Lyrics

Now only time is looming

Expressing the imminent presence of time.

I know my life consuming

Acknowledging the consumption of one's life.

All of these thoughts of booming

Reflecting on impactful thoughts and experiences.

Just know I'm only human

Asserting human vulnerability.

Trouble to sleep at night but please know that it's a-okay

Struggling with sleep issues but reassuring that it's acceptable.

I'd rather stay today in bed to lay and waste away

Expressing a desire to stay in bed and waste time.

Want me to leave tomorrow say it straight up to my face

Open to direct communication about leaving or staying.

I think you're losing grace somewhat described a rapid pace

Perceiving a decline in someone's grace at a rapid pace.

This game of life I think the doc prescribed me purgatory

Comparing life to a game and feeling stuck in purgatory.

Some getting fame and glory, some getting blood and gory

Observing varied outcomes in life, including fame and gore.

But what's to come of the unwritten fate of Benny's story?

Pondering the unknown future of Benny's life story.

I place the choice inside your hands, you call it old and boring

Granting others the power to decide, perhaps dismissing it as boring.

I think I need to find a home where I can grow some

Expressing a need for a nurturing environment to grow.

Your petty children smoking rocks with your gross, um

Criticizing irresponsible behavior of others and drug use.

You think you know something

Questioning others' knowledge and understanding.

Watching your thoughts dissolve

Reflecting on the dissolution of thoughts.

Highest before the fall

Noting a peak before a downfall.

A faux life, all in all

Describing life as artificial or deceptive.

Who are you?

Posing an existential question about identity.

And who are we?

Extending the existential question to a collective "we."

And where we're going

Highlighting the mystery of the future and destination.

Is just a mystery

Conveying uncertainty about the future.

I got 15 pages with your face in it

Referencing a substantial document featuring someone's face.

Even if I catch a case, I'm in the eighth inning

Confidently facing challenges, possibly legal.

Ever since I left that base, I just stay winning

Enjoying continued success since leaving a certain situation.

And when the sun falls, I just stay sinning

Engaging in sinful behavior when the sun sets.

Just another bright day on the Ritalin

Describing a day with the use of Ritalin, a medication.

I don't like smoking, I'm just numbing pain

Expressing a dislike for smoking as a coping mechanism.

Cocaine in my right membrane, I said

Admitting to using cocaine for pain relief.

Mother fuckers making me go insane

Feeling driven to insanity by external factors.

I'm a flight risk, just a heavy buyer

Identifying as a potential risk for fleeing situations.

My supplier getting caught through the copper wire

Acknowledging the risk of the supplier getting caught.

I've been taking more but I ain't been getting higher

Using substances without achieving the desired high.

Watch me start the fire

Symbolically starting a figurative fire or chaos.

Let it slowly burn

Allowing a gradual and intentional transformation or destruction.

Turn that shit into my homie

Turning challenges into a close companion.

Ash inside the urn

Referencing ashes in an urn, possibly symbolizing consequences.
