lyrics:

[intro]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
I swear I thought I knew

[verse 1]
My eggs are in the basket
My chips spilled on the floor
I tried to bribe the dealer
But he won't give me no more
I stole some from the others
And booked it for the door
They took me down
And and spit me out
To where I was before
It was a stupid reason
To let it hold me back
I know it hurts your feelings
To hear me talk like that
Not here to make excuses
For what it is I lack
Just tired of feeling useless
Fuck, I'm so good at that

[chorus 1]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
Like I can barely move?
Try suffering in silence
The weight would bury you
Trust me I'm tryna like it
I swear I thought I knew

[verse 2]
I'm not one for power trips
But I know I'd trade it all for this
I was blind to have faith in roads I picked
Now I'm dying to see the end
And I tried to be the one you needed
I was trying to be something rare
Tell me how to make you feel like he did
God, it hurts to be so unaware
It was a miscalculation
An unfit generation
In a shit situation
With our lives all fueled by big corporations
To give means for creation
That demands innovation
Guess I had no chance from the start
Got stabbed through the heart
They ripped me apart
By spending my youth telling me I was smart
Dissuading my art
In favor of charts and graphs
And corporate plaques
No regard

[bridge]
I do not follow the path
Watch me say no to the cash
You give it and I'll give it back
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah
This shit is a lot to unpack
The odds will forever be stacked
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked
'Cause this shit is all that I have

I do not follow the path (and I tried to be the one you needed)
Watch me say no to the cash
You give it and I'll give it back (I was trying to be something rare)
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah
This shit is a lot to unpack (tell me how to make you feel like he did)
The odds will forever be stacked
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked (God, it hurts to be so unaware)
'Cause this shit is all that I have

I do not follow the path (and I tried to be the one you needed)
Watch me say no to the cash (spent my whole life deciding)
You give it and I'll give it back (I was trying to be something rare)
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah (on what I wanna do)
This shit is a lot to unpack (tell me how to make you feel like he did)
The odds will forever be stacked (so why am I feeling like this?)
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked (God, it hurts to be so unaware)
'Cause this shit is all that I have (like I can barely move)

I do not follow the path (and I tried to be the one you needed)
Watch me say no to the cash (try suffering in silence)
You give it and I'll give it back (I was trying to be something rare)
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah (the weight would bury you)
This shit is a lot to unpack (tell me how to make you feel like he did)
The odds will forever be stacked (trust me I'm trying to like it)
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked (God, it hurts to be so unaware)
'Cause this shit is all that I have (I swear I thought I knew)

[chorus 2]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
Like I can barely move?
Try suffering in silence
The weight would bury you
Trust me I'm tryna like it
I swear I thought I knew
