Where am I?
Feel like I'm wandering an empty plane.
No frame of reference.
No point of focus.
How can I,
Continue living on the same page?
Just buy a magic bag of
Some hocus pocus.
Now I ain't sayin'
That my life ain't worth the livin',
But I can't find no purpose
Outside money, drugs, and women.
I revel in the cadence
But it still can't find me pleasure.
This lack of significance
Got me lower than a tenor.
[Chorus]
Complacent,
I think these shallow waters in my nature.
Don't wanna,
Just end up washed up on the bay.
I'm wasted,
Feeling blanker than a piece of paper.
Erasers,
Come and took all I had away.
It's cold, like I'm standing on a mountain
But I'm on the sea floor.
I tried to swim up out it
But my aching bones are sore.
The failures I've encountered,
No, I really can't afford.
But until my career flounders
I'm sure I'll see many more.
I'm tryna find my way
Inside this rat (rat) race.
I won't accept my fate
And rest in last (last) place.
Ain't gonna watch 'em pass me
With a sad (sad) face,
Gotta swerve 'em, overtake 'em,
At a fast (fast) pace.
[Chorus]x2
