Distress

(album: Floating Palace - 2021)

I'm stuck in distress
I feel like a wreck, when
My life is a mess
I can't take rejection
[x2]

What I did yesterday, I won't do it today
What I'm feeling right now
Shit ain't going away
What I need to go through
Is dig deep and erase
Everything around me that is causing distaste
I don't want to be good
Bitch, I want to be great
Life just gives and it takes
It ain't fair, no one's safe
Let's be real, at this rate
I will burn into space
Leave this world with no trace
Lose everything I make
But I keep moving with my head down till I'm stacking millions on my bed stand, yeah
Learn to take everything one at a time
Gotta live in the present, yeah
Fucked up once but now I gotta chance
To make a new impression, yeah
That's why I'm up late working in the studio
Bitch I ain't never resting, yeah
Ten years later still pushing through delays
(?) wanna go see me break
Living off instinct is the only replay
Never let up, ain't giving no leeway
Say what's up like Sacagawea
Look at my face, you cannot relay
Learn to embrace
This shit ain't easy
Need to switch up, you can't appease me

I'm stuck in distress
I feel like a wreck, when
My life is a mess
I can't take rejection
[x2]

Now I'm back on the track
Needed time to adjust
Needed to go unpack
Everything that was wrong
Am I what I attract?
Is this what I've become?
I will go and detach
From everything that's wrong
Like weighing so heavy
Running blind in the dark
I am making my mark
You can't tear this apart
All you see is the end
You never see the start
Anyway to ascend
I won't wait to depart
Where was your concern
When I was in the bottom
Talking to myself
Saying I don't need no one?
Closer the the point
I find myself fly
I don't need two legs to go and run
I'm way too stressed
From me weighing on my head
I ain't got no time to steam in front
All I see is me against the world
Never needed no motherfucking push to go and jump
Ten years later and bitch I'm still here
Never been dead?
That still ain't been clear
I was born ready for a war
But appear
I'ma trip your legs so dont come 'round here
Fuck your respect, I will not hang
Rob my money, can't rob my career
Still made it out
Still living with no fear
I will never stop until I disappear

I'm stuck in distress
I feel like a wreck, when
My life is a mess
I can't take rejection
