Lyrics:

(verse one)

This is me i admit ive changed / what would you have me do? stay the same? / play the game, i barely ever did / rarely ever hid, the truth dealt with it in the reflection that i'm staring in / i'm getting too slim, patience wearing thin / and i've been trying to make it home / although words fall short I try to write it in a poem / tired and alone, wired to the phone / why i'm so inspired it's fire in my bones / defiant i am grown never thought that i would be here / the other side of thirty sleeping earlier with each year / but my spirit needs its rest / they say that it's in jest but it hurts me none the less / and i confess that it's myself that i'm protecting / and even though i show myself the world it keeps projecting

(chorus one)

dont believe the lies, look me in my eyes / please dont be scared of me / please dont be scared of me / I remember you / feeling isnt new / please dont be scared of me / please dont be scared of me

(verse two)

Didn't cry when grand father died, i did when my grand mother passed / and if happiness holds value then i will feel the sun for every single time that she laughed / and i'll be basking in it's rays
like the last day i was at maracus bay / and i'm sad to say my family stays a part / may not see each other often still your often in my thoughts / always in my heart, togetherness is priceless / we try to stay busy and we worship our devices / theyre our vices cause were so lonely / we're so disconnected from the one only /i want to find the man i used to be / sometimes i think the whisperers pursuing me / because hate isnothing new to me / although i try to satisfy my community / but i'm tired of being slept on / i'm so tired of being stepped on / and Im not putting on a show / they say i'm brave for being honest but honesty all I know / and it's hard to be in public while i'm tearing out my soul / baring it I love itnever really set a goal / a contradiction and a blessing / the closest thing i have to confessing

(chorus two)

dont believe the lies, look me in my eyes / please dont be scared of me / please dont be scared of me / I remember you / feeling isnt new / please dont be scared of me / please dont be scared of me

(verse three)

i never knew it would be like this, i find myself fighting with my vices / and i remember when i used to pray / do you remember when i used to say / i love u, i miss you / it's hard to believe the things we've been through / and now it seems like it's another life / always stepping into another fight / and my ex ain't even calling me / and her missing in my life it kind of bothers me / i hope this isn't one of those forever things / it's funny how time can change everything

(chorus three)

dont believe the lies, look me in my eyes / please dont be scared of me / please dont be scared of me / I remember you / feeling isnt new / please dont be scared of me / please dont be scared of me

[WHOLETTHECATSOUTMEOW]

This track tears me up, better than all those talentless rappers out there for sure.

[BiggumsASR]

... and I confess, it's myself that I'm protecting ......
