Sly - Pause Lyrics

Life is a bitch
Put her in place and handle it
Dismantle this to my skeleton
Then you will see, insecurities embedded in me
From the loneliness, to the confidence
I express a smile to help the winter
It's the only way my organ won't become bitter
Co-dependency but independent
Transcendent but can't pay attention
I drank all the bottles till I puked out my sorrows
Opened my mind with highs to harmonize
Then I realized, I was just escaping my fate
I can't get back the years I wasted away
I'm tired I just wanna heal and build
Heart-attack bound cause I'm sitting still
Life gets real when you press pause
Look at your life for a second

And press pause, just press pause
Look at your life for a second
Press pause, just press pause

I can't hold a relationship, and I'm almost 30
No woman wants a man, who's life ain't sturdy
I know I found my soul-mates and my twin flame
But looking at it logically makes me switch lanes
I guess I won't be happy with anyone else
Until I get my heart to play show and tell
Cause looking at myself, I'm all mixed up
But I'll be ok, I care too much
Giving my soul in every bit of my songs
If you think I'm doing this for the money
Then you're wrong
I'm hungry for building a life, the best I can
Sometimes when I drive, I get stuck in the cul-de-sac man
I'm not the man, but I am a man
Learning my cards, while being the dealer
Throwing my darts, as a natural born healer
Being a charmed eagle, the overseer

And press pause, just press pause
Look at your life for a second
Press pause, just press pause

Loving yourself is a hard thing to do
Even if it feels like nobody wants you
You have to see your flaws and own it
You are not your mistakes, embrace and out grow it
Face the abyss that we try to run from
Your wings will grow back when you overcome
We all relate to pain, cause it feels the same
You can't blame the flame when it burns your veins
Shake that shit, keep your head up or walk on water
Either way place one foot behind the other
Keep it moving, after you look at your life
The past is gone, no matter how much you theorize
Earn from it, turn from it, learn from it, discern from it
When your head pulls that trigger
Eventually you get used to pulling out splinters
Straight eye contact, cause that spine got thicker
