[INTRO: Cody Pope]
I’d give my life so Domenic could have his
Or for Caleb, to be able, to hold his kids
I’d give my breathing, for more of Sam’s teaching
Or trade places with Tony so his family he be reaching
Shave off some years for a conversation with Elroy
Acquire some gems before I’m off fighting like Hellboy
Give many moons for the older me speak with Rosalie
Just let her teach me how beautiful any rose can be
[Chorus]
Don’t need your flowers, I’m only needing your soul
Days I’m alive oftеn feel like a bleeding hole
Every day a stеp away from beating my fleeting goals
Only shine I got is when I wake up peeing gold
I’m being told that I need to adjust perspective
If this is what I want from life what the fuck is elective?
Don’t need a deal, I just need my thoughts collected
Just a point in life where I need course correction
[Verse 1: Cody Pope]
Yo it’s hard to look past, at the times I was an ass
All the chances that I wasted, know I’m never going back
So many people that I’ve known, always kept their love shown
While I kept mine hidden, afraid of what had grown
So many friends that have died, often held back when cried
Said I’m okay but lied, my brain just fried
Guilt all in my spine, feel it all the time
Things that I said, thought, or did with my time
Women I could have been nicer too, and friends I could have reached out more
Confidence I should have worked on instead of rage and outpour
Hard to think coulda woulda shoulda but that’s on my thoughts more
Each day see the world move and I wonder why i’ve Not more
Understand the value of living just not my own life
Took too long to see the things that affected my own price
Waited to start growing up after wasting all of this growing love
Waited to say what I love to many once they stopped showing up
[Chorus]
Don’t need your flowers, I’m only needing your soul
Days I’m alive often feel like a bleeding hole
Every day a step away from beating my fleeting goals
Only shine I got is when I wake up peeing gold
I’m being told that I need to adjust perspective
If this is what I want from life what the fuck is elective?
Don’t need a deal, I just need my thoughts collected
Just a point in life where I need course correction
[Verse 2: Cody Pope]
Hard to explain the way I perceive contributions
People with problems or people seeking solutions
Hard to explain the ways I learned accountability
So now my guilt complex is triple stitched and killing me
Don’t get me wrong, now I’m grateful I came and was here
But I think we overpopulated so I’m done here
Just seeking exit, safe calm and hope peaceful
Make way for the new generations to be full
There’s many I’ve known who loved life and yet lost it
Somehow I’ve kept mine even after tried and tossed it
Wish I could sacrifice myself for some those loving people
Rid Earth of me, my negativity and all my evil
Wanna do good and see a different way of thinking
But everyday that I’m awake my mentality sinking
Life on earth not peaceful as people make it look
Can't think straight, no matter how hard I take a look
[Chorus]
Don’t need your flowers, I’m only needing your soul
Days I’m alive often feel like a bleeding hole
Every day a step away from beating my fleeting goals
Only shine I got is when I wake up peeing gold
I’m being told that I need to adjust perspective
If this is what I want from life what the fuck is elective?
Don’t need a deal, I just need my thoughts collected
Just a point in life where I need course correction
