[Verse 1: Cole the Caryr]
Savagery
I paint tapestries, lyrically
Vanity'll damn near drive one to
Insanity - Perfection is not attainable
It's a way to escape the current
Reality, that you're living in
Sin is such a strange thing to think about
It should be common sense
To not do things that hurt yourself or others
But it isn't, I think it's because
We must experience pain and self-loathing
Until it pushes you to make a change
I'm just rambling...
Fumbling my words, War of the Worlds
Steady wondering... where I'll be in five years...
I'm pushing twenty-five and materially
Don't have much to show for it
I'm still making music for the love of it
If I have hopes of profiting from music
Does that make me insincere?
It's a question that I battle with
But deep down
I feel like I deserve whatever comes to me
Money, Love and Company
A lot of this doesn't rhyme, but honestly
I'm okay with that, because...
[Hook: Cole the Caryr]
It's me, it's me
I'm doing the best that I can
With what I have, it's...
It's me, it's me
I'm doing the best that I can
With what I have, it's...
[Verse 2: Cole the Caryr]
Travel through Time and Space
Wade, through the waters of your mind
Find a reason to be... spectacular
To be extraordinary
To be that person you look up to
That person you admire
Set yourself ablaze
And light the candles
Of all those
Who have burnt out
Who've endured too much pain and returned their flame
To those who haven't a hope
You can be that person
And that's okay if you're not
Or if you don't want to be...
Do you and do it honestly
I'm wandering around on this beat
Like a child who's lost in the store
But it might as well be the woods
Would someone mind finding me?
Divine timing sees to it
I'm using my Power instead of Force
And of course taking action
Planning in the lab
My direction is focused
I will make it happen, because...
[Hook: Cole the Caryr]
It's me, it's me
I'm doing the best that I can
With what I have, it's...
It's me, it's me
I'm doing the best that I can
With what I have, it's...
[Verse 3: Cole the Caryr]
Catering to those who love slow burns
I'm in the fast lane
Going about 35
It's hurting my
Ideals
A tough pill to swallow...
Attitude is everything, don't wallow
In sorrow, melancholy thoughts
Walking a tightrope
My choices aren't limited...
And I am not expendable...
Random occurrences
Don't surround me
I will make sense of the strange
With a smile on my face
Off-beat heartbeat
Starting, stopping
Landing, taking off
Handing a**istance my way
Hardly a pipe dream...
This isn't a song, it's a... journal entry
I have a full tank, my... heart's not empty
I can endure the drive
I will survive the drought
That's what life's all about
Learning to roll with the punches
And not crumbling
I'm fumbling... my words
Steady wondering... where I'll be in five years...
Because...
[Hook: Cole the Caryr]
It's me, it's me
I'm doing the best that I can
With what I have, it's...
It's me, it's me
I'm doing the best that I can
With what I have, it's...
