin’ in the back of an uber perusin' tweets/
My screen is like a window to the life I used to lead/
And my window’s like a screen where the view is a lucid dream/
Hypnotized by the lights that ooze and bleed on Druid street/
It’s new to me, I used to be able to sleep to crickets chirpin’/
Now I drift away to hobos blurtin’ sermons from my cutrains/
And I’m pretty certain my apartment smells a bit like urine/
It was disconcertin’ but I'm gettin’ used to livin’ urban/ 
I’m traversin' in and out of bafflin' amounts of scaffoldin’/
To get a seat inside of the T, I’m Mortal Kombat Battlin’/
These people clumped together when I want them to be scatterin’/
And bouncin' off of me like liquid atoms when I’m travelin’/
Imaginin’ that honkin' horns emit the sounds of instruments/
In marchin’ bands to celebrate my entrance/
Cause fuck my insignificance, I’ll quit trippin' in pigeonshit/
I didn’t move to the city to abandon what my mission is/

Lyrics:

Hook:
It's all i've ever known,
But it's feeling less like home
Everything i have to show
Is it easier to throw away?
Why do i feel alone?
In this crowded space i'm always in
I dont know what to do
No i don't know what to do at all

Verse 1:
The walls I live and breathe in between I’m the inmate and the warden of/
It's lit to be dim and bleak like the place is all boarded up/
‘Cause the drapes to my windows are like the pall to a coffin/
As I await to disintegrate in this hall that I’m locked in/
And so much time has allotted for me, it’s hard to believe/
When I got to this occupancy, I thought I'd not wanna leave/ 
But now I’m scratchin’ and clawin’ when I’m passin' every single wall/ 
And lashin’ at anyone at all who’s just askin’ me to be calm/
In my place of residence, used to say it was heaven sent/
Goin’ out of my way to decorate and then I’d freshen it/ 
To make it remain elegant, but now I’m like “hell with it”/
As I stay negligent and watch it decay to a skeleton/
Of what it was in the past, I hardly can stomach that/
I'm reluctant to pack my bags, when it’s been nothin’ but drab/
And if time I could run it back, I would’ve done it in a snap/
But I can't recover half of a decade stuck in this pad/

Hook 2:
It's all i've ever known,
But it's feeling less like home
Everything i have to show
Is it easier to throw away?
Why do i feel alone?
In this crowded space i'm always in
I don't know where to go
No i don't know where to go at all

Verse 2:
If I make a break & escape this place, I dunno where I'd go/
So I lay awake and I ruminate all the faces I know/
That are pacin’ the globe while I'm stayin' complacent at home/
‘Cause I rather stay in repose than be astray and alone/
So when my neighbors don’t want me to be involved in their gatherings/ 
And my thin walls are rattlin’ from the shit song they’re blastin’/
I start contactin’ some locals, hopeful they want to kick back/
And I get a no though, they’re all at the social next door where it’s happenin’/
I used to always think this was the place I was meant to be/
And I made myself believe it was and wasted so much energy/
Yeah, but I’m still holdin’ out hope/
That what I invested will be manifested, but I feel and know that it won’t/
So, how will I cope, with what my dream has amounted to/
And no one’s here to listen, so the walls are what I shout into/
Always lookin’ in my mirror when I’m in my powder room/
Thinkin’ of a day that I can get out of this house of blues/

Hook 3:
It's all i've ever known,
but it never feels like home
Everything i have to show
Is it easier to throw away?
Why do i feel alone?
In this crowded space i cannot leave
This empty house of blues
Does it feel the same for you? oh..

