[Intro – ad-libs] Yeah Uh Woah Mmm [Chorus – melodic emo rap] I’m stuck in the shades of me Black thoughts and white dreams Tryna live how I wanna be But the past keeps pullin’ me I’m high just to feel free Got these scars I don’t wanna see Told myself I’m done with grief But I’m caught up in shades of me (yeah, woah) [Verse 1 – sung/rap mix] Look, I don’t wanna talk to no one Keep my head stuck in the sun Light too bright when I’m numb Nightfall only when I’m done All these faces in my mind Hard to trust when they rewind Every promise that I find Turns to trouble every time Yeah, I been runnin’ from the dark Tryna dodge what left a mark Got these thoughts that never depart And they scream right through my heart [Pre-Chorus – lift, melodic] I don’t wanna lose it all (yeah) But I’m teeterin’ on the edge (edge) If I fall I might just fly Or I might just break instead (woah) [Chorus – repeat] I’m stuck in the shades of me Black thoughts and white dreams Tryna live how I wanna be But the past keeps pullin’ me I’m high just to feel free Got these scars I don’t wanna see Told myself I’m done with grief But I’m caught up in shades of me (yeah, yeah, woah) [Verse 2 – rap-leaning, rhythmic] Talk too much, lose my peace Numb my pain with capisce Never sleep, can’t find ease Feel like I’m fallin’ piece by piece Heart tattooed with heavy weight Told myself I wouldn’t break But I feel every mistake Like a ghost I couldn’t shake Crash the vibe, watch me float Tell my demons I don’t choke If I’m broke I’ll still boast ‘Cause the pain might be my coach [Bridge – softer, melodic] If I fade, don’t let me go If I break, let somebody know I been fightin’, layin’ low Tryna find what’s in my soul (woah, mm) [Final Chorus – full emotion] I’m stuck in the shades of me Black thoughts and white dreams Tryna live how I wanna be But the past keeps pullin’ me I’m high just to feel free Got these scars I don’t wanna see Told myself I’m done with grief But I’m caught up in shades of me (yeah, woah, mm)
