When Lyrics by Legible

Deep Rest EP

2019

(Verse 1)
Another day, another lost hope- Well oh well
I’m on the ropes and- sadly, depression sells
They cheer the loudest once you kick the pail
Sometimes I think about stepping out in front of a car when I get the mail
It’s just a matter of when I will
Do I dare take all these benadryl?
This barren waste that I’m in just feels like an Earthquake at a carnival, I wasn’t given a fair shake- get the Richter scale
I wear gray when I’m in my feels
Can’t stand the taste of this bitter pill
Sometimes I just wanna hit the rail when I’m drivin’
Radio up to fill the silence
It irritates me admitting that I tend to feel so violent
I express it when I’m writing but in person I tend to hide it
I stare straight like I never feel the bare pain in my head but
(Hook)
I’ve been thinking lately ‘bout cashing out on Benz
Taking one cruise then steering it off a ledge
Maybe I'll be looked up to as it all comes to an end
Not a matter of how it's all a matter of when
Why take all the pain?-
Maybe there’s a way out of this mess pent up in my head
Maybe I'll be looked up to as it all comes to an end
Not a matter of how it's all a matter of when
(Verse 2)
Never been able to let go of the past
Rope is attached to memories of little things that were trivial yet they all formed every habit
Controllin’ reactions has made me so cold so I have to start holdin ‘ it back
My moment has passed cause The only time I show emotion is in rap
When I’m done with it all I just wanna rest deep
Have my final goodbyes with the inspirations that left me
I gotta be thankful for one good album, it was a blessing
But I’ve hit a wall with writing, I was overcome with envy
I hate when I like a song and I sing it back
Always ask myself again and again: “Why didn’t I think of that?”
With this mentality legible is always gonna be in last
Yet every time I change it, my music ends up being trash
Guess I’m belligerent, why is my best always when I am dissin?
I think all my silent aggressions are spillin’ with every written
If you wanna know every fear that I have then you better just shut up and listen
I know that I always sound good as long as I’m pessimistic
As long as I’m depressed you’ll listen
Or I could go real fast and say nothing trying to kill a beat
Then sell that heat for 10 a piece. When will I stop? By 23? Is that too young? Is my pen unique? Are there any original melodies? Tell me is anyone listening?
Rap is my only escape but just like nicotine it’s Killing me
One word to describe where I‘m at?
Frustrated. I know what change will fix things but I’m not man enough to make it
Run away with nothing after all my work- I’m breaking down
One final album: “I’mPerfect” guess I better make it count
(Hook)
I’ve been thinking lately ‘bout cashing out on Benz
Taking one cruise then steering it off a ledge
Maybe I'll be looked up to as it all comes to an end
Not a matter of how it's all a matter of when
Why take all the pain?-
Maybe there’s a way out of this mess pent up in my head
Maybe I'll be looked up to as it all comes to an end
Not a matter of how it's all a matter of when
