[Hook]
And I've been going through hell;
Caught in a vicious spell
Blinded by the lies, crossed course, stumbled and fell
I'm feeling so alone, I think I'm bout to explode
System overload!
[Verse 1: MikelWJ]
I may be a rat, but I've got wings so I can fly
I may have been sad, but I'm too young to die
These people look at me with hateful looks in their eyes
So I'm looking for love, but their telling me lies
I never thought I'd be compared to the people I idolize
But numbers added up and I'm starting to realize
I've been staring at the embers of a half smoked cigarette
Learning how to understand the things I can't forget
And I'm so done with the rain, second wind in the game
I learned breaking down walls will protect you from pain
I leaned working my a** off will build me a name
I learned having a heart means always feeling the same
And the black clouds fade, come with much better days
I'm trying positive thoughts to outweigh negative praise
I built my landmarks with wood, now there hard as cement
So you can paint me straight gold, I'm done being a silhouette

[Verse 2: MikelWJ]
Ever since it dropped, my fans call themselves outcasts
Broken people with tattered homes and bitter pasts
Black hoodies, clear masks, Blue jeans and picked last
Bullied by the others while their changing in gym cla**
Damn, I'm talking all heartbreaks and headstones
Pigeon songs to help these outcasts stay strong
Cute looks to have these girls call my cell phone
Since my biggest fear was always ending up alone
I made a promise to a friend saying she'd have a crown
It's seems whenever I'm up, she always seems to be down
So I walk to her house just to give her some ground
Then I crashed on her couch, which is where I was found
Saying extra extra read all about it
Outcast kids the product of modern gossip
My FATE couldn't stop it, people said that I lost it
But now I'm feeling bigger than the profits, I call this, luck
[Hook]
[Verse 3: MikelWJ]
Just give me a Blanket I can sleep on the couch [x2]
I said, Just give me a blanket, I can sleep on the couch
The only place that I crash when I'm out and about
Because these feelings are loud, and I'm just sitting around
And being in an empty bed will start to tear me down
My hearts a dead weight that's confused of its job
I've been losing a lot, since I've been looking at God
But I've been picking up flaws, in his words and his laws
So I guess it's very clear that his search kept me lost
It's this whole battle within me that's just been k**ing me softly
It's my desire to leave, but knowing leaving won't help me
It's my bloodstream with coffee that holds the price of this robbery
So I guess it's time I live like nobody was watching
[Hook]
