imp (@theuncannyimp) - imperfections lyrics

[verse 1]
i thought i was marauding a muse i manifested in my dreams
i misstep, i stumble, fumble my esteem
faces pass on this narrow path, ones i’ve known or forgot?
seek fast for a clearer path, the sky i had lost
i can’t flip over my hourglass, too impotent to play god
can i become strong? doubtful, ultimately not too sure
i’d confide in you my fears and hope you’d suggest a way to end them
but you’d sulk and scowl back at me as if you were a victim
sins don’t dissipate because you’ve simply sobbed under pressures
shoulders bare the weight and stiffly endure on forever
what am i expecting? i’ve loitered in a labyrinth
with no egress, i always eschewed ploys to craft an exit
now i excavate for meaning, my rhyme book once blank
now infused pain and growth on the lines of the pages
my ego i abstain from, my own biases dazzle me
what do i want to escape from? i believe it’s my reality

[chorus]
i’m
imperfect
unworthy

[verse 2]
i’ve got anxiety and anger issues, my apologies for acrimony
roam the corridors of my mind, can’t hold peace when i don’t know me
it’s hard to look in the mirror and see a face that isn’t your self
avoiding vulnerabilities is bad for your health
traumas aren’t transitory because you trivialize them
tendons tote tormenting thoughts tantamount to terrors at night when
you’re awaiting savior? i’ve spent ten thousand hours patient
and to keep expecting a hero is another ten thousand wasted
too long i’ve walked without aim or purpose
your voice echoing in my head is one painful burden
undermining me, thought my word and my name was worthless
what is it holding me back from moving these days? uncertain
if it’s pride or fear? i hide behind a plunder of brags
and still dread the haunts the residing under my naps
troubles of the world stay wreakin’ my sleep quick
can’t spit it all in a verse let alone think when
(sixteen ain’t enough) and consequences constantly bother me
addiction coping mechanisms as my thoughts proceed
despondent, exhausted armories, my enthusiasm often ceased
panic attacks, hastensed pace, clutching my heart, can’t stop the beat
sequelae invalidated, expression makes me deformity
perhaps the others learned the same and believed it wholeheartedly
under pressure, diamonds in the rough, learning that i am enough
be a slave or slay your masters when it gets hard to breathe, i’m tired of feeling
[verse 3]
once upon a time i could once fly
… and now i walk upon the ground just like plain folks
under the clouds no raincoat, is this how i repent?
crawled for miles no scapegoat or alibis to present
once would’ve ridden the wind, but now the draught drives me
elements don’t merely subsist, they staunchly chastise me
i wish i could end all of my problems with a regular pill
nix the thought, there ain’t no way to respectfully quit
so riddle me this: am i sworn to protect a world that hates and fears me?
clearly not, it can smear me all it wants
i ain’t living for you until i’m merely rot
i’m looking for the real me, i’m on to clearer skies that i’ve sought
thought i was marauding a muse i manifested in my dreams
i misstep, i’ve stumbled, traded apprehension for esteem
faces pass on this narrow path, ones i’ve known or forgot?
regardless, i fight for my resolve, learn to carry on, i’m okay with being++
