[Intro]
(Whispered)
Yeah...
Look.
They pull me from every angle.
But I don't even know what I'm looking at anymore.
Look me in the eyes and tell me...
[Chorus]
What do you want from me?
Tell me the truth, I’m drowning in demands!
What do you want from me?
I’m holding the world up inside of my hands!
You push and you pull, and you tug at my sleeve
But you never tell me the things that you need
So I’m running in circles, I’m pacing the floor
I give you my all but you’re asking for more!
What do you want from me?!
[Verse 1]
Step in the room and I feel the weight
Everybody's staring, everybody's got a date
With my time, with my mind, with the energy I save
Tryna dig my own path, but you hand me a spade
(Yeah!)
Look at the mirror, I don't recognize the face
I’m a puppet on a string in a fast-paced race
I can read your mind, man, you want me to fail
Or you want me to be the one to pay your retail!
I’m tired of the hints, I’m tired of the games
Write my name in the dirt, you just love how it flames
You smile in my face but you plotting my moves
If I lose my grip, then I’m making the news!
I’m walking on eggshells, I’m breaking the floor
I open the window, you knock at the door!
How am I supposed to give you what you never state?
Look at my chest, man, it’s ready to break!
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
(Double time flow)
Pick up the phone, leave a message, I’m busy
The room is spinning, the thoughts getting dizzy
I'm running a marathon, running with scissors
I'm cutting the ties with the venomous quitters
Who tell me I’m selfish for wanting my own
I'm building a kingdom but living alone!
(Yeah!)
You want the artist? You want the machine?
You want the version that fits on the screen?
I can’t be the hero you painted me as
I’m made out of flesh, man, I’m made out of gas!
One spark and I’m gone, one word and I snap
I’m trying to navigate without using a map
So stop with the whispers, stop with the lies
Look at me dead, look me straight in the eyes!
Say it out loud, let the venom escape
Tell me the monster that you want me to shape!
[Bridge]
(Beat strips back to just a haunting piano)
I’m tearing the pages, I’m burning the script
I feel like my sanity’s starting to slip
You tell me you love me, you tell me I’m great
But then you turn around and you feed me the hate!
(Heavy drums roll back in)
I’m done with the guessing! I’m done with the clues!
I’ve got nothing left that I’m willing to lose!
Tell me now!
[Final Chorus]
[Outro]
(Beat fades out, leaving only the piano)
What do you want... from me?
I gave you everything.
But it was never enough.
(Heavy breath)
Never enough
