Leave Me Behind (feat. Cam Steady)

And maybe I could say it's the last time

But maybe I could say that I'm scared

Another melody of somebody's story

I'll finally admit, I don't care

It's been years and I can feel the end is near

'Cause I'm burnt out and I'm mangled

Ready to wake up from this nightmare

Wake me up

Before I close the book, I always flip to the start

I'm just tryna get a look of why I'm sick of the art

It all began with a spark

But the power, fame, dollars and change took the charge

Made me less than its parts

I didn't want it this way

I used to long for this day

Yeah, sure, the money was great

But sucked me into this phase

And now the dream that I was chasing seems to chain me in place

'Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes

Will I rot away?

And if I say what's on my mind

Will they all leave me behind?

I thought I was safe

Thought that I'd see brighter days

Was I a shadow meant to fade all along?

Did I lose my way from pretending?

Another suit without a soul

So many years, I thought it was ending

But it opened up and swallowed me whole

No happy ending will rise and show themselves

So I gotta reach out and write an ending, an ending for myself

Before I close the book, I always skip to the end

See, will I ever fall in love with making music again?

Or did I give up all my passion and friends to run a factory line

That'll just replace when I finally left? Yeah

Wanna know the day I knew nobody pray for me?

The day somebody told me: This your legacy

This is what you'll say to be, unless you make a break

'Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes

It's been years

There ain't nothing for me here

I was broken and alone

But now I'm home

Will I rot away?

And If I say what's on my mind

Will they all leave me behind?

I thought I was safe

Thought that I'd see brighter days

Was I a shadow meant to fade all along?

Will I rot away?

If I stand up and say

Say what plagues my mind

Will they leave me

Will you leave me behind?
