Cold
[unknown] Lyrics

Baby I know that you lie
I understand that you're not being honest with me

Keeping all the feelings that you think but can't express inside
You're concealing your emotions and thoughts, unable to articulate them

In the norm
You're following what society considers acceptable behavior

In the world
Your conduct is typical of what's seen in society

Cos you just try to act mean
You're attempting to project an image of toughness

Baby come on lean lean now
Please open up to me

Come on baby won't you lean lean now and then
Occasionally reveal your true feelings to me

Don't be stuck
Don't be trapped by your guardedness

Maybe we can just think it over?
Can we discuss this further and understand each other better?

Cold calling kicking curbs
I keep trying to reach out to you but you're unresponsive

I'm just built like a soldier
I'm resilient, like a soldier

What does freedom mean to you?
What is your interpretation of freedom?

I've been cold calling all over you
I keep trying to connect with you but it's not working

I grew up in the military
I was raised in a military environment

A war zone, a nappy head
I experienced war and have natural hair

A million cemeteries
I've seen a lot of death and loss

So suicidal imma smile when I get buried
I have struggled with mental health and will appear happy even in death

But the money have you thinking what the hell is happy?
But the wealth that comes with success makes you question the definition of happiness

Lick the gasoline off from my own lungs
I engulf myself in self-destructive habits

Functioning alcoholic with a Molotov
I'm a functioning alcoholic and my behavior is explosive

A workaholic I won't sleep until my brain dies
I have an unhealthy obsession with work and refuse to rest

I'm comatose enough to dream you think I look alive
I'm so emotionally drained that I can only pretend to have energy

You sleep, agent
You're not truly awake and aware of reality

Catch a body
Kill someone

This my life and not a hobby
This is my real life, not just a pastime

Skid mark on the creases of your ghost
Your presence is faint and your impact is minimal

Could fucking rob me
You would have no significant impact on my life

Death note
A notebook in which you can write someone's name and cause their death

Take an L
Take a loss

And murder people with a pen
Using your words, you can hurt people

You like to claim you know me
You assert that you understand me

You don't know just where I've been
You don't truly comprehend my experiences

And Channel 5 is on late
The news on TV is on late at night

Now you a zombie and click bait
You're mindlessly consuming online content and being used for clicks

You've tucked in white aggressions
You've concealed your prejudices and aggression

Call your manager irate
Reach out to your manager in a state of anger

And you claim you piss greatness
You believe that you exude excellence

Just to plan your own escape
But you're just trying to create an exit strategy for yourself

And I'm just fumbling with my own faith
I'm struggling to find my own beliefs or sense of purpose

You've been lied to
You've been told falsehoods

And you've been living
You've been existing

Having to subside the truth
Having to suppress the reality

Now that's a given
That's expected

Change perspective
Look at things differently

Of what it means to just be winning
Regarding what it means to succeed

Bombs
Explosives

Bombs
Explosives

Bombs is falling
An attack is happening

You keep keep cold calling over me
You keep trying to contact me but it's not effective

And I keep cold calling over you
I keep trying to reach you but it's not working

With your busted attitude, acetone, on the dial
Your behavior is unpleasant and harsh, and you're constantly calling me

I've been changing my reality for comfort of denial
I've been creating a false narrative for myself to avoid confronting the truth

Haven't checked in with myself for a while
I haven't taken the time to truly evaluate my mental state lately

People leaving
Individuals departing

People taking
People seizing opportunities

All of what you see as truth
Everything you perceive as accurate

Crowds fall into the wind but
People follow the path of least resistance

I just can't believe it's you
It's hard for me to accept that you're behaving this way

Baby
A term of endearment

I've been cold calling all over you babe
I've been attempting to connect with you but it's not successful
