Crowded Places - Pushing & Pulling, Pastimes for her lyrics

“To consider the possibility that something might go wrong with our brains, or our minds, which in a sense are really, both, springing out of this organ called the brain, is very frightening to people. Because the mind represents ourselves, our fundamental core. And the thought that something could go wrong with that means were no longer who we are” [Verse 1: Crowded Places] Another broken day I look in the mirror Ashamed of what I see, I see my fear I see it overcoming me, surrounding me How I used to think, I no longer see What a prison is this love of d**h While I'm wishing I'm above the depths On no look at what I am Stuck with the soul of a normal man Honorary member of the club of the lost Things I used to love is now a hopeless cause I write my songs as an ode this sick state of mind And it's all mine I'm alive when I see the kind who display kindness But everyone around me is infected with blindness I'll stick my neck out for someone I love I'll be an open ear when times get rough But we all need this compa**ion So return the favor, that's all I'm asking What's more the people want it now But don't have the strength I'm calling out I wanna be the voice that they desire I wanna be the voice that makes a fire I wanna be something more Tip-toeing away from the allure [Hook: Crowded Places] They say you're too young To be talking like you lived more They say it too much But I can only hear a certain chord I only plan to live once But I ain't living if I live for myself I'm only here to one leg guilt And if it stares there standing Ima stop them stilts like I, I wanna know How you lie on your soul I hit it right on the nose So I know I never grow, let em go No time for new problems, you're so cold Inside it's so lawful that's why it's broke In time Ima solve them, let em know In time Ima solve them and let em go [Verse 2: Crowded Places] Let it all come back to me, and hit me rapidly I wanna feel inspired again, like when, I was a little kid I use to see the most vivid scenes in the midst of the trees The smallest things would inspire me Now I feel like to get the fuel I'm burning in my heat My own source of energy Days go to fast, I get nothing out of them Everyday I crash, and my mistakes blend I need a friend who can understand I feel unfulfilled because I have so many dreams lost in the seams I want to finish what needs done I have so much in me But it seems That from it I run like a bullet from a gun I peel off I feel off Where am who am I What do I define, how can I remind What can remind me to get my head aligned I hear the sounds of the music I create I gear my pounds like I'm gaining weight And sheer towns like I'm on a rampage I'm afraid to accept my age If only, the fire rose like it used to I want it back, I can't lose you [Hook: Crowded Places] I am your master now I am your master now [Verse 3: Crowded Places] You're the only thing that kept me sane Now I feel like things will never be the same I ignored my wife for a mistress and she took my home She came in with a smile, and the next day this fiend was gone Howling in my head is the fun we had Growling at my neck is evil, it's really sad I'm feeling bad, but I know where you live You're still in my heart I just gotta dig I gotta surround myself with impression I have to surround myself with a message That no matter what, nothing will stop me from feeling good I don't care what it is, but I know I should I'm going forward I can't stand this state of mind So now I'm only looking through this hindsight So I can learn never to think like this again So I write it all with a pen And confess it like the pads my friend Record it on a beat, never to be repeated again So if my state of mine ever trips up on me I'll play this song to remind me Whenever, I may think that Oh no look at what I am Stuck with the soul of a normal man
