Circles

(album: Surfacing - 2019)

Too many years of this, too many fears of this
Too many tears on deafened ears 'bout shit that don't exist
This time the difference is, I got this confidence
No longer needing your permission for my self defense
I can't stress this enough, the best self is self love
Tryna find the best in hellishness from which I come
If preservation is what you call "selfishness"
I'd rather be selfish than be helpless to my helplessness

I don't wanna talk in circles to myself
I think I should talk about my mental health
I don't wanna talk in circles to myself
I already know that story way too well

Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (In circles to myself)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (Haha)

This worry shit is lethal, got too much shit to do
Too many dreams and people waiting on them coming true
Our paths were never equal, but I still got love for you
Regardless if you think it's true
'Cause if I leave, I'm ungrateful and selfish
But if I stay, I end up hateful and helpless
That in between has kept me from my progression
For far too long
Yes, I changed up (Yes, he changed up)
There's no going back
You're only a stranger if you choose to be that

I don't wanna talk in circles to myself
I think I should talk about my mental health
I don't wanna talk in circles to myself
I already know that story way too well

Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (In circles to myself)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (Haha)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (In circles to myself)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (In circles to myself)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (In circles to myself)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (In circles to myself)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (Hey man, uh, must have missed you, but)
Talk to my, talk to my, talk to my, talk to my (Listen, we've been through a lot of shit together, a lot of stuff has changed, and)
I just wanted to see if you were, you know, coming home for the holidays
Um, anyways, I wanted to say that I'm super, super proud of you And we'd love to see you, miss you dude, later
