Ain't Right For Your Praise
Ain't Right: Navigating the Shadows of Self
Lyrics
Fake it
Faking it
Until you make it
Faking it until success is achieved
Cause there's a truth that you don't see
A hidden truth exists
Showing the fruit of the wrong tree
Experiencing consequences of making wrong choices
I'm solo so I can acknowledge I might be
Being alone to acknowledge personal struggles
Losing my mind in a way that I can't breathe
Feeling mentally overwhelmed
I'm feeling your love but it's hard to accept it
Difficulty accepting love
I wish I could tell you I need help with this shit
Wishing to seek help but finding it challenging
But that's it
Expressing resignation or acceptance
I'll forget for a night till I get it
Temporary escape from reality
For a moment again
Yearning for moments of peace
Baby
Addressing someone affectionately
I can be crazy
Admitting to moments of craziness
I'm trying my best to control it
Struggling to control emotions
Knowing these folks want to mole in
Awareness of external interference
Baby
Acknowledging self-induced craziness
I drive me crazy
Self-awareness of causing own distress
And I don't wanna act like it's ok
Refusing to pretend everything is okay
I got a lot woes that I'm stowing
Dealing with personal problems
Fallout, brought into motion
Consequences set in motion
Smoke clouds, I love your devotion
Appreciating someone's dedication
You're finding anyway just to see me
Efforts to connect with the speaker
Bringing up ways that we can meet
Suggesting ways to meet
I'm below, with no-goes, cause I know it's on me
Feeling low due to self-imposed restrictions
To make up my mind and just live with the bad dreams
Decision-making responsibility for bad dreams
Finding a way to detach all the cad strings
Seeking detachment from negative influences
You're subtle, yet vocal, and you got me asking
Noticing subtle but impactful communication
Can we keep this?
Questioning the possibility of maintaining a connection
Get tossed in this life till it makes sense
Desiring coherence in life
You're my moment again
Treasuring positive moments
Baby
Repeating acknowledgment of craziness
I can be crazy
Continued effort to control emotions
I'm trying my best to control it
Awareness of external interference persisting
Knowing these folks want to mole in
Reiterating self-induced craziness
Baby
Self-awareness of causing own distress persists
I drive me crazy
Refusing to pretend everything is okay persists
And I don't wanna act like it's ok
Dealing with personal problems continues
I got a lot woes that I'm stowing
Expressing emotional burden
Losing my way
Losing direction in life
But there's love I can take away
Finding solace in love
(I'm stowing)
Continued burden and struggle
Return all my chains
Seeking liberation from constraints
I'm unsure if it's safe, baby
Expressing uncertainty about safety
(I'm stowing)
Continued struggle with uncertainty
Hands on my waist
Physical intimacy accompanied by decay
But I'm feeling decay, lonely
Feeling lonely despite physical connection
Lonely
Emphasizing loneliness
Cause baby
Acknowledging unsuitability for praise
I ain't right for your praise anyway
Long-term solitude since birth
Solo since the day I was made
Reiterating unsuitability for praise
