Temporary Video (MV)

Why do we, try so hard to keep
What we've got , when we cannot
I give up my seat, on my throne
Just to watch you go

There's something funny about the radical truth
The way it spills from my lips to the fountain of youth
On this, I never wanted to speak
But these things in my mind, I would like to delete
If you give me some time, yeah

Everybody is just trying to live
I guess trying not to die is about as hard as it gets
Yeah, uh, but what's a life when the love is gone
Another cold night in my heart as it wanders on

And I find beauty in the sunrise
Reminds of a time when the stars used to shine in your eyes
But human nature is ugly
We kill each other over something as fragile as money

There's so many dreams and goals we may never get to
Some practice karate and some practice jiu jitsu
I happen to skip through, anybody who's trying to stop me
Cause that's what happens when the hardest of knocks hits you

Why do we, try so hard to keep
What we've got , when we cannot
I give up my seat, on my throne
Just to watch you go

I miss the days when mom told me I had a heart of gold
Now when I make music's the only time that I feel a pulse
I've been through more than you even probably wish to know
So I put the passion that I have up into every note

I'm getting iller with every bar that I'm crafting
Next time you take a look at the game I'll be the captain
Yeah, so this is my open letter
I pray that with time, my mental health will get better

I've been holding shit in for so long that was so toxic
Like a catholic confession these demons I'll be unboxing
If I ever pick up guitar you know that I'll be rocking
I made it this far in life so you know that I won't be stopping

No time soon, like a typhoon I'm hella wavy
If I ever meet Hayley or Megan B, we having babies
Just kidding, but shout out to those ladies, women
I adore you, so here's the question that I must implore you

Why do we, try so hard to keep
What we've got , when we cannot
I give up my seat, on my throne
Just to watch you go
