August Kuper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna be the victim
But I don't wanna be the lion
This isn't my kingdom
Oh I just wanna trust
I don't wanna fear
I'm standing in the sun now
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
Oh I just wanna trust
No, I don't wanna fear
I'm standing in the sun now
You have no place here
I don't wanna be the prey
No, I don't wanna be the victim
But I don't wanna be the lion
This isn't my kingdom
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
Yeah, you probably think it's psychosis
Headache in my head got me feeling emotion
Overdose emotion you can't flow this
Sonic flow my holes are still going up
Always old is the gold got me blowing up
Can't hold us, no you can't stop me
Cus I'm held down even though the road rocky
My God got me on the phone, so no talking
I don't wanna hear a word from your mouth
You a fly on the wall like a bird in the house
Bird in the library what you chirping about
Tryna work my message my self worth is the row you want
Please help my mind is occupied
Got hard love and my time has already died
I feel life got me thinking way too much about the negatives
It took a little while but I'm ahead of it
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
Get out my head, just get out my head
I been thinking way too much about what you said
(This isn't my kingdom)
Get out my head, just get out my head
