Lyrics
Lyrics:
A picture holds a million times and places
I seen many faces
I lost track of the basics
And all this time I thought I needed spacin
Well I needed Savin
I just couldn’t take it
When on my own I spent some time
Recalling memories of mine
I needed space to leave behind
All the little bit of worry in my life
But some things just had a hold on me
And when I knew I couldn’t leave
I sunk so deep I couldn’t breathe
I needed help
But there wasn’t anyone to tell
I was by myself
Driving on this highway to hell
And I made the call
Lookin at old pictures on the wall
I needed anyone
Anyone at all
But still I couldn’t fall
Nova Blisto:
Got a lot of problems playing on me on a heavy note
I’m so sick and tired of love songs on the radio
Ice box let me know that I don’t even need nobody else
I don’t need the energy my enemies already know
Leave all of this synergy no penalties I let it go
Don’t know what’s gotten into me like I don’t even care about health
Flat lines hold a lot of memories
A period would probably be the end of me
Thin ice never stops withering what happens when it melts?
Feeling like I’m a cluster of particles
Everybody know it everybody read the articles
I’m not me
Don’t even expect a Mario
With all of this rotisserie I’m just rolling with arsenal
And I don’t need help I’m fine
A little white lie wrapping my emotion blind
Going 91 in traffic I’m planning to crash this time
Notify the road I’m boutta pass that line
MTStreets:
When on my own I spent some time
Recalling memories of mine
I needed space to leave behind
All the little bit of worry in my life
But some things just had a hold on me
And when I knew I couldn’t leave
I sunk so deep I couldn’t breathe
I needed help
But there wasn’t anyone to tell
I was by myself
Driving on this highway to hell
And I made the call
Lookin at old pictures on the wall
I needed anyone
Anyone at all
But still I couldn’t fall
I needed help
But there wasn’t anyone to tell
I was by myself
Driving on this highway to hell
And I made the call
Lookin at old pictures on the wall
I needed anyone
Anyone at all
But still I couldn’t fall
