mavenyx - old ways lyrics

i’m going back to these old ways
actually, the hours seem
to pass at speeds so great
that i can’t even pause it if
i tap the screen or hold sp+ce
i should be more positive
but that would mean the negatives
attract to me, them poor traits
laughably imagining the portraits that i don’t paint
wish that things were happening more casually
i think i’d like a slow pace
everything’s too rapid, leaping fast
and leaving no trace
whisper all my raps but read ’em
as if they were boldfaced
letters getting massive
i can’t breathe beneath the full weight
better let her ask if i should keep the secret more safe
oh, wait, she don’t even know it when i don’t say
all i do is sing it on my own stage
think about the solfege
do re mi++alone
fa so la ti++oh, great, here we go!
what, no, not me? okay, be it so
i’ll go promptly, gone, see? miracle!
that’s the way it plays inside my head sometimes
moments that i get with you
i’m desperate to memorize
and yet when we’re together, i
think about how weird you’d prolly think i’d be
to tell you that i like you, so i never try
that’s the fear i’ve known
since we were freshmen, ninth grade
and now we’re seniors, high stakes
i’m feeling camera shy
but you’ve been why i’m showing my face
and now i’m terrified it’s ruined
as i watch our lives change
but then again, not much to ruin when i let it slide
fading out to emptiness
i’m wasting all my precious time
if time’s a gem, then it’s a shame i never let it shine
i meant to send you this
but honestly, our texts are dry
and i don’t like the sandiness
like anakin, i said the line
don’t like the desert
it reminds me what i left behind
i’m mixing up my left and right
like panning, for the gold, i rush
and choke on dust
my goals are such that
i cannot incentivize myself to get ahead in life
i set my head inside my hands and just reflect on life
how did it get so bleak?
haven’t seen you physically in over 57 weeks
acting like there’s more than meets the eye
to when we ever speak
but if we’re in a google meet
your icon’s all i get to peak
i write so many side notes
it’s like i’m thinking in (parentheses)
and the fear is kicking in
i need a different way to handle things
but i still go back to my old ways
and i hope that it’s rekindling these old flames
