Oasis

(album: SANTIAGO - 2023)

I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothing like my little oasis
And it feel fucking amazing
Been living in my little oasis (Ooh-whoa)
Please, don't come around, tryna change it (Ooh-whoa)
I can't let that happen, I made it (Ooh-whoa)
Ain't nothing like my little oasis (Ooh-whoa)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa

Yeah
Bury my problems in a bottle and a feast
No meeting, no obligations, hardly getting any sleep
This is the dream, right?
Using random women just to boost my self-esteem, right?
Comfortable, complacent, I can't let go so I squeeze tight
Hanging on, I'm a mess (Mess)
I could've swore that I was 'posed to be going somewhere but I forget
I'm in a drunken stupor, feel like a fucking loser
I don't know what I even want, don't see a fucking future
Feel like I have everything but I feel nothing
Spent a quarter million dollars on a car that I don't need just to feel something (Yeah)
Still nothing
Well, everything else failed, I might as well try self-destructing
Dress it up though, make it look sexy so I don't notice
That my being is deteriorating, I'm losing focus
At least it's got a multi, multi platinum sound to it
Get your shit together, yeah, I get around to it

I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothing like my little oasis
And it feel fucking amazing
Been living in my little oasis (Ooh-whoa)
Please, don't come around, tryna change it (Ooh-whoa)
I can't let that happen, I made it (Ooh-whoa)
Ain't nothing like my little oasis (Ooh-whoa)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa

Losing direction by the minute, I'm tripping, I'm stalling
Feeling like DMX 'cause lately I'm slipping, I'm falling
Fuck it, I'm balling, I'll get back on track tomorrow
I got time, ain't no rush, before you know it, it's tomorrow, damn
Defeated, depleted, don't wanna believe it
Anxiety beating my ass, I'm over eating
I put on thirty pounds of fat, friends say I'm getting money
If this is rich then take me back to being broke and bummy
I made an independent fortune and my engines foreign
But my stress is soaring, bootleg pornos off a Reddit forum
Every morning, that's a coping mechanism
Like the smoking and the drinking
And I'm prone to overthinking
Need a self suit (Yeah)
I got some bad habits (Yeah)
Check my account though, it just looks like I'm a cash addict (Ha)
I'm back at it every day, drifting further away
Go get your shit together, maybe tomorrow but not today

I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothing like my little oasis
And it feel fucking amazing
Been living in my little oasis (Ooh-whoa)
Please, don't come around, tryna change it (Ooh-whoa)
I can't let that happen, I made it (Ooh-whoa)
Ain't nothing like my little oasis (Ooh-whoa)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
