lyrics

Distant:

Verse 1:
I never thought I'd be the kinda guy to do this
But truth is, I'm in over my head with this music.
It's tragic how i got all of my eggs in one basket
But tell me to rearrange them your askin to get your ass kicked.

That's it. Wish I could go back like magic.
Friends are disappearing like a rabbit in the hat trick.
Feelin like I'm spongebob, without my homie Patrick.
I’m bat shit insane opposite of fantastic.

Unhappily lackin apathy.
As my raps gain fast vast mass rapidly.
Slackin on my sanity. Ignorin my family.
The ones who love me are casualties of tragedy.

That is how it has to be. I wish it was a fallacy.
Pushing folks away always seems to be my strategy.
All these people mad at me.
Tunnel vision avidly.
I hope gradually this eventually pays my salary.
I’ll stack that cheese.

Pre-Hook (x2):
Ayo I’m gettin frickin sick of tryna fit in.
You think that you’re the only other person with opinions.
I’m never quitin on a mission in this business.
This big risk, got me feelin ever so distant.

Era’s Hook (x2):
I finally found it in the space in between the notes
Feeling trapped on a roller that would never coast
Feeling lost on a path none have ever chose
Now the melody can turn and away it goes.

Verse 2:
And it’s gettin harder and harder,
I’m socially retarded, but my rhymes are gettin sharper.
Yeah my bars are gettin smarter than graduate from Harvard.
My vocabulary’s larger than a laboratory mouse herd

But everything always comes at a cost.
A wedding ring, a couple friends that I’ve gained then lost?
I feel the pain and man it drains, I feel so exhausted,
Can never look back cuz when I do I’m always nauseous.

And it’s not something want .
Rather one thing I need, it’s becoming taunt.
I just wanna be heard, want people to know of my art.
But it’s hard when you go and seclude yourself from the start.

I love being by myself, but I hate feeling alone.
That’s probably the only reason for these songs.
I power down my phone. Get into the zone,
And drift away until the day I’m sittin on a throne.

(Pre-Hook)

(Era’s Hook)
