lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am like the most bent nigga in this mental prison
I'm only gonna say this once so just shut up and listen
This place isn't safe so snap back into reality
Too late motherfucker, now you're trapped inside this fantasy
So I welcome you to this euphoria, but don't enjoy it
Cause you will start to see the real world as a disappointment
And you'd do anything to make this fantasy come true
But reality kicks in and that's something you cannot do
I bet you'd love to live this life, oh so imaginary
Don't speak of these adventures dog, or I'm telling the fairies
Just keep it a secret, simply seal it and lock it up
And if you speak of it just once your social life is fucked
Your friends will think you're crazy your parents will think the same
It's not something you have control of or you can explain
This ain't no acid trip, you're not on 'caine or heroine
You're simply on a little adventure inside my mind

[Verse 2]
Mentally, I'm dying
I don't know why I keep trying
If I told you I was happy, then I'd easily be lying
Everything's underwhelming
And nothing I do is helping
I shouldn't even be thinking like this dog, I'm only a teen
So what does that mean? A teenager can't have feelings?
Are we not equal because we don't have to work for a living?
Cause we don't pay bills, and we're still dependent on our parents?
Those aren't valid reasons to make us feel so transparent
It's not hard to understand adults cause they're all the same
Subconsciously they envy how advanced our gen became
Until I'm older, I won't be taken as serious
So I stay trapped in my mind while they call me delirious

[Verse 3]
I want it all but the problem is I'm way too lazy
My heart tried to tell me but my mind said that's crazy
My mind is my escape from all of my world problems
Instead of facing them, I guess that means I'm a coward awesome
But fuck it, I know everything will get better in time
Just gotta stop waiting for shit and actually try
Continue to ignore all of the negativity
And that's from everybody sending it, including me
No more complaining, it's time to start working on myself
Develop some new habits because my health is my wealth
And when I'm down, just pick up the pen and start writing rhymes
Bring out the thoughts instead of trapping them inside my mind

[Outro]
Said everything will be fine

about

Arkh Zeus Everett, Massachusetts

Between the several albums packaged with many layers of emotions and eccentricity, Zeus has proven himself to be an artist who will stay true to his core ideas — while still being ready to push the envelope that may fly even higher than his metaphorical BUTTERFLIES. Being only 24, it’s safe to say he’s got time. ... more
