Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to feel like

Sometimes, experiencing genuine emotions is challenging.

Sometimes it's hard to feel like, we're living in real life

Reflecting on the difficulty of feeling connected to reality.

This all could be holograms a digital insight

Suggesting a sense of skepticism, considering life as potentially artificial.

Well fuck it I'm here right, it is what it is right

Acceptance of the present situation, acknowledging it for what it is.

Wake up just to go to bed, ain't shit but to live right

Life seems routine and mundane, with little purpose beyond survival.

Aye see I think that happiness is rare like a holographic

Viewing happiness as rare, comparing it to a holographic image.

Most are just content with how they live anymore is acting

Many people settle for their current lives, engaging in mere performance.

They don't even know it, they just go thru the moments as if

People are unaware of their actions, going through life without reflection.

Someday shit might happen to 'em if they just hope and exist

Living with the expectation that something positive might happen passively.

Well here to hoping if not then here's to coping

Expressing optimism and resilience in the face of uncertainty.

Live your life like a machine to put the gears in motion

Encouragement to lead a mechanical, systematic life to drive progress.

Stay inside of ya box, you keep your fears out the open

Staying within one's comfort zone to avoid confronting fears openly.

Still its this weight on ya chest, can't shake the feeling of choking

Feeling burdened, struggling with an overwhelming sensation of suffocation.

You put yo feels in a potion, you never dream when you rest

Emotions are suppressed or altered, possibly through substance use.

You try and heal the emotion, you keep them pills in ya desk

Attempting to heal emotional pain, relying on medication or substances.

But I can't trip when I'm no different, I'm as ill as the next

Acknowledging personal struggles and challenges, emphasizing universality.

You can't be real with who's around you, just be real with yourself

Advocating for authenticity and honesty with oneself.

Cuz being honest though

Interruption in the thought, leaving the listener in suspense.

I been on my level, I been smoking heavy

Personal experiences of being on a certain emotional level, using substances.

I been drinking so much I probably broke a levee

Excessive drinking as a coping mechanism, possibly leading to emotional overflow.

I been trying' to fight but these vices stay out to get me

Struggling against personal vices that continuously entice and beckon.

Keep calling me back to bed, so enticing I can't resist it

The allure of negative habits, especially the temptation to return to bed.

There's viruses in the system, corruption from the inside

Perceiving internal issues and corruption within the larger system.

Try to outwardly fix it but never know where to find

Attempting external solutions without knowing the root causes.

Answers to all our questions, I think we don't spend the time

Concerns about unanswered questions, suggesting a lack of introspection.

To busy with all the bullshit we tell ourselves we should mind

Distractions from personal issues, indulging in trivial matters.

But where do we draw the line? when do we lose our patience

Raising questions about personal boundaries and limits.

It might not be life worth living if everybody's a patient

Reflecting on the value of life when everyone is considered a patient.

I put that shit on a god, whichever one will take it

A solemn oath, expressing a willingness to relinquish burdens to a higher power.

I'm ready to know what's wrong, promise you I can face it

Readiness to confront and understand personal issues.

I'm tired of fucking pacing and people keep talking blessings

Frustration with a lack of progress, possibly in a challenging situation.

I'm trying to find where they get 'em, my plug don't have the connection

Searching for blessings or positive influences without success.

Must of switched the addresses, waiting but shit I'm restless

A sense of restlessness and impatience while waiting for change.

Fighting keep my best but I confess

Struggling to maintain composure, admitting vulnerability.

I think most of us got depression, something stay out to get us

Recognition of a prevalent societal issue—depression affecting many.

Either something in the food or the way that they taught us lessons

Speculation on potential causes of depression, including external influences.

Watching my sister stressing, praying that she don't get it

Witnessing a loved one's distress, hoping they avoid similar struggles.

Swear that I'd turn to god if I thought it would make a difference

Contemplation of turning to spirituality for solutions.

My options are getting slimmer, these problems keep getting bigger

Expressing a sense of feeling trapped as problems intensify.

I miss the feeling of home, it's like something I don't remember

Nostalgia for a sense of belonging, a home that feels distant.

Been like this since September, probably longer I figure

Long-term feelings of detachment, especially since September.

Just sick of feeling so cold I just hope it goes with the Winter

Frustration with emotional numbness, desiring warmth despite the cold.
