amity - let go lyrics

i’m starting to lose sight of the vision i once had/
swinging with two strikes, no longer an undergrad/
look up at a blue sky but hearing that thunderclap/
instead of a new light i saw it not coming back/
could it be just a blessing in disguise?
drop out and fail twice to be left to my devices/
or maybe i just can’t do anything right/
and getting by isn’t enough to set me up for life/
i can’t quit ‘cause this is all i do/
but i can’t help feeling like i’m falling through/
the cracks, bending over backwards to call a truce/
i had the drive but i’ve hit a wall or two/
of course, it’s true, i’ve always been my harshest critic/
the bars i’m spitting were drafted and craftily written/
but i know half the listeners won’t notice/
and my palms are itching for recognition but i can’t admit it

i’ve tried my best and yet no/
one wants to hear me inside their headphones/
it’s like my life is spent on death row/
waiting for my time to finally let go

succeed or secede just so seeds of doubt/
in my mind sprout into vines and keep me out/
my head is a jungle but the leaves are brown/
and trees surround but the stream’s in a season drought/
it’s like “hey dylan, how’s the music coming along?”/
or “you sound dope, maybe we should jump on a song/
we can head straight to the studio and puff on a bong/
it’ll be a smash hit”, maybe something is wrong with me/
i told my folks i’d be signed by 25/
in the hottest 100, playing live like every night/
touring the country, make my rhymes an enterprise/
but it’s bittersweet like a burnt slice of cherry pie/
‘cause i’m 25 this year and assorted nonsense/
cost me eight grand for a poor response/
and in the first week i sold forty copies/
but then it stopped, i’m scared to perform, i’ve lost it
i’ve tried my best and yet no/
one wants to hear me inside their headphones/
it’s like my life is spent on death row/
waiting for my time to finally let go

do you have any idea of the determination/
it takes to deter the shame and the shakes?
exterminate the distaste and defer to changing your ways/
reword the hate and rephrase every term of blatant disgrace?
we make the mistake of inferring greatness is fate/
while the world awaits your replacement, you work to pay for your wake/
your turn is taken, the blades of your shoulders cave with the weight/
of the burden, maybe it’s safer to burn away than decay/
fight or flight has got me looking for the baggage drop/
‘cause there’s just too much luggage for me to carry on/
so i’m shedding the weight, label me a vagabond/
i started at the bottom but i want to be the paragon/
so f+ck it, this is the last ‘last time’/
no more weak beats and half+assed rhymes/
no more deep sleep, you can’t ask why/
i’m trying to reach dreams that shan’t pass by

i’ve tried my best and yet no/
one wants to hear me inside their headphones/
it’s like my life is spent on death row/
waiting for my time to finally let go
