looper Lyrics

It feels like I'm stuck in a loop

Traveling in circles, tryna figure out

The Ultimate Truth

"What's the purpose?" and, "Why do I exist?"

So I look under the surface and hope that I get a glimpse of some inner peace

It isn't me that I'm living for

Why do I insist on taking less and always giving more?

It only leaves me lifeless, and I'm working on fighting it

But the price is more than I would like it

Life is a never ending struggle

Juggling the troubles

Thinking maybe one day you'll be comfortable

And the tunnel's getting longer as I travel it

Battle with inadequate emotions; shackled in a prison of my thoughts

It isn't what I want, but the feeling's so strong that I can't seem to shake it off

But I push on through

Try to look strong too

The weight I carry on my shoulders can't be put on you

And that was right around the time that I picked up a pen

Started writing out these rhymes hoping people would listen to them

Script it on a paper and throw it into the wind

I can only pray I'll never live in this prison again

When life keeps moving back and forth

And you barely get to grasp

What you're asking for

You shouldn't wallow in your sadness

Attack with force

Never let your passion move past the door

Hold your ground, ignore the sounds

Of the people ridiculing this war you've found

The more you let it get to you, the more you drown

And you can never be king if you've never worn that crown

And so I put my heart into my art

I haven't made a lot of progress, but it's a start

It's a part of who I wanna be, and honestly it's probably the only thing that's constantly keeping me from ripping apart

Even when I'm at my lowest moments I just try to stay focused and hope it's enough

I open up

I wanna let you in, let you see where I've been

Spread so thin

You know it's tough to contain all of the pain that's been eating at your brain

You feign happiness in an effort to look the same

You don't want anyone to know you're ashamed

Love the person who you were

Hate the person you became

You gotta face the facts, you can never go back

You can only pick and choose the direction of your path

And I've detached from "nowhere" to "now here"

I used to act so scared, now I'm loud and clear

Taking the stage, and paving the way

Making them say, "That kid is really praising the day"

Used to be so dead, but I've awakened from the grave, and I'm racing through creations and saving them for the page

And it feels so nice, to do right by me

To take my vision and flip it into the life that I breathe

So I'm leaving the basement; building a foundation

There ain't no mistaking

Life is what you make it

When life keeps moving back and forth

And you barely get to grasp

what you're asking for

You shouldn't wallow in your sadness

Attack with force

Never let your passion move past the door

Hold your ground, ignore the sounds

Of the people ridiculing this war you've found

The more you let it get to you, the more you drown

So don't back down

You can't afford it now
