From the recording SCRIBBLED DREAMZ
Lyrics
IM LOOSING ME!
(Chorus)
I’m loosing me,
piece by piece,
in the static of the streets
Mind’s a battlefield,
I bleed in silence
where the shadows meet
They judge,
they point,
they laugh —
I fold, I freeze, I flee
But
I’m still here,
still breathing,
still fighting to reclaim
me!
Wake up,
same war,
different day,
same scars
on replay
Society’s a script
that tells you
how to act,
how to pray
Then they clip your wings
with whispers,
call it
“realistic” or
“safe”
So I
tuck my truth
in my pockets,
swallow my pride,
and change my face
Humiliation’s heavy,
like chains around your neck
Every
“you can’t”
is a brick,
they build a house
of shame with it
I spit back at them
ripping ceilings down,
with the pain i am feeling
right on their crowns
But the echo of their laughter
keeps me walking
head down!
I learned to smile on cue,
learned to hide the bruise
Learned to trade my colors
for a gray suit
that fits
their trends!
I’m loosing me,
piece by piece,
in the static of the streets
Mind’s a battlefield,
I bleed in silence
where the shadows meet
They judge,
they point,
they laugh —
I fold, I freeze, I flee
But
I’m still here,
still breathing,
still fighting to reclaim me
When the night gets loud
and the doubt
gets louder still
I count the breaths
between the beats
and bend it to my will
Not gone!
just buried under all the
I “should”
and I “will”
I’m clawing through the silence,
climbing up the hill
They taught me to be small,
to shrink until I fit the frame
To trade my thunder for a whisper,
hide the fire,
tame the flame
But greatness
ain’t polite,
it’s raw, it’s ugly,
it's a demon
You gotta wrestle
till they learn to say your name!
I’ve been a liar to myself,
told myself I’m fine
Kept the truth in the attic,
locked the door,
lost the key in time
But every night the attic
whispers,
saying.
I’m loosing me,
piece by piece,
in the static of the streets
Mind’s a battlefield,
I bleed in silence
where the shadows meet
They judge,
they point,
they laugh —
I fold, I freeze, I flee
But
I’m still here,
still breathing,
still fighting to reclaim me.
I’m finding me,
in the cracks
and in the seams
Mind’s a battlefield,
I’m learning how
to stitch up my broken dreams
They judge,
they point,
they laugh —
I fall,
I rise,
I see
I’m still here,
still breathing,
still fighting
to reclaim me!