Lyrics:

Hook:
Never wanna be confined, be confined, be confined 
Wanna color out the lines, out the lines, out the lines/  
Now when I look out of my blinds, out my blinds, out my blinds
All I see is grey/
Eyes used to glisten with life, but I feel like that’s died/
Wishin’ for a better life, one where I’m not gettin’ dried/
Out of all ambition, what I’m missin’ is a little light/
Out of my window pane/

Verse:
Back when I was a kid I would sit and dream/
By my window seat listening to the winter breeze whistling/
With nothin’ but a pad and a pen to bleed/
All I’d need was a bit of ink to link with my mind and free/
Myself from my identity, shed my body and fly with ease/
Or become the mightiest king or a hero fighting enemies/
Whoever I’d pretend to be, it never felt pretend to me/
Whether I was an an entity zippin’ beyond infinity/
Or in a different century solvin’ a murder mystery/
I could escape my boredom that tended to be a trend for me/
But when I was scolded for livin’ in my mental imagery/
I let myself get molded into something that isn’t me/
‘Cause I was told it was time to rid of kiddish sensibilities/
And I let that shit get to me, ‘till I met all my friends, ya see/
They helped inspirit me and bring back what appeared to be/
That old energy back when I had nothin’ but a pad and a pen to bleed/
And pushed me not to dream to live, but rather to live to dream/

Hook:
Never will I be confined, be confined, be confined 
Coloring out of the lines, out the lines, out the lines
Now when I look out of my blinds, out my blinds, out my blinds
Great array of shades/
Eyes are glistenin’ with life, knowin’ who is  by my side/
Couldn’t have a better life, everything is feelin’ right/
Ambition and a mission, always see me up and beamin’ bright/
Out of my window pane/

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
All I wanna know is if you’re proud of me now/
After you crossed every single one of boundaries, while/
I let you overpower me and devour me down/
I’m cowering almost hourly, but outwardly I smile/
How could I’ve allowed you to sway me to think I’m inadequate/
Yet you’re stayin’ adamant claimin ’ you’re my greatest advocate/
Sayin’ that I’m too passionate to ever create some average shit/
And that’s why your expectations for me are so extravagant/ 
Now and I’ll drown if I try to hit this high-water mark/
Like a starvin’ shark, you circle me ‘till I fall apart/
Tellin’ me I got a lot of spark, to butter me up with your false remarks/
But when I stumble you spit on my art and you rip it apart like ya don’t got a heart/
Yeah, it’s a coin flip and you play me like a joy stick/
But it’s pointless to avoid it, when you’re poisoned to enjoy it/
So even though I begrudge it, I’m puttin’ my head to the musket/
‘Cause fuck it I know that you’ll love it, to you I’m nothin’ but a puppet/

Verse 2:
So I’m dressin’ to the nines to feel closer to a ten/
And when I’m fleshin’ out my lines, I focus on my skeletons/ 
Affection I’m beggin’ for all the time, but no one’s checkin’ in/
And so I’m stressin’ in my mind, relyin’ on my medicine/
To help me cope with the fallout ‘cause I’m all out of steam/
I should’ve crawled out my bed, not just fall back asleep/
Right when I thought I was free, you sought me ought in my dreams/
Where no one could hear me when I called out to scream/
See, I’d subdue you with therapy and flush you out with meds/
But when the times you took care of me came rushin’ back to my head/
I’d dread to share my grief with someone else conductin’ in your stead/
‘Cause there’s no guarantee I’d be better without your punishments/
When I fuck up, you spurt your curses and tell me that I deserve it/
But when you’re pushin’ me to be perfect, blemishes bubble up onto the surface/
And I need to be more assertive, ‘cause you’re gnawin’ at my health/
But is it even really worth it, when I’m just talkin’ to myself/

Lyrics:

