MC Blance - Swimming with the Sharks

Yeah
Every time I go outside, I just wanna disappear
Every time you look at me, I just wanna make it clear
I am not what you expect, I embrace what you reject
I'm beyond what you inspect, what I do is not is jest, look
I don't come from a place you recognise
Look me up, that's a name you will never find
You only know all the thoughts that I set aside
And all my wit even though I'm at the end of mine

I stay scheming my wicked plans
Every new era, boom, that's a different man
Getting views that consume all my bitter stances
Just assume its obtuse for the fucking banter
Man I've been working, circling, first and
Foremost got a sore throat from the verses
Pray that it's my purpose, blessed and not accursed
Keep my head down, least below the fucking surface, geez

Cause I just have to say it's feeling like I'm down here swimming with the sharks
When everything you say is uncertain and the days keep lurking in the dark
I just want a way out but that's not the game pal, gotta play your part
I don't wanna complain, it's just feeling like I'm looking at my life from afar, yeah

When I move, I'm invisible
Pop beyond the cover, just collecting my residuals
Don't wanna be famous, just to be borderline mythical
Cause it's hard to find a person so uniquely individual, uh
But look I could talk my shit and say I'm sicker than thee
As if I'm not another wanderer who lives in a screen
Cause with an empty right pocket, something's missing from me
And I see AI generated images in my dreams

See I'm a child of the internet, YouTube was my television
Twitter was my journal, Spotify was my CD collection
I try not to think about what that did to me
I'm scrolling like hundreds of miles in a week
I just see jumble
Cause when the truth can't be discerned you don't need a muffle
And when they're tired and not angry you don't need muscle, it doesn't seem subtle
Take away the meaning of it all with a sea of fuck-all

I just have to say it's feeling like I'm down here swimming with the sharks
When everything you say is uncertain and the days keep lurking in the dark
I just want a way out but that's not the game pal, gotta play your part
Don't wanna complain, it's just feeling like I'm looking at my life from afar, yeah

You're not like what I've seen before
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
It hurts to see you slowly win
So let's hope it's warm when you throw me in

Now I just have to say it's feeling like I'm down here swimming with the sharks
When everything you say is uncertain and the days keep lurking in the dark
I just want a way out but that's not the game pal, gotta play your part
I don't wanna complain, it's just feeling like I'm looking at my life from afar, yeah

Now I just have to say it's feeling like I'm down here swimming with the sharks
When everything you say is uncertain and the days keep lurking in the dark
I just want a way out but that's not the game pal, gotta play your part
I don't wanna complain, it's just feeling like I'm looking at my life from afar, yeah

Woo
