found a beat and was inspired.
Lyrics
I used to think I was incapable of failure
But here’s the truth lemme just tell ya
As I keep aging, my soul’s just been raging
Tired from engaging in the lie I’ve been staging
All the missed opportunities come back to haunt me
Laughing in my face, all they do is taunt me
I lived without a goal, just dug a little hole
And now my fucking life is outta my control
All the hours spent at school, for a better education?
I got straight A”s, yo cuz I’m fucking Asian
But I don’t give a fuck cuz that don’t mean shit
What the hell do I have to show for it
If I could live again, I wouldn’t do this shit twice
Cuz striving for perfection has its fucking price
I need to forget about the dreams that I chased
They must be replaced, a new path embraced
This whole life I wasted just to taste
The tears of my failures, of hope erased
The demons inside me mock my resistance
Man this ain’t a song, it’s a cry for assistance
See me through the maze I am traveling
Cuz I feel myself just unraveling
But I wont give up, not til the bitter end
My soul I’ll defend, til I find myself again.