Intro:
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside

Verse 1 (Rekap):
They said to shoot for the stars but frown when I’m not down to Earth
Try to drag me like gravity, but I could never   be bound to dirt
‘Cause I took off when I found the words, tyin’ together some nouns and verbs
That I could turn to clout and earn respect amongst the crowd and burn
These rappers that I body who got bars basic like alkaline
‘Cause It’s asinine to challenge a mastermind in his prime
I run against the clock, just so I can pass the time
If money talks, then I’ll be flirtin' with a dime
I can never leave the game, I’ve become too devoted
Get a mattress if you're gonna sleep on me like melatonin
So until my bread is growin’ from this shit I set in motion
Imma run these tracks until my legs are broken
I used to change-up my Persona like SMT, avoidin’ who I was set to be
Not wanting anyone to think less of me
‘Till I took control of my destiny and ever since I been pedaling
For better things and I know that’s what’s ahead of me, now

Hook (Eli Noir):
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside
My shine, you won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
So don’t waste my time

Verse 2 (Atwood):
Okay I stumble on the scene looking like a whole snack (table)
You don't gotta be shy it's okay to just ask (take one)
Wondering if my mind is making shit up
Wondering why my life's never enough
When my eyes'll adjust
6 months and it still ain't hit me
I don't ever wear my goals 
Still wondering if they fit me
I bought new clothes
Got family out the ceiling
Tryna make some shit that smack like Vasily for billies
So when me and G hit the scene it's a call to action, lights camera
We accustomed to lights flashing
Southern as my accent
Finna be typecasted
I mean that's just how it is when you eye catching
Lights flash
Might crash in another whip
Bystanders distracted, I'm having another sip
Might hit a little bit of this a little bit of that right
A little bit of silver lining must be that nice

Hook (Eli Noir):
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside
My shine, you won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
So don’t waste my time

Verse 3 (Thiago):
When I let my soul glow
I’m just tryna make a wave, they say I showboat
I had some people turn on me that shit was so cold
But they be living in a bubble, that's a snow globe
Now if you don't know
Well I was feeling weathered down
I got my things together now
with this music I let it out
They talking shit well what about it
seems like I’m doing good without em
Going right through, no way around it
Inside the dark where I was found
How many times? Ain't even counting
They say shoot for the stars so i'm pulling up on Jimmy Fallon
Lights, camera, action, better gimme that shit
Wanna shift the axis, they say pick a pattern nah bitch
I want my cake and eat it too with some milk no tit for tatting
It's a sunny day, why you stay inside?
You feeling stuck in place, why you wasting time
Ill advised, dumb thoughts, who you tryna vilify
You a young god, they should a build a shrine
Feel the shine, silver line

Hook (Eli Noir):
Silver lines 
Don’t always shine bright
Give it time
I’ll rest when I die
Wanna find 
My way to limelight
Step aside
My shine, you won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
You won’t take my shine
So don’t waste my time

Outro:
Silver lining, my silver lining (x2)

(Verse 1):
I used to live in the future, but now I’m stuck in the past/
My memories are like movies and I keep on runnin’ ‘em back/ Repeatin’ scenes I’ve seen so many times, still stunned and aghast/ At how my life could be different if I weren’t such an ass/ So many verses I spat just so I could adjust my label/ Craved attention so badly, that I could devour a plateful/ But I tried so hard to be seen, I forgot to set the right angle/ Then the camera rolled and I was told I acted disgraceful/ Damn, and I had homies who’d show me so much love/ But at the time it just never felt like it was enough/
Chasin’ validation from people who didn’t give a fuck/
About me, leavin the ones who really did behind in the dust/  ‘Cuz they’d always listen when I was bitchin’ about feelin’ voiceless/ But I’d ditch ‘em for toxic folks I knew I should be avoidin’/ Yet, I was so thirsty I was happy drinkin’ poison/ And all my friends warnin’ me were drowned in a sea of voices

(Hook):
Man I was so blind/
And I know I can’t just heal the scars I’ve tried/
I want to take it back and make it right/
All that I’ve avoided to be fine/
Sorry that I left you all behind/ 

