[Intro] I’m distressed, Fuck it, I’m trying my best Walking on thin ice Parasite stealing my life [Pause] [Verse - Celeste] Intrusive, mind destructive Lagging, I’m counter productive SmackDown, like a dog in the ringer Lights out, static creepin’ deeper Anxiety masking my anomalies Speaking to me in frequencies Intercepting the soft spot on my head On the edge, I’m about to crash out Praying heavily, spiraling, I’m seeing red Battery on E, fading til I black out Condemned to this treachery Grace closed the door to me When corruption gave me peace Imprisoned ain’t no one saving me Stranded in an endless contrapasso Was a good girl, but got lassoed Drawn to the crutches of weakness Buried my soul, it was off limits Punished cause I knew their secrets Silenced, not tryna be a victim Enslaved, bottled up, got the cork against my neck Tried to open the curtain, but they hid the truth Breaking my limbs, a lab rat they tryna dissect A little psychotic, numb, got a few screws loose 9-1-1 disconnected, now whatcha gon’ do Epitome of the headlines they never read Succumbed to the pressure when they told me not to The serpent bit me, light gon dim, I don’t need me Forsaken this is my eternal damnation Padded cell, pent up aggression Devoured to this isolation Lost in the matrix of depression Damn…where’s my redemption? On my knees, I learnt my lesson Asking for help, or some direction Cracked the mirror, fuck this reflection [Verse - Unscene] you prayed for redemption. i can't sell you that, i'm just the hand you can't see at your back. long enough in the dark to read it in braille, hold on to my shoulder when the footing fails. i hand out advice like i'm rich with it, mine's in the jar, i don't dip in it. funny how advice is a vice with an ad, i'm selling you maps to roads i never had. tell you drink water while i run on fumes, preach eight hours' sleep to the light in my room. so keep going. i don't care if it's spite, wrong fuel still burns, and it burns just right. you tally the falls like they settle the score, i tally the get-ups. you're up one more. they'll say be stronger like you weren't all along, strong is the label they use to move on. some nights no words survive the way down, them nights i shut up and sit on the ground. two people breathing the same black air beats one every time. i counted. i swear. i failed every math class, this rule held tight: two negatives multiplied come out light. so the dark can keep its diplomatic pass, we don't press charges. we just outlast. [Hook] I’m distressed, Fuck it, I’m trying my best Walking on thin ice Parasite stealing my life (unscene) i know this dark, i pay rent here too, can't take my own advice, so i'ma take your side.
