Existential Crisis 04:25
lyrics
buy track
(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