(Verse 2):
I’m wakin’ up from dreams that feel realer than life/
In ‘em I fight with my demons, hear ‘em scream in the dead of night/
Now it’s got me facin’ all the darkest vignettes of my life/
So I gaze at a screen just to get a glimmer of light/
Hittin’ me right where it hurts and fuck, it might be absurd/
But I’m saying sorry to people I haven’t spoken a word/
To in years now, so I can make it clear how/
Much I’ve really changed and I can’t be more sincere ‘bout/
Wantin’ to make up for the errors of the ways/ Every year it gets more difficult to bear all this weight/ But I don’t even know if I believe all that I say/ When I’m repeatin’ the same mistakes I’d make back in the day/ Kickin’ myself until I re-open up my old scars/ I’d go far, but in my wake I’d leave behind some broke hearts/ Yeah, and now that everything I’d worry bout’s irrelevant/ All that I think about is how I wish I could’ve been a better friend/

Verse 1 (Rekap): 
Lyin’ in my bed at leisure, don’t wake ‘till eleven, ever/ 
Seven more rejection letters in my inbox, but no pressure/ 
Check the weather for gigafires and I really should get an air purifier/  Too much take-out, so I guzzle benefiber, just smoked earlier, but now I’m getting higher/ 
I got nothin’ to do and I can’t stand it, news gettin’ worse by the damn second/ 
Can’t see my friends or my fam, gettin’/ 
So lonely when scrolling on Tinder that honestly anyone at this point can get it/
Yeah, and I can’t really cook, so I‘m livin’ off of shit like canned spinach, but I’m managin’, I guess/
And right when this shit couldn’t go more awry/
I open my blinds and I see an orange sky/
Twitter is sayin’ that we’re gonna die/ 
The end is nigh, we should all run and hide/ 
But I’m stuck inside, I don’t know where to go/ 
So I lay in my bed and I stare at my phone/
Meltin’ my brain watchin’ terrible shows/ 
Waitin’ until the whole planet explodes/

Hook 1 (marc indigo):
I don’t know what’s going on and really no one does/ 
All these issues all at once, really I’ve had enough/
I just hate the way my life’s just changed and fell apart/
 I’m just waitin’, I’m frustrated, can we just restart?
I’m terrified but I’m chillin/
I’m staring up at the ceiling/
This world is falling to ruins/
At least I’m safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/
Safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/
Each day I open my eyes/
I’m seeing smoke in the skies/
Everyone’s hopeless online/
At least I’m safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/
Safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/

 Verse 2 (Mr. Master): 
'08, I ate up my hours alone/ 
Only kept up with time. Stay inside feel like home/
Gopher my head out the ground and it’s discounts on 
underground bunkers I already own/
Rapid lose muscle when farthest approach to a 
cardio stroll is a scroll on a phone/
Classes asynchronous. Pass, no attendance/
I stan education but no. No I’m not busy busy/ 
But the pen game sharper, image crispy/ 
While the kids stay arguin’ with Disney, this hummingbird
heart beat through the windy/
Really been up still. All everyone love kill buzzkill/ 
Spirit ain’t shine, then the sun will/
Not gonna lie though, a hug would be clutch, any touch let the Bowflex a boat less uphill/
Won’t let a dot set up shop keeper windows/ 
Melee X’d out. Miracle mile on dash. Ace quiz shows ‘Nache don’t crash mid woe/ 
Permanent daylight, search for the save life. Case close/
I run out o’ space to run out. I runneth over/ 
I’m driven. I hit a red light and let it go/  

Hook 2 (marc indigo):
I don’t know what’s going on and really no one does/ 
All these issues all at once, really I’ve had enough/
Everyday feels like the same, can we have something new/
I’m just hopin’ in the end that we can make it through/
I’m terrified but I’m chillin/
I’m staring up at the ceiling/
This world is falling to ruins/
At least I’m safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/
Safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/
Each day I open my eyes/
I’m seeing smoke in the skies/
Everyone’s hopeless online/
At least I’m safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/
Safe inside my bedroom, bedroom/
