you want a safer space but you won’t do the work you still don’t understand we’re not the fucking police this isn’t some stepping stone to a life of fame and fortune it’s called do it yourself not gonna do it for you we’re happy to lend a helping hand but we won’t be exploited you get a little clout but treat everyone like a jerk people like you we’ve seen em come and go this isn’t some stepping stone to a life of fame and fortune it’s called do it yourself not gonna do it for you we’re happy to lend a helping hand but we won’t be exploited in a competition there will always be a winner and a loser. through cooperation we can all survive together or we can die together there’s something inside all of us that wants to see the world grow, don’t let it burn. it’s getting hard to find the energy to keep on trying to be driven by empathy i’m so tired.

it shouldn’t be this scary in twenty nineteen to be alive i’ve been asleep for most of the time all my life i just woke up after the longest night now i see that i can’t live without pain but now it’s nothing i haven’t seen i’ve had the time to realize what it was that made me wanna stop being alive there is no doubt what i’m about it’s time to choose when you will stop
3.
i moved out when i was nineteen to the city away from my family didn’t know how to live on my own told my friends to never leave me alone drove around until i found a job that’s where it went all wrong and i learned how to get by alright with plenty of friends with lots of time feeling good shouldn’t be a crime these habits will be the death of me i moved out when i was nineteen to the city away from my family didn’t know how to live on my own told my friends to never to leave me alone drove around until i found a job that’s where it went all wrong and i learned how to get by alright with plenty of friends with lots of time doing harmless bad things these habits will be the death of me
4.
i put all my hopes and dreams into the same basket i ignored that tiny voice begging me to slow down little did i know i was building my own casket i tried to be best version of me i forgot there was an end to this empty tunnel and when i saw the light i thought my time had come but failure is a test such a harrowing reminder that life can be so challenging i thought if i only told the truth itd be enough to let you trust me i had to learn the hard way there’s so many ways to be let down but the thing about growth is that it’s different for everybody there’s an ebb and flow that’s entirely your own there’s nothing else to talk about i’m not looking for restitution i hope to hear you’re doing well and we both continue to grow and i won’t regret my mistakes i’m grateful for what i’ve learned i know i can’t change the past i’m just hoping for forgiveness please
5.
i want to find the timeline where i’m not afraid to wake up cuz everyday it’s hard to read about another atrocity won’t go away on its own so hold each other close all we have is to revel in this shared experience i hate that we’re forced to be treated like commodities and i don’t know what i want the end result to be give me sweet release this feeling can’t last forever something will break real soon and when it does i want to make it better build a future for me and you a better future for me and you i want to believe we can overcome the greed and take the time to show up for each other
6.
it’s not like i haven’t felt this way before but i believe i can pick myself up i don’t need you to comfort me i’ll find a way to make myself complete i had to know if this shit was even worth it it takes some time to get back on my feet i don’t need your help
7.
i’m starting to think there is no recipe to ever be truly happy i guess we’ll never know we spend our time making our lives look interesting there’s a lot going through my head it’s hard to stay focused it’s not like i can define what i need to feel alive i wish i had the time to sort out what’s filling up my mind i know it’s hard to be someone with strong convictions you can’t expect them to want to save themselves and when the time is right you’ll find the strength inside you will stand for those who cannot fight i know it’s hard to be someone with strong convictions you have to trust that it won’t always be this way
8.
i can’t recall a day i didn’t feel like i was behind i’m reminded it ain’t real it’s all fake your production shouldn’t dictate your self worth remember it’s not your problem if you don’t like what you’ve become but can’t find the strength to change just search for what’s meaningful and give it some time to grow if they try to take it from you if they try to kill your dream remain focused on your truth and remember who you’re living for i don’t need another minute of your time no thanks
9.
i thought i was strong enough to deal with whatever came my way i never thought this thing i love would be the thing to kill me i know i cant survive for long without some help blow the doors wide open and come on in there’s plenty enough to go around if our only goal is support

Hard Ghosted 01:25
here we are now 8 years into the future why do i feel i still gotta say don’t owe me anything we’ve got so much to be thankful for it means a lot that you stuck around don’t owe me anything i know it’s been hard to leave the guilt behind so please don’t owe me anything don’t owe me shit it’s kinda funny how it all turned out and yeah i was mad for awhile but then i forgot it doesn’t have to be friends or enemies we can live somewhere in between give it some time to find peace of mind dont wanna make it yours or mine but maybe something where our goals align
11.
you would think i don’t have any problems trying to sleep but i’ve been up so long so worried that this dream will end life’s been good still a little hard i’m trying to convince myself that i deserve all this love from my friends who i haven’t had the chance to thank for the time we shared crying in our backyard i know youve never heard this before but im so grateful for the love and support you’ve shown me these past few years that it’s taken to work through my bullshit
