let me be - KMurdock Music Group
Wake up, same haze, same routine
Flickering scenes, play on the in-between
Can't cash in on the cards I'm dealt
Still trying to find a way to trust myself
Every single step feels heavy, offbeat
Like the finish line got torn from the street
They say keep grinding, it'll pay some day
But I'm running low on faith in the game they play
And who the fuck is they anyway?
And people, they move in silence
Twist the truth with quiet violence
It's a trip how they feign affection
Just to kill another good connection
Sorry if I'm too much to take
Balancing the peace and the rules I break
Wanna love that lets me breathe
Not a cage constructed from your empathy
Sorry if I'm dreaming wide
Craving freedom with no divide
Give me space but let me be
That's my truth, you don't have to love all of me
One or two times thought I found the fit
But the wiring was wrong, had to call it quits
They talk a good game till the pressure's on
Then they're just a memory before the dawn
Left on read, feeling second-guessed
Another failed project, another acid test
I'm tired of the replays, the cinematic lies
Tired of the kindness I see in their eyes
That only seems to last until the interest dies
And people, they switch positions
Sell you out for new additions
I'm not built to be your savior
Or to fix your bad behavior
Sorry if I'm too much to take
Balancing the peace and the rules I break
Wanna love that lets me breathe
Not a cage constructed from your empathy
Sorry if I'm dreaming wide
Craving freedom with no divide
Give me space but let me be
That's my truth, you don't have to love all of me
Age you with the why you so intense
Make you think your feelings don't make any sense
They want the version that's easy to hold
A pretty little story that's already been told
But my edges are sharp and my history's deep
Got a lot of locked doors where the promise sleeps
So don't ask for a map if you're scared of the dark
I'm not some public garden, I'm a private park
A closed-off attraction, a difficult art
Success is a drug that makes you its slave
And I'd rather go broke than perform on their stage
Gonna build my own world from the muscle and bone
Not renting my worth for a counterfeit throne
Sorry if I'm too much to take
Balancing the peace and the rules I break
Wanna love that lets me breathe
Not a cage constructed from your empathy
Sorry if I'm dreaming wide
Craving freedom with no divide
Give me space but let me be
That's my truth, you don't have to love all of me
Give me air now, let me be, yeah
Not a product, I'm just me
Keep your script, I hold the key, yeah
Give me air now, let me be
