Lyrics
[Intro – tape hiss, footsteps echo]
Been walkin’ through life
Like I got cement shoes on.
Every step’s a memory
And every one hurts more.
⸻
[Verse 1]
I wake up tired, go to bed mad
Carry ghosts like hand-me-downs from dad
Talk to God but the line feel dead
Mama said “pray”—but I scream instead
Mirror got cracks I didn’t break
Smile fake like the meds I take
Text from friends — don’t even check
’Cause when I bleed, they just deflect
⸻
[Hook – soft vocal overlay]
Cement shoes, on a tightrope life
Rain fallin’ but the sun ain’t right
They say “man up,” but I’m mid-fight
You can’t heal when you hide that knife
I walk slow — world move fast
Try to catch up, but I just crash
Voices loud, but they don’t ask
So I write pain on a faded mask
⸻
[Verse 2]
Used to dream big, now I just sleep
Don’t even run, just sink in deep
Was the funny one — now I’m the freak
Smile in pics but inside, I leak
Mom ain’t proud, pops long gone
Love feel fake, hate feel strong
Hoped one day I’d right these wrongs
Now I just write… and try to hold on
⸻
[Bridge – spoken delivery]
They say it gets better
But they never lived this weather
No map, just pressure
No wins — just lesser
And I ain’t ask for the light
But I’m still tryna fight
If I fall tonight
Let ‘em know:
I walked through hell just to write
⸻
[Final Hook – vocal layer + strings added]
Cement shoes, through a world on fire
They ask “you good?”—I’m just tired
Tired of lies, tired of the climb
Tired of pretending I’m fine
So if this song’s all I leave
Then know it came from grief
I ain’t a hero — I’m just me
Tryna breathe
In cement shoes
At sea.
