Gnedds & Brian Richard Griffin - Thoughts Lyrics

What's up?
Nothing much, dude
How you doing?
Been better, I've just been dealing with some stuff
Yeah? What's on your mind?

Uh, I don't know what you got me on
But I'm feeling this feeling is something that I need free of
The tension between who you are and who I wanna be
Look at me, I'm doing me and I've got peace
But it makes me anxious, feeling like I hate this
When you call me up, I feel I can't break it off
'Cause I don't know what I want
And the last thing that I know I want to be is wrong
Or how I even wanna leave this?
'Cause my soul can't let this fall to pieces
Is it just me? Why are my friends detached?
Do they know what's best? Telling me to relax (Just relax)
Time and time again, I know you'll do the same thing
The gosh dang same situation
My friends all know what I'm facing - do you?
So why do I stress when I know my God is reigning?

Observe the real as I'm speaking
See the truth like I'm peeking
No offense but your defense
Holds your ground like your offense
Friends of mine started fiending
Since then I've been peacefully seeking
How to slay the demons who've been interested in my own schemes
To defeat me, keep me closed like a book I have a story to tell
Pages in my journal show the world of my well-being
Soon enough they fleeing
Open words of Christ and see Anti running away
Just like I prayed one day will be the last
Cut it short, deplete the four
Beings of sinful nature
Cut them down just like Johnny
The money keeps good men away from freedom one day

But they don't see the price they pay for ties that rot and then fade
They keep expanding but soon enough the damage will stay
Yeah, soon enough the people that lay lifeless
From the hand wrapped around the blade will stay
Your memories keep you up at night
Can't handle the hate
Purpose fading to gray
It's driving you crazy, but they can't see it
Made yourself who you are but don't want to be it
We were so close but cut the ties, toxic breath in my lungs
Want me to breathe in
