No Place to Hide I know this has nothing to do with anyone in my life, but I figured I’d see what I can get out of it since it’s late at night and my thoughts are starting to get loose. I feel like the truth will never fully be shown or come my way, so when I go out and look for it, I come back feeling unwell and lost, thinking it was just a waste of time. I know things happen for a reason and shit never goes as planned. But for some reason, when it comes to you, everything around me makes me question all our doings. I can’t tell if this is the life I was born to live with, or if you're the one who’s supposed to take me out of it and show me the truth that’s been hidden away from me all these years. I can’t help but think of you day and night, searching for you in the empty streets I come across, thinking that you’ll come out of the shadows and tell me what I’ve been needing to hear. You’re the one who crosses my mind day and night, knowing there’s no telling when I’ll see you agai...

There's No Need to Worry / Flip the Script and Go!! Hey, sorry, I know there's not much to say right now, but I just gotta let you know that I've been thinking a lot about you lately, and I haven't been able to stop when I know I should. I know this feeling will pass eventually, but in the meantime I'm just going to use this time to let you know everything that's been going on with me when it comes to the thought of you, so if it seems out of place I apologize in advance. I guess part of me still thinks there's a chance you and I will cross paths again one day and get to talking, only to lose track of time and make it work for the second time around. I know my presence seems to come and go like the seasons change, but the truth is it's never been that easy for me to watch you go and have me stay behind where you left me. I wish I could go with you sometimes, but then again I let the thoughts of hurting you and letting you down along the way cause me to s...

Do You Ever Think About the Shit You Did? I know it’s no longer my place to wonder about you, but sometimes I feel like I need to check up on you and see how you’ve been doing, and hope everything’s been going well for you, but then again, what’s the point of it?! It would only make me seem like I’m trying to gain something from you when in reality, that’s never been the case when I think of you! I actually did care for you from the moment we met, but I know my heart and mind were on other things, and that’s my fault! I just wish you were still around so I wouldn’t feel so lost in this world! Sometimes I go back on our old photos, thinking back to what we once had, only to realize it’ll never happen again because of our decisions in the past, and it sucks it had to be that way, but it was your call, and I just accepted it, thinking nothing of it at the time!  But as time went on, I kept having thoughts about you, making me wonder if it was really worth going through the pain of era...

Just Promise Me One Thing Wish I knew where to go from here without you next to me. I thought we got it right between us two, but I guess my avoidant issues came into play, and I thought of you as nothing more than just another memory in the works. It sucks it came to this, but it's whatever. You must've said or done something that was no longer worth my time, and that's fucked up on my part because I thought you were pretty cool, but it looks like my brain and heart had other plans. I knew eventually this would happen but didn't think it would actually be so soon.  But I can't rewind time or bring you back when it has already happened. All we can do now is just cross paths and act as if we never met and go about our lives as we normally would do. I know you must've thought of me as someone you could rely on and depend on, but the truth is I'm way too hyper-independent to be giving it my all towards someone. I'd rather give it my all in the creative work...

Head to Toe I Don't Remember You Never gave a fuck about you or the shit you did. I just wanted to see what you were about, and turns out you were never really the one I could talk to. So I cut my ties and forgot about you. It wasn't anything that you did. I'm just to self centered and only focused on myself to give a damn about someone else and their life. I'm not trying to go out of my way and be a bother to others. So I sit back and avoid the drama, watching it all unfold but don't say a word because what's the point? Everyone always wants a reaction from me just to watch me walk out the door and go back to bed because what the fuck do I look like being entertained by some fuck shit that you did? It's so pointless and useless at this point. You're a whole grown man with a fucking kid, and you wanna go out of your way and get mad at me for something that was never even about you. It's like y'all are all the same, just in different fonts. I don...

Bad for Me You know who you are, so don't be shocked when this gets to you. It's just easier this way than having to track you down as if you're a missing person. I know where you stay and go; I just choose to stay clear of all those places. I feel like the timing is never on my side when I see you, so I let the time go by as the thought of you slowly slips away, making me forget what you were to me. I go to bed late at night thinking about what it could have all meant, only to have no recollection of it in the morning. I feel you watching me whenever I'm out and about, only to look around and see an empty street. I don't know what it all means right now, but eventually it'll all come clear to me as to why your presence is lingering in the void as if it's trying to escape and come my way, knowing there's no more room for me in your life. At least not from when we last spoke. But if you're ever near and need to talk, then please feel free to do so; I ...

Not Sure What This Is... I know I did some more digging on my origins and wanted to see if the orphanage I was from was still around, but I didn't find any clues, so I just watched some videos on adoption agencies in Kazakhstan and still didn't find the building I was looking for. I know there's more than one adoption house in Kazakhstan, but for me to not find the one that I was photographed in front of is kind of odd, don't you think, or am I just tripping? Yeah, they could have changed the color of it, but the entire structure of a building? Please be so for real. What do you mean you can't find this building? It's in a city that still exists to this day, so why can't I find it? Like, a building doesn't just get up and walk away, ya know. I mean, it could have been torn down or whatever, but then I'd want to know why it was torn down and whether there are any secrets that it held. I don't know; I just wanna figure out why my existence was ever...

Just to See What I'm About You got me in a zone where all I wanna do is drive and see where it all leads. I know these roads don't mean that much, but the destination will all be worth it if we just lock in and get this shit where it's supposed to be. Got too many things goin on right now that there's no room for errors. People thinking shit is all sweet and nice, but we both know it's all just an act to get what they need, so we play it cool and smart to not alert the cops, knowing it'll all get back to us one day, but for right now, who cares. As long as the money is in the bag and we on the way, then there's no telling what the consequences are or will be. Just trying to live a life so free that we never gotta second-guess this shit. Stepping out right as we got places to be only to get behind the wheel to never be seen ever again.  New life too fast it's got me feeling like it's meant to be nothing really seems to ever go right but being behind t...

