I wrote this song
With a green sharpie pen
They didn't pay for product placement
Well, this is now, that was then
Now I'm swimming in it
I kid, I kid
Admittedly, I'm literally just a kid
Well, metaphorically of course
I went off course,
Endorsed my friends, and I basically ignored myself
Now my pen ran out
Now the ink is black
Just Like the past
that I really wish I could get back
So I could practice, rehash the madness
And come to terms with my darkness
Like the color of this pen
But that was then
Sunny days
Bring rain
that's how them flowers grow
Them yellow rays
Red flames
Up past the atmosphere
You're evergreen
You're strong
And when that darkness comes
You're all alone
But you're standing tall
Lately my palette
Has been exclusively red
There's no green
No life
It's just the color of death
It's just the color of pain
Just the hues of the rage
I gotta do something
To get me out of this cage
I tell ya
Every little sin been coming back to haunt me
My Karma been coming heavy
father not been responding
I pray
Less and less
Cause he don't hit me back
I can't deal any longer
Think I'm under attack
It's like
Everything you made
Is close to crumbling
Them stomach pains
Those shakes
They got you stumbling
You're unafraid
Of change
But boy it hurts ya
To the core
And love don't live here anymore
The green pen came back
But I can't guarantee for how long
There's something pretty in that concept
Unaware of expiration, dragging out my admiration
Now I'm just elated that it ain't gone yet
That's the essence of a human being
Short sighted, or blinded, but dumb enough to keep on just believing
That time won't catch up
Like your beauty won't wrinkle
My rhymes won't dry up
Like fame won't come knocking
Like death won't come creeping
Like you ain't terrified at night the phone might start ringing
That your grandad passed
Or mom won't wake up
It's like a waking night terror and I just can't wake up
But I delude myself to thinking that it's green and ever verdant
And the darker that it gets just means I'm stronger, but I'm hurting
And I really never complain so I appreciate your ears
I promise that I'll make you proud
But I might need a couple years
It's alright
I know you
Wanna stay inside
I'm not lying
When I say I just might
Release my demons and fly
Into the night sky
It's alright
It's alright
