Everybody Drops

(album: Demos (Do Not Share), Vol. II - 2020)

I've been on the run for so long
I don't nowhere I'm going
Tryna find my way back to home
I don't show no signs of slowing (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
But, we all must stop (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
Eventually everybody drops

Yes, I was a pusher
A pusher?
Yes, I was a pushy, pushing, pusher
Pushing, pusher
I pushed myself hard
'Til I couldn't push no farther
My father he told me, "Son, you work too goddamn hard-er"
But, lager he stopped me from thinking
That my drinking
Glass clinking
Never sinking
My ability to keep on linking
To the rhythm's of this world
I denied myself love, and myself loving it grows
I'm wishing for a pause
But, my brain it never slows-oh-oh-oh

(I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
Every single thought we grow
Every time we stumble there's a lesson in the blow (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
But, I'm learning so many lessons
That I'm begging for them just stop
I'm begging for peace
And I'm leaving my thoughts
'Cause my brain is about to pop, ha!

I've been on the run for so long
I don't nowhere I'm going
Tryna find my way back to home
I don't show no signs of slowing (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
But, we all must stop (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
Eventually everybody drops

I never made Top of the Pops
'Cause my body went and stopped, like the hands on a broken clock
Tick-tock, quick shock
Yes, you're made redundant
I swear I'm not crying Mom, I'm fine I'm chopping onions
It's hard not to be bitter, when your body it doesn't work
When your brain
Just gives you pain
To live through, fighting off the hurt
Fuck every virus dancing with the hemoglobin in my veins
Fuck every time a doctor looked at me with pity in his face
And fuck fate
If this is fate at work
Fate, fuck you
How many lessons in this life must I live through?
I swear I had never done anything to deserve this
I kept my spirit kind, and yet it's burning in the furnace

It's burning, burning, worsens
It's burning 'til I'm worthless
I feel my body burning up
I'm bleeding on these verses
I'm losing sight of purpose
I'm starting not to care
'Cause you've taken all my dreams from me
There's nothing left there

I've been on the run for so long
I don't nowhere I'm going
Tryna find my way back to home
I don't show no signs of slowing (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
But, we all must stop (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
Eventually everybody drops

(I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
But, we all must stop (I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
Eventually everybody drops

(I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
(I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
(I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
(I-I oh, I-I oh-ah-oh)
