Simpler days
Singing’ away, I would sit with a phrase
Back then, it was just a symbol a day
Now there’s so many, I just sign ‘em away, man
Is it permission that I need from myself
To be clear like the shelf that I needed
Full of potions
Mission to be free from myself
I can’t breathe ‘til I’m drownin’
I know that it’s some bullshit
I just need a sign
Make it clear and bright
Free me from this tide
I can’t trust my mind
I can barely hear myself callin’
I can barely hear myself

I miss the days
When everything was okay
Instead of feelin’ insane
My mind was clear as the rain
Not dirty blue like the ocean
Like I’m drownin’ in slow motion
Now every day
I always gets in my way
Negative thoughts in my brain
Got me tryin’ to escape
And always reachin’ for potions
Tryna control my emotions
Dirty blue, yeah

I’ve seen clearer days
But I felt the clearest after a cloudy one
I’ve made mistakes
A lot of ‘em
Found myself in the rain
My reflection in the gutter
Dirty blue puddles
72 dollars to my name
Buy a cake for my brothers
Take a break, get a bottle
Champagne, put my card
Put it all on
Think about it tomorrow
I got so much goin’ on
At the same time, nothin’ at all
Imma pick this up
I ain’t waitin’ on a call

I miss the days
When everything was okay
Instead of feelin’ insane
My mind was clear as the rain
Not dirty blue like the ocean
Like I’m drownin’ in slow motion
Now every day
I always gets in my way
Negative thoughts in my brain
Got me tryin’ to escape
And always reachin’ for potions
Tryna control my emotions
Dirty blue, yeah
