Lyrics

[Hook] [?] [Verse] I'm so tired of hiding that I'm dying inside I'm steady holding back tears in a country that's blind In a country that's black, but we don't talk about that I nearly took my own life and turned it into a stat But you don't wanna, talk about my trauma Talk about my dad being flora and fauna Talk about the fact that you benefit from our suffering Talk about the fact I never lived on my country I'm disconnected, but you ain't affected On the day to day so you ain't ever learnt the message Well this shit is desperate I had a family who loved me with a clean bill of health Twenty years down under I wanted to kill myself And I still do, from time to time It brings me comfort, it calms my mind When I was young I didn't realise I had a disease I figured it was normal to want to be at peace And I found it, when I crossed the street Close my eyes, cross my fingers Hope a truck kill me, hope that I could be free From all this hurt You only stand with me on top of six feet of dirt I want what you want I swear we all the same I don't want to live my life digging my own grave I don't want to explain, why this shit ain't okay I don't want to see the same cycle happen again I don't want to hold my children while they shake me in pain Bring them into the world and tell them that it's okay Do I lie to they face? What the fuck do I say? When the same [?] every pain make me wanna blow my brain Same pain make my dad an alcoholic His dad had the same fate this shit is hard to stomach But you watch it, as long as you profit You've forgotten We the skeletons that you hanging from your closet [Hook] For the moments that I'm not there Know that you are here, always with me [?] [Verse] My dad called and he gave me his wisdom He said son, I can see you're dealing with symptoms I see your pain, I felt the same If you want real change you gotta play the long game There's no easy fix, this shit is all-consuming I know you're overwhelmed, I know this shit's confusing I know that you're troubled and don't know what to do The simple answer is we're all human So understand why you want this change If you don't ask why you might be here today But your motivation fades if you ain't got no stake in it Seeing this through cause this is gonna take much Longer than a second, Longer than a minute We might only lay the groundwork our children finish You won't fix what you don't understand Man created this problem, the solution's in your head
