Elliot P - Listen to Me

So many things I can't deny
Tell me my wings are meant to fly
True to myself before I die
The clock is ticking and I don't know why
 
Ain't no trust that I can buy
And support's not certified
Keeping it for me, myself, and I
Keeping it for me, myself, and I
 
Sigh, sigh take a look through my eyes
See for yourself what it's like to be on the other side
Roaming and roaming in circle
 
How's the inside so breezy
Where is this wind of change coming from
With both my feet in hardened cement
Taking a step forward ain't that easy
 
And I seem to own it
But at the speed you're thrown in
You don't realise an eighth of your life has past
The more you lie to yourself the longer it lasts
 
Apprehending harsh words on repeat
Shouldn't be bothering it wouldn't be a defeat
I'm just easing my way on the sound of the beat so
Listen to me, listen to me

Supposedly I'm fully covered in sins
I won't believe it, but this is really burning within
The fire's growing and my skin's getting thin
So listen to me, listen to me

Not being able to be who you truly are
Looking either from a close or from a far
Is only gonna tear yourself apart
If there is nothing left to lose you should be shooting for the stars

Show my colours, it's all that matters
I'll be who I want to be, which is the best of myself
Deeply buried inside of me
Take it out of this dark and cold well and wear it proudly

I'll be vulnerable, but I'll be in the stable
I'll be vulnerable, but won't allow myself to
Stumble upon those who wish to see me crumble
 
Oh, it's getting really old
Act the way you're told
Might be sounding bold
It's all under control
Hate those who are sold
To those social patrol
Let's act as a whole
No destructive goals
 
I do know my wings are meant for flying
And my existence is meant for trying
And I know what it's implying
All these things I'll stop denying
 
I take it with a grain of salt
Don't want to worry about
If it'll be going south
Or if I'll find my way out
 
Second guessing everything
Wish counting blessing was my thing
Mental mutilation
Please hold this temptation to
 
Shine your light of ignorance
Use your voice of obedience
Gotta understand I ain't here to dance
Your lack of balance won't change my stance
 
I wanna stay sane
Staying in the left lane
Passing on all of those who complain
I must jump on that rolling side train
