Late night feel like the air don’t move
Same damn ceiling when I can’t break through
Mind on loop and it won’t shut up
Tryna feel better but I don’t know what
It don’t hit fast, it creeps in slow
Like a quiet ass door you don’t see open though
One minute you good, then you not
Then you stuck in your head with the same damn thoughts
I seen it start with “I just need peace”
Then it turns into somethin’ that don’t leave
Not a party, not fun, not flex
Just a way to mute all the shit in your chest
And yeah it works… for like a second
Then it fades and you right back stressin’
So you double it up, try chase that calm
But it always comes back fucked up and wrong
⸻
And I’m not here preachin’, I’ve seen it close
Good people turn cold when the numb shit grows
Not evil, not weak, just tired as fuck
Tryna bury shit that’s been piling up
And time don’t pause when you fall apart
It just keeps movin’ like it don’t got heart
So you blink too long, you miss yourself
Start lookin’ like somebody else as well
⸻
It changes tone, it changes face
One day you fine, next day you spaced
Convos feel fake, like background noise
You hear words but they lose that voice
And comin’ back hits harder than gone
Cause everything real still movin’ on
Bills still there, life still don’t care
And you sittin’ there like “was I even there?”
⸻
It ain’t no story with a clean ass end
No magic fix, no perfect bend
Just learnin’ what it does in real time
When you use it just to survive life
And I’ve seen it twist, I’ve seen it break
Good intentions turn into mistakes
So I keep it raw, no filter, no mask
Just what it feels like when you actually ask
