Verse 1
I close my eyes, only to see that I’m frozen in time.
I hoped it would be that I’d open the skies,
but, lo and behold, these clothes are all dry.
This ego of mine
needs no rewind button— as much as I know that I’ll find nothin’
constructive by goin’ behind,
I still have this notion to try.
But why?
I stare at this box of home videos and nobody knows about
the commotion that goes on inside of this mind of mine,
it’s violent.
The tapes in this closet are taking me hostage.
The thought of it’s making me nauseous.
Like, “Wait, if I watch it, will I see that
I’ve washed away in the process of change and I’ve
Fuck.

And I know that you’re only here to keep me safe.
A sneaky arrangement of DNA.
And to be quite frank, I appreciate it.
But it’s been 22 years and I need my space.

So I’m tearing you down. You held me back--
“It’s not so bad”
"Don’t tell me that!”
Compel me to act!
I’ve seen my lane, now I need to take this leap of faith!

I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue.
And whenever you ask me how everything’s going
I wanna say “Fine, and how are how?”
and have it be true.

Pre
Looking at this bridge outside my window
I feel like I’m almost on the other side
I don’t want to waste my time,
I’m gonna grab my bags and go. (oh-ooh-oh)
Cuz nothing’s gonna last forever—
and I’ma watch it all burn down

Chorus
All burn down
Down, d-d-d-down
And I’ma watch it all burn down

(I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue.
And whenever you ask me how everything’s going
I wanna say “Fine, and how are how?”)

And I’ma watch it all burn down

Verse 2
If you would lay off my mind, I’d sleep.
One day off, I grind my teeth
Cuz I feel like I’m way off where I’d like to be
but
in chaos, I find my peace.
Oh—
You know me better than I know me?
All you ever do is say I’ve got a finite reach
and it’s time like these that I realize
I ain’t even looking for the motherfucking limelight
These are my journal entries disguised by beats.

What a breath of fresh air.

I finally see that the point of it all is for anybody living with a mind like me to be set free.
Or at least see that you don’t need that voice!
(despite what it seems like)
It seems likely if hindsight sees in 20/20, then the present eye’s 3D.
Cuz people like us
we think so much
that we end up basically chilling.
Yeah, roll that up, man.
Smoke that blunt and pretend that it’s making you brilliant.
We say, “I don’t care about that, but yo— if i did, it’d be way fucking different.”
Afraid to move forward
Afraid to be vocal
We can’e even make a decision.
It’s much easier to look back on life like,
“We could have been whatever we wanted to if we just tried.”
It’s much hard to fail while you’re chasing a vision.

I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue.
And whenever you ask me how everything’s going
I wanna say “Fine, and how are how?”
and have it be true.

Bridge
"So it’s possible to see the end, then begin.
Start looking into the future of what you would like to accomplish,
and where you would like to go, the person you would like to be.
And see if you can’t get a better picture of the finished objective.
See yourself there.
See yourself in possession of."
-Jim Rohn
