Little Cog Lyrics by Mavenyx

Acceptance

2021

[Verse 1]
Worried that they gon’ expose
My latent insecurities
All this shit I don’t condone
Self-hatred for impurities
I’m guilty — yeah, I’m sure to be
Broken bones, they’re breaking
With the words you speak
And sticks and stones
I make ‘em into burning heaps
They carry overtones and
Implications of the worst of me
Everything about myself I’d change
If I procured the means
Wish I was going home
To cradles and to nurseries
Now I feel the hole that’s grown
These craters in my memories
I’ve aged, and so they’re buried deep
Tryna look for gold
I ain’t uncovered any rarities
Wanna be the alpha wolf
I’m scaring sheep
I should go to therapy, like urgently
Let somebody know it when
I’m aching while the world’s deceived...
I tried to chase after the girl of dreams
Guess that was another goal
I didn’t deem it worth to keep
Looked into my horoscope
I don’t think I’m a social creature
But I guess I focus more on others’ needs
Born October 4th, so I’m a Libra
Yet I never cared for what it means
Why should shit I can’t control
Determine all my qualities (damn)
Yeah, I’m just tryna put it all at ease
Can’t because of all of these
Distractions that I call my deeds
Feel like they’re all laughing
But my life is not a comedy
Wanted to accommodate
But I don’t like the company
I get the sense that they’re all
Making fun of me, my lurid speech
When I get up on the stage
I’d rather take a turn and leave...
[Verse 2]
And, man, I hoped that
She’d want all of me
But I guess it’s unrealistic
Loving more than partially
Never could accept the facts
I looked into the processes
Wondering what killed the cat
They call it “curiosity”
I’m just tryna pave a path
I’m not afraid of following
Everything I say to that extent
They just cannot believe...
And so today is fucking Halloween
Come to think of it
I’m in a costume irregardlessly
That is not a word, just needed
Something that would start with “ee”
Lazy when I write
I tend to fill it up with falsities
It falls to me to fix it, but I fall asleep
Cautiously — optimistic
That the world is great
It’s just that I don’t see...
I never think about this consciously
Not until I spill my thoughts in verse
And let ‘em wander free
Constantly unlocking shit
I didn’t know was lodged beneath
Like Debrox when my ear’s clogged
And it’s hard to hear
Been an awful year
I hope that’s not how it’ll always be/B
But my hope is few and far between
And now it’s lost at sea/C, shit
Like it was drifting down a water stream
I’ve been holding onto secrets
But no one’s onto me
Crashing, onomatopoeic
Except without a peep
Yeah, there’s no one there to see it
I’m like a fallen tree, moving silently
So when my knees hit the ground
Nobody watched the scene
I just spin my wheels
Little cog in the large machine
