Existential Crisis
04:25

(1st Verse)
I open my eyes to a brand new day
And I feel my motivation start to slip away
I just don't know what to do with myself
When everything I touch just goes to hell
I can't find the words to begin to describe
How I feel everything too much inside
When I try my best but it's never enough
I'm running on empty and running out of luck
(Chorus)I
Existential crisis
It's slowly killing me
You know you can't deny
The war inside your brain
Existential crisis
Will be the death of me
You know you can't deny
That you’re not who you wanted to be
(2nd verse)
I'm plagued by thoughts of inadequacy
And Feelings of failure almost constantly
There's nothing to say that could change my mind
So just save your breath don't wast your time
When I look in the mirror I hate who I see
Just a watered down version of the real me
Compromised everything that I loved about myself
Now there’s nothing left for anyone else
(Chorus)
Existential crisis
It's slowly killing me
You know you can't deny
The war inside your brain
Existential crisis
Will be the death of me
You know you can't deny
That you’re not who you wanted to be
(Bridge)
Imprisoned by my own madness
Can someone tell me why I exist
I don’t wanna live my life like this
Can someone tell me why I exist
I’ve no one else to blame in the end
Can someone tell me why I exist
It’s an uphill battle I just can’t win
Can someone tell me why I exist
(Outro)
In search of purpose I’m looking for meaning
But I won’t lay here broken and defeated
And I can’t pour from an empty cup
I’ve got to find the strength to pick myself up

The Good Life
04:44
|
|||
It was a small town
Where I grew up
But then it blew up
Swallowed by the city
It was a culture clash
And it kicked my ass
I strive for peace
But I've got violence in me
So I drifted down to the Southside
Where I got tangled up in everything
But now I'm all grown up
And trying to stay alive
So stay far from me with your weapons and your gangs
Cause it's a good life
That we can build here
A good life that we can create
I'm trying to wise up
I'm trying to see clear
Maybe someday soon I'll get my head on straight
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve been back
to that hell
That tried to stifle me
Blood stained memories
How they haunt my dreams
I begged for peace
When they forced violence on me
One day I left there i never looked back
Kept my head up and tried to chase my dreams
Now I know who I am now I am my own man and no one can take that from me
Cause it's a good life
That we can build here
A good life that we can create
I'm trying to wise up
I'm trying to see clear
Maybe someday soon I'll get my head on straight
