J2rs - Scarlet

My bloodstream filled with melatonin
Ceiling's ice, my vision's frozen
The time of my life, yeah, that was stolen
Nothing around-a here that isn't broken
Playing lies in my head, for the feeling
My teeth grind, yeah, I'm still just seething
Labeled obsolete, keep my hands deceiving
Save the repeat, this town's really just demeaning
Don't tell me I'm the only one feeling this way
(Feeling this way?)
Don't tell me I'm one feeling this weight
(Nah, hold up)
All the wolves here they hiding right in sheep's clothing
Loads of people speaking words with golden coatings
Won't be left out, nah, won't be struck down loathing
Won't be disavowed, won't be stuck at --
(Now Loading)
Thinking 'bout the people who used to smile and wave
I'd talk to them but they'll lie say won't forget my eyes and name
I'm at an impasse, no importance -- yeah, no way
Until I've got the artifacts to back up how I create
Playing bloody knuckles, painting all the brick walls
Whoa
Won't you let me be myself this one time?
Let me by myself this one time, lo
Whoa
That's been the trick, that's been the dream
Facts two time, it's tearing at seams
While you're staring they're going in for the steal
No one gives a fuck about how you really feel
Cause it don't matter how philosophical I'll be
Only fix they eyes if I go flexing Versace
A pleasure to see familiar faces when we
Get out of this cycle of ever growing maybes
When they bowing down to me, getting down to my deeds
Maybe I can chill out but now I can only proceed
Before I'm wiped out by something right in my genes
But tonight I'll help myself freely and formally
Fuck this waiting, getting too long
Keep my eyes front before I view this wrong
Before my image gets distorted and overblown
Before my thinking starts turning right off and gone
Thinking 'bout the people who used to smile and wave
I'd talk to them but they'll lie say won't forget my eyes and name
I'm at an impasse, no importance -- yeah, no way
Until I've got the artifacts to back up how I create
Not a connection, nah
It's more like a tether
Raising questions of whether or not I can sail through this weather
A record setter of how fast I fell
A newsline header
Scarlet
Because my vision's getting redder and redder
In my letter
I'll tell her how I'll make decisions better
Fuck the sentiment for allowing all this shit to fester
To my objectors
I'll be your jester
My temper's going up along with all the pressure you'll measure with pleasure
Playing bloody knuckles, painting all the brick walls
Whoa
Won't you let me be myself this one time?
Let me by myself this one time, lo
Whoa
