lyrics

Should I wither and die, the happy lie?
Can I get by on hearts and likes?
I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise?
Another try, or the happy lie?
Should I get high, replace spiritual tie?
I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise?

I'm gonna resurrect myself, find my better self
No use for the world's wealth without better health
Healing harmed
Full habits formed to protect myself
It's easy to slip, drowning in life's currency counterfeit, contradict
Wading in waves on a sinking ship
Reality distort, false looks correct
I'm re-writin' my story descript
I'm claiming authorship gettin' on top of these mountains, my problems, not yet accepted it
Let go of the low death, improperness
Turbo graphics, Genesis
Amygdala playing old school games
Jerk response on repeat like (Broken Record)
Defeat repeat like (Broken Record) insane
Since way when, it's been the same
Need to update the code cause times have changed
I've learned how to survive since my turn as an innocent child
Can I get a grip? Can I come back from this (Skid) turn back the damage I did
Can you forgive? (Can we forgive, can I forgive)
Can we forgive? (Can we forgive)

Should I wither and die, the happy lie?
Can I get by on hearts and likes?
I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise?
Another try, or the happy lie?
Should I get high, replace spiritual tie?
I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise?

I'm trapped again in the twists and bends of my mind
Staring at a summit too high to climb
Suffering corrupt thought pattern design and it's (Daunting)
Very very (Daunting)
I don't need your shit, I got my own tings
People are wanting, they bring whole dump trucks
I don't need my thoughts muddied up
I'll tell you, they muddy enough
I'm drowning slipping from the life raft trynna multi-task, speed into the crash
I can't get it off so long wearing this mask my emotional trash got me embracing for last
I look in the mirror, call myself to task, I ask
Can I get a grip? can I come back from this (Skid) turn back the damage I did
Can you forgive?

Die, the happy lie?
Can I get by on hearts and likes?
I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise?
Another try, or the happy lie?
Should I get high, replace spiritual tie?
I look in the mirror I don't recognize, or will I resurrect myself and rise?
