mikelwj - look at me now lyrics

[verse one: mikelwj]
i’ve spent the last six years in a pit full of self pity
mood sh-tty, but saw myself as clever and witty
i barely made it through school, and never once was i cool
so honestly it feels like all i did was act as the fool
i’m kind of shocked i survived, but loved the look in their eyes
after i showed them my paycheck, and all my views on the rise
suddenly now i have friends, or a bunch of loose ends
but i don’t really give a f-ck because i’m glad i’m a trend
this fights been raging inside, between my heart and my pride
while i just switch from sad to manic, wishing one of them died
my egos starting to show, guess i allowed it to grow
but i’m a kid, and it’s still better than the times i feel low
i pick my friends out with care, no more than 5 or 6 pairs
and only those who think my time is as important as theirs
no one who brings my mood down, since i don’t need them around
and now i’m done playing the hero just to feel like a clown

[chorus: cryptic wisdom]
my sweet escape, all the wounds that i have made
are reminders of a time, a time in darker days
and now i can stand up proud
look at me now, i can stand up proud
look at me now

[verse two: mikelwj]
i’m seeing much better days, now fifty shades of these grays
and i would say it makes me happy, but i’m stuck in a daze
my mind is cluttered with thought, things that i thought i forgot
or things i tried to abandon to feel the feelings i sought
they say i only complain, and only mention my pain
but if i wasn’t doing this, i’d probably end up insane
but i found darkness is light, to those who walk without sight
simply looking for some help to see the end of the night
so i’ll remain in the dark, hold up my lighter and spark
since people come to me like moths when i speak from the heart
i found some beauty and peace, let serotonin increase
and i’ll be writing out these demons till they finally cease
who needs a shrink to be sane? i’m just another dumb name
on the list of all the people they’ll be seeing that day
i just need pills and a drink, to help me learn not to think
since if i keep that thinking up, i know i’ll end up extinct

[verse three: mikelwj]
my knees both buckled then broke, and i was lost in the smoke
i told myself it was a dream, but then i never awoke
and then the calm began to come when i heard angels that spoke
but now i’m looking at the scroll, and it’s just murder she wrote
i’m feeling lonely, that’s all, my run has slowed to a crawl
since i’ve been stuck on a tightrope, and i fear i might fall
my safety net has been cut, and so there’s fear in my gut
since if i fall, this will be my last attempt at the stunt
so i’ll change up my strut, to make my balance more perfect
since my goal is at the end, and i was told it was worth it
i’m hearing people that cheer, unlike my “friends” that all jeer
and when i’m ever feeling lost, i found they all disappear
so i found love on the shelf, said i’m deserving of help
and if they don’t want to give it, then i’ll just do it myself
i smiled slightly and laughed, i said the past is the past
it didn’t fix all of my problems, but it helped me relax

michael:
