Critical Lyrics by Sam Tompkins

from my sleeve to the world

2019

[Chorus]
People are way too critical, like they can define my life
Like they've got the right, turning cynical
I wish I had a different mind with a clearer sight
This is typical of the modern times that we live inside
Where everybody speaks their mind
But what about mine?

[Verse 1]
Yeah, too many questions, nothing to say to you
The comment section is like a game to you
I've learnt some lessons, none of them came from you
It don't matter 'cause I've earned it
Soon they'll see that it's all worth it, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my distance
They're talking their shit but this is my art
Don't need permission
Everything I do, it comes from the heart
Do something different
Don't put an end before there's a start
It's not your business

[Chorus]
Oh my god, people are way too critical
Like they can define my life
Like they've got the right, turning cynical
I wish I had a different mind with a clearer sight
This is typical of the modern times that we live inside
Where everybody speaks their mind
But what about mine? (Yeah, yeah)
I wish everyone would stop being so critical
I wish I had a different mind with a clearer sight
This is typical of the modern times that we live inside
Where everybody speaks their mind
But what about mine?

[Verse 2]
I wish everyone would stop being so fake
People act up in the worst way
If you don't fuck with what I make
Why are you here in the first place?
But who are these snakes?
Slithering up into my space
Don't expect you to sing my praise
It's every day more of the same
Just comes with the game so

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my distance
They're talking their shit but this is my art
Don't need permission
Everything I do, it comes from the heart
Do something different
Don't put an end before there's a start
It's not your business

[Chorus]
Oh my god, people are way too critical
Like they can define my life
Like they've got the right, turning cynical
I wish I had a different mind with a clearer sight
This is typical of the modern times that we live inside
Where everybody speaks their mind
But what about mine? (Yeah, yeah)
I wish everyone would stop being so critical
I wish I had a different mind with a clearer sight
This is typical of the modern times that we live inside
Where everybody speaks their mind
But what about mine?

[Outro]
(I keep my distance)
(I keep my distance)
