[Verse 1: Mays]
Man in the flesh
Boi in my heart
Put conviction to the test
When this life get hard
Paralysis had me locked up in my bedroom
Paralysis had me thinking i was dead too
The rest the world, that pretty girl, you know the story
No hero's journey, i won't tell you that i rose to glory
Out the gurney at the brink i think that sh** is corny
Cordially i tell you, you invited to this recording
Five o'clock in the morning, mourning the night time
Don't waste your whole life, waiting for the right time
[Hook: Mays, Merhawi Tecle, and Ian McKee]
Let the voices fade
All the choices made you, (x2)
I dream of paradise
Mind stuck in paradigms (x2)
[Verse 2: Mays]
Aspiration on adderall, attitude on nzt
You go and have withdrawals, question everything
Don't believe everything you think, don't conceal things that you feel
Don't sit still all day, tryna find out what is real
Reel me in I'm too close to the edge
Can't see the demons inside my head
Invisible infrared, never wanna feel this again
I know I will it's destiny
Strapped up with the wrong weaponry
Less self pity more empathy
Won't love myself till I feel you bleed
Believe in something higher
Check desire at the door
Find yourself some fire
Somewhere deep inside your core
I'm bored by all the benzes you can't bribe me with a porsche
So pull off all your clothes and lie naked on the floor
Now slowly rise to your feet, tell me what you stand for?
What you stand for?
[Hook: Mays, Merhawi Tecle, and Ian McKee]
Let the voices fade
All the choices made you, (x2)
I dream of paradise
Mind stuck in paradigms (x2)
[Verse 3: Mays]
f** a paradigm and a paradox
Paired up with no cares I won't spare a lock
Wear a box on your head like you scared of thought
Pop the top off your dome then take straight shots like blah
[Hook]
