Soul Too High

[Verse 1]
Burned out on all this shit
Same screen, same scroll, same pit
Mind run laps, heart don’t quit
Still feel stuck in the ditch
Ashtray full, but I don’t smoke
Just burnt bridges, bitter jokes
Sleep don’t help when you stay woke
Prayers bounce back, heaven on hold
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been pacing through my head again
All these faces feel like mannequins
If there’s a stairway out this mess I’m in
Show me where it is, where it is
[Chorus]
Soul too high for this planet I’m on
Wanna level up, level up, then I’m gone (gone)
Get so high that my soul is high
Way up where the pain can’t climb
Soul too high for this planet I’m on
If I disappear, just know I moved on
Get so high that my soul is high
Way up, way up, out of my mind (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Timeline look like end of days
Laugh tracks on the news they play
Every friend got rent to chase
Dreams on layaway, locked away
I don’t wanna fake this grit
Throw a filter on the emptiness
If there’s more than this apocalypse
I need a portal, not a therapist
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been running from the mirror’s glare
Every question leads to thinner air
If there’s a ladder that can take me there
Point it to the sky, I swear
[Chorus]
Soul too high for this planet I’m on
Wanna level up, level up, then I’m gone (then I’m gone)
Get so high that my soul is high
Way up where the fear can’t bite
Soul too high for this planet I’m on
If I vanish, I just went back home
Get so high that my soul is high
Way up, way up, over the night (over the night)
[Bridge]
If I lift off, don’t pull me down (don’t pull me)
If I drift off, don’t search the ground
I’m not lost, I’m finally found
Past the clouds, past the sound
[Chorus]
Soul too high for this planet I’m on
Wanna level up, level up, then I’m gone
Get so high that my soul is high
Way up where the pain can’t climb
Soul too high for this planet I’m on
If I disappear, just know I moved on
Get so high that my soul is high
Way up, way up, out of my mind (yeah)

rap, Dark trap-house fusion with deep house drums, heavy sub bass, and hazy synth pads. Male vocals half-rapped, half-melodic; hook drenched in reverb, verses tighter and drier. Beat starts sparse, then swells with sidechained chords and distant vocal chops in the chorus, ending on a filtered, floating outro., soul, deep house