I Don't Care Enough to Visit Too many times you've been calling my phone, trying to pick a fight, knowing I don't wanna be involved in it. You hate the fact that you no longer have access to me, or the thought of you no longer bothers me. You're dead to me, like all these other people around me. You thought you'd never become like those around me, but look where you're standing now. You're on the same side as them, wondering where you went wrong when it was pretty obvious as to why I put you there. You had your list, and I had mine; only mine showed me the way to peace, while yours had the names of all the other people you could get with, and that's what makes us different. You crave the attention of others while I avoid the chaos, finding peace in the solitude. You tried so hard to pick a fight with me, knowing I'd just kick back, asking if you're done making a fool out of yourself. I never had any sort of beef or issue with you. It's just t...

Stop Asking, What Are We I gotta take a step back and chill out for a bit because the vibes are no longer how I last left them with you, and it's making me look like the bad guy even though I haven't done anything but stay lowkey and out of the way from the drama. I used to see you every few days; now it's only a few months in and out when I'm in town, finding my way back. I can't tell if the nights have been lonely for me or just for you. Because I see you living life from the pics you post, thinking it was for the best, but when you hit my line you're crying your eyes out, asking for my return, not knowing why my return even matters to you when you chose to go silent. I guess the thought of me didn't go as planned for you. You end up looking for a sign in the songs I put out on what we are, but the truth is, I haven't made a single song about you yet, and even if I did, I don't think the world is ready to hear my side of the story after all the lie...

Just Wanna Run Away Same old pain, same old people! Tired of the lies making me wish I didn’t have to play these stupid games with them! Trying to act as if it’s all sweet and nice when I don’t see the point of them being in my life! I just wanted to live a life so free that I don’t have to explain how I feel every time I’m out and about doing my own thing! Tired of people being in my way and thinking they can stay next to me as if I need them! Please just go away and let me run off into the void where I belong! This fucking chemistry that you think you’ll have with me will never see the light of day! I'm not sure if I even wanna bother with my own existence anymore! It’s almost as if my life is no longer mine to have! Everyone seems to have their place in my life, but I don’t know where my place is anymore in theirs! It all just feels like one big lie, trying to convince myself that they’re my friends and family, but overall it feels like they’re just killing me slowly as time goe...

It's Time to Let it Go Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe I'm just so used to getting hurt that I felt like pushing myself clear from you was the only way. I guess only time will tell, and we can just go from there. I don't really care to see the point of checking my phone once or twice when there's nothing coming in. I joke aside as if it's how it's supposed to be, but when it comes to you, I feel like there should have been a chance where I could've been on your mind. But instead, it's just a blank space, and I'm cool with that. Fewer feelings and fewer things to deal with. I don't really know what I wanted when it came to you, so I kept it cool and played my part. But at the same time, I couldn't help but think about all the what-ifs, only to drop the act and thought of ever being with you. I saw you walking by, thinking we could laugh about it all, but instead, I just put my head down and turned the corner, hoping you didn't notice me. I d...

Midnight Drive Deep in thought, trying to figure out where to go, only to think of you making me wonder what you're up to, hoping you're safe and well, only to call your line asking how you are. We get to talking, only for me to show up at your house a few hours later, thinking nothing of it. You get in the car, asking if you can drive, only for me to say sure, and you take off, making me wonder if you're ever coming back lol. 2 minutes go by, and you're pulling back into the drive, asking if I'm coming, and I say sure, where to. You reply back with nowhere, but it'll be fun, trust me. So I look down the street with an empty gaze and hop in, knowing we might not make it back alive. I let you drive as I sat back and listened to the gears shift, looking out the window, asking myself if I'll ever be good enough for someone. I look back your way, seeing a smile on your face, making me realize that I already was. I didn't second-guess my judgments when it cam...

Hey Kid, It's Going to Be Okay... You might not know anything about me and who I am, but I know who you are and what you've been through and all the tears you cried behind the closed doors, hoping nobody would hear you. You lie to yourself about the pain not being there or it not hurting you as bad as you think it is, but the truth is, it's killing you from within, thinking that ignoring it is the safer option. I see the things you do to make sure those around you are safe and well, only to come back home and find yourself on the floor asking why it had to be you and not the other way around. You lay there for hours thinking of all the ways to end it, but instead you fall asleep for 5-8 hours, hoping the thoughts and pain go away. You're stronger than you'll ever know, and I know, and I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you for keeping yourself alive for this long. You keep pushing and overcoming the shitty obstacles as you did when you were first born, ...

Never Fully Recovered Now we both know why you can’t stop seeing me, yet you act as if you do! You go around and come back as if you did nothing wrong, only to find yourself crying out loud as if I’ve got something to say or do when, in reality, there’s nothing I can do! You’re no longer a priority of mine, yet you act as if you are! I wish you’d get a grip and understand that there’s nothing between the two of us, nor will there ever be! You already killed me, and now you’re asking for forgiveness- knowing I have nothing left to say is beyond me! So please stop coming back and acting as if things are good! I only told you that so you’d stop overthinking shit with me! It was never an actual guarantee about us being good! I just needed you out of the way so I could focus on myself and the things that needed to be done! You got your way, now let me get my way! I don’t care to ask for much, but what I do ask for, I’m going to need you to respect it and move out of the way when it’s asked!...
