The Island

I used to be scared to just be myself
Right until I fucking caved and just changed myself
Twitching on the floor, I don't need no help
I need to dump my thoughts on someone else
Smoke up a zip all to myself
All this marijuana just kills my health
I cough more than I can speak
If block that thought, I don't feel so weak (So weak)
If I block that thought, I don't feel so weak
Time moves fast and life looks bleak
Before I pass I wanna live my dream
Nights grow longer, I lose sleep
Mind grows stronger, limbs grow weak
Just put me out of my misery
I couldn't fuck with the vices soon
All of the shit has subsided blue
Waters are filling my eyelids
I think I'm reaching the island
Come out the water and feel renewed
All of your troubles have left from you
Go do whatever you wanted to
When life doesn't matter, it's possible (It's possible)
Wanted to
Thanks for everything, love you
Oh god
How long have you been standing there
Lights grow dim, and
I can't get air
I can't win and it's not fair
And I can't move so get the fuck out of here
I couldn't win if I wanted
Continue it when I say stop it
Nothing else could ever hurt me
When I'm busy already hurting
Guess all my work was a waste, shit
I'm getting sick of the way I say
My words cause I'm always eating them
And I'm getting sick of the taste
Cold out
But no snow out
It's August
But I wear a coat out
On the walk back
From your house
Phone's dead so I listen to the street sounds
I used to be scared to just be myself
Right until I fucking caved and just changed myself
Twitching on the floor, I don't need no help
I need to dump my thoughts on someone else
Smoke up a zip all to myself
All this marijuana just kills my health
I cough more than I can speak
If block that thought, I don't feel so weak
