Getting Over It

Sick with your self-indulgence
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
(Tough Luck)
Lost in your false delusion
I wanna listen but you don't say much
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
(Get Up)
This is tough love
This is getting over it
What's this weight that's pulling your chin down
That's self-hate, your eyes are a ghost town
I won't wait, don't want you to miss out
Start up the truck, so many stories ahead
I know you're a victim
Not gonna deny that
Your spirit is liquid
And I've suffered like that
We're fighting you frozen
And we're gonna show them
I know you hate to count on others,
I feel the same
But I need you standing on your feet
Sick with your self-indulgence
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
(Tough Luck)
Lost in your false delusion
I wanna listen but you don't say much
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
(Get Up)
You got one life
You're gonna piss it all away
Self-pity ain't safe
Sick with your self-indulgence
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
(Tough Luck)
Lost in your false delusion
I wanna listen but you don't say much
I wanna talk to you but you won't budge
(Get Up)

[King Theta]
I woke up
To quite the novel of apology, it's over
No need to bother me with transparency
Why you gotta act like a fool like that
Take it all away then try to give it right back
I could never fuck with you again, that's facts
Play me one time, get left in the past
[T Shan]
I wish you weren't so god damn beautiful
I wish you weren't a bitch
I wish you never did the things you did
Things could've been different
She said she want me back, I've had enough of that
You made my lungs colapse, I'm tryna catch a breath
You're an avalanche waiting to happen
Yeah I could taste the cyanide
On your lips, you're dangerous
Stay away, the other side
Don't wanna kiss, you're dangerous
[King Theta]
Why you gotta act like a fool like that
Take it all away then try to give it right back
I could never fuck with you again, that's facts
Play me one time, get left in the past
You need cold shoulder
You don't need closure
Why you gotta act like a fool like that
Take it all away then try to give it right back
I could never fuck with you again, that's facts
Play me one time, get left in the past

Tell me why I gotta do this
Tell me why I gotta play a game
That I'm always losing
Whole thing seems stupid
I don't even want the prize
While my soul gets bruises
I would take your advice
But I don't wanna end up with your life
A suburban nightmare, your a carbon copy
And a vacant zombie
They tried to make me match the even background
They tried to manufacture me
They never could
I'm gonna stay in my own lane
I'm gonna stay in my own lane
And I don't care if you should choose
To do the same
Jealousy is a distraction
Brush it off with a passion
Cause you'll be in the same spot decades later
I'll be on a straight shot, trailblazing
Guess I'm gonna have to face it
I could never get along
With the crowd so basic
Won't stay complacent,
Wanna write so many songs
Wanna see so many places
If I could, I'd do exactly what I'm told
Mute my colors, take the safe route
I'd just suffer, rip the cage down
They tried to make me match the even background
They tried to manufacture me
I'm gonna stay in my own lane
I'm gonna stay in my own lane
And I don't care if you should choose
To do the same
Jealousy is a distraction
Brush it off with a passion
Cause you'll be in the same spot decades later
I'll be on a straight shot, trailblazing

Too Bad
02:48

Clear your head out, you never hear me
Think I was good, it doesn't matter when it's over
A lawnmower to a four leaf clover
A bartender when you're tryna stay sober
I'm losing my composure, I'm tryna be sorry but
It's too bad
Don't got enough self-love to make good choices
Fuck that
I'm gonna poor myself a glass of this poison
Say I wanna get better
Wanna be a go getter
I don't wanna talk about the problems
That are killing me
Say I wanna get better
Wanna be a go getter
All I do is dream about
A person I could never be
A classroom, another place I don't fit in
Taboo, everything I'm involved in
Trash, if I can't make a good living
Never who I shoulda been from the beginning
White wine like oil through a pipeline
High life fading in and out of sightlines
Skyline, see it in another timeline
This isn't the one where I'm gonna come through
It's too bad
Don't got enough self-love to make good choices
Fuck that
I'm gonna poor myself a glass of this poison
Say I wanna get better
Wanna be a go getter
I don't wanna talk about the problems
That are killing me
Say I wanna get better
Wanna be a go getter
All I do is dream about
A person I could never be
I wanna see my name in lights
I wanna be a lover and a good friend
I wanna live a positive life
Dream it all in color from the distance
It's too bad
Don't got enough self-love to make good choices
Fuck that
I'm gonna poor myself a glass of this poison
Say I wanna get better
Wanna be a go getter
I don't wanna talk about the problems
That are killing me
Say I wanna get better
Wanna be a go getter
All I do is dream about
A person I could never be

