selfish Lyrics by syrespite

REBIRTH, Vol. 1

2025

[Intro: Niyaz]
About time

[Verse 1: sy]
Writin' with tears, giving the spark to the pen
Been so long that I've distant from my heart, my friend
A couple of years had me thinking I'll meet my end
Drug withdrawals, similes & metaphors, and such attempts
Honestly, it's difficult to see if I'm the one
Even if I got solidified goals and all
It's not even about the rights and wrongs
I'm trying to get my soul, where I'd belong
Mhm, so I'm praying to dear God
I've been so emotionally numb, and he replied:
"You're forcing yourself to get it on
'Cause you haven't processed yourself, too many times you'vе lied
So what are you so afraid of?"

[Chorus: sy]
You're disappеaring to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?
You're disappearing to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?
You're disappearing to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?
You're disappearing to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?

[Verse 2: sy]
Rikou, you are my daughter
I'm willing to spend time wit' you, as father
But it's much more than that, my love
Right now, I'm just unable to give my all
What am I so afraid of?
I fear myself and I've been clearly unsure
But I'm the truth in my life, as it's not pure
Truth consist the harsh and soft realities, delivered raw
Get through it, because I'm rather sure that you can-

[Chorus: sy]
You're disappearing to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?
You're disappearing to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?
You're disappearing to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?
You're disappearing to better yourself
So, how are you selfish?

[Verse 3: sy]
Uh, and it's rather me to be honest
Workin' myself as I promise, no longer can be toxic
As I passed old chronics but I still vomit
'Cause I never taught myself love, couldn't despoit
But thank God that I've conveyed such logic
The shit I had to go through; lessons too
And I'm glad I've helped you, if only if you ever knew
How much it helped me, it wasn't out the blue
Taught me relationships, lies and the truths
And therapy experiences, something that I'd pursue
Something-, that's something so true
What hurts more is memories cannot be made more
But I'm glad that I can honor them in my heart
It's 'cause of you, it shined light to my goals and all
To help the bigger audience, to not fall-
And thank you, for making me realize
That times can be dimmed, but still shine
Sorry, for not saving the world but mines'
And lastly, thank you for my daughter and my wife
It's 'cause of you, I've built back my life
