[Intro]
You can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest
[Verse 1]
They want me to talk about how I've been feeling
If I'm being real, the very idea of dealing with it is unappealing
I should be healing, I'm asleep at the wheel
And it's being revealed that I need to be peeled off of the ceiling
I've been concealing my pain, my ego has been stealing my reign
Missing out on sunshine cause I spend time fearing the rain
No energy to exercise, but plenty to complain
Penny for my thoughts? Hell, for a penny you can have my brain
Seriously, take it, I don't want it, it's a burden
It's Tyler Durden, so loud in here that you can't even get a word in
And catawampus is an understatement
The voices in my head should be brought up on noise abatement
There's no debatin' it, and hatin' it's a waste
Just waitin' to take a taste
Eatin' beats, that's why I'm inflated at the waist
My savin' grace is savin' face by makin' haste
This pace of the rat race is dumber than eatin' paste
[Hook]
See I've been looking for the antidote
All I ever seem to find is an amusing anecdote
I've been feeling manic, that's not a reason to panic though
Everything I wrote is considered a promissory note
I swear to always do the best that I can
To be who I am, to be a good man
For my family and I miss you
But you'll always be a part of my character
Nothing will ever take that away
[Verse 2]
I'm floatin' motionlessly through an emotional ocean
I got a notion if you've got the appropriate potion
I put the "pro" in promotion, I put the "loco" in locomotion
Causin' a catastrophic commotion
I'm pessimistic, I get bitchy and go ballistic
Artistic and narcissistic, socially sadistic
Exhibitionistic, ever egotistic, a methodical mystic
Searchin' for my purpose, nerdy absurdist
I'm curious and courteous, I'm at your service
King of the circus, impervious to nervousness, an introverted extrovert
With a furtive assertiveness, a furious wordsmith on the verge of collapse
Without rap, all of my ideology would be under wraps
I stay shootin' the gaps, and perhaps my work pays off
Till then, I'mma keep on bucklin' down, it's no days off
[Hook]

For my family and I miss you
But you'll always be a part of my character
Nothing will ever take that away
[Verse 3]
I think I've faced by greatest fears
I've spent almost a year just tryin' to dry my mother's tears
Took a radical risk in redefining my career
I know my father would be proud of me if he were here
But I'm hardly in the clear, lots of queries to address
Theories to test, my aggressiveness is repressed
And I'm chronically depressed, keep it close to my chest
I'm supposed to express, but the goats never rest
I owe my success to stress and opportunity, credit all the rest to the beautiful community
Man I'm feeling blessed, I'm invested in the unity
Workin' my way up to diplomatic immunity
A shoo-in soon to be fumin', I've been consumin' the crewman
I've been assuming the humans and now my business is booming
A late bloomer, I stay workin' 'round the clock, lest I get caught by the claws or the jaws of the Jabberwock
[Hook x 2]