King Theta:
Tripping on tapestries in 2 am apathy
All the things I chose to ignore
Are rising up to the surface
Remember fallacies
I glossed over passively,
Smoke creeps out from under the door,
And I can’t sleep now
I was a pawn
I was just a stepping stone
Throw a so-called friend a bone
Bait the knife right to my throat
Come to find out I’m all alone
Brady Amour:
Damn
I don't need this
You're keepin your secrets
Not tellin me them
Now I'm thinking of myself this time
Knew that I was always right
Never had anyone but me
You'll see
King Theta:
I was a pawn
I was just a stepping stone
Throw a so-called friend a bone
Bait the knife right to my throat
Come to find out I’m all alone
I pulled my head out of the sand
My trusted brother's got blood on his hands

Debt of My Youth
02:10
|
|||
|
It's been a long way home
From the drug fueled mess
The fake friends
That I tried to impress
I'm in a bad, bad mood
Drowning in stress
But I'm paying off the debt of my youth
I spent a long, long time
Tryna figure it out
Is there a meaningful way
To stop the lingering doubt
I met a bad, bad girl
and she put me through hell
I'll be paying off the debt of my youth
Til I'm dead
I was way, way too
Caught up in the chase
Tryna feel something real
But the whole thing was fake
I made bad, bad choices
Took what I could take
Now I'm paying off the debt of my youth
Lost, I was a memory
Shouting through neurons to live
Cost, A negative balance
Is bouncing the love I could give
Led a crusade plundering balance
I promised that I would get here
I wasn't safe, forgot who I was
Now I'm honestly getting better
Lost, I was a memory
Shouting through neurons to live
Cost, A negative balance
Is bouncing the love I could give

Bridge Pt. 2
02:29
|

|
I saw my destiny
In the American river
800 feet below Foresthill bridge
I felt the pressure on my feet
I heard the whispers of the trees
And when I'm drifting off to sleep
Comes honesty
I still see my self there
And I'm so fuckin' scared
Cause through my blank stare
I still see that you care
I lost hope
Somewhere along the way
I gotta fight
Cursed with birth and burdened by
The hearts that pump in parallel
I can't hide
I'm not beyond repair
But one inch away from being there

[King Theta]
At the mercy of my habits
Is this liver, I'm not a quitter
Drive every day through a storm of bullets
Lie every day: Your burden, I can pull it
Fuck it I'll do what I wanna do
Say what I wanna say
Cause I'm lookin straight down a .22
(Limited time, don't wanna waste)
Fuck am I gonna lose
There's only so many days
I'm lookin straight down a .22
(I wanna live, I wanna chase)
[SuiSai]
Tick tick tick!
Break the arms off that clock
Won't worry bout things I can can't control
Thats just nonsense
Its often these thoughts of
Regret bubble up
Overflowing
The boiling water off stovetops
Gotta stop staying courses
With no end
Nature forces everyone to make decisions to ascend
[King Theta]
I'm gonna do what I wanna do
Say what I wanna say
Cause I'm lookin straight down a .22
(Limited time, don't wanna waste)
Fuck am I gonna lose
There's only so many days
I'm lookin straight down a .22
(I wanna live, I wanna chase)
Fuck it I'll do what I wanna do
Say what I wanna say
Cause I'm lookin straight down a .22
(Limited time, don't wanna waste)
Fuck am I gonna lose
There's only so many days
I'm lookin straight down a .22
(I wanna live, I wanna chase)
