Insane
Crown And The M.O.B. Lyrics

I know you're feeling low I know you're feeling sorrow
I understand that you are experiencing sadness and despair

I know you're feeling like you can't make it to tomorrow
I recognize that you are struggling to see a way forward

I know you got some bruises know you got some pain
I see that you have emotional wounds and suffering

The people all around you they just make you feel insane
Others around you contribute to making you feel overwhelmed

And everything is crushin' you got pressure in your chest
You feel burdened and weighed down by everything

You wake up everyday and try to do your best
You strive to do your best each day despite the challenges

But everyday you wake up your motivation's less
You struggle to find the motivation to keep going each day

The people said they love you all got up and left
Those who claimed to love you have abandoned you

And now you're feelin' lonely you wanna say hold me
You feel isolated and long for comfort and support

You're looking in the mirror like where the fuck's the old me
You question your identity and miss who you used to be

I know that you burden yourself with all the blame
You carry the weight of blame and guilt upon yourself

I know you're feeling shame and you're tired of the games
You experience shame and exhaustion from the struggles

I don't have the answers I wanna take it all away
I don't have solutions, but I wish I could relieve your pain

I want you to mean it when you say that you're okay
I hope that when you say you're okay, it's sincere

You wanna know how I know how you feel?
Do you want to understand how I can relate to your emotions?

I know how you feel because I'm the same
I can empathize because I have shared similar feelings

I spent my life running from myself from oppression
I avoided confronting myself and oppressive forces

From depression from confession
I tried to escape depressive thoughts and self-expression

Now I'm here and stuck second guessing
Presently, I am struggling with self-doubt

You're undressing I'm obsessing
While you reveal yourself, I become fixated

Wishin' that I could stop stressing
I wish to alleviate this constant stress

I can't take the truth but
I struggle to accept reality, but

Give the truth away like it's a blessing
I share the truth as if it were a gift

I can talk about myself for hours
I can discuss my own experiences extensively

But I can't love myself for an hour
Despite talking about myself, I struggle to love who I am

I build up my walls like I'm living in a tower
I create barriers around myself, isolating like a tower

I gotta do it everyday to feel like I have power
I must maintain these defenses daily to feel in control

I survived suicide and I found my purpose
I lived through suicidal thoughts and discovered my reason for being

They say it gets better so why do I feel worthless?
Despite promises of improvement, I still struggle with feelings of worthlessness

I have done a lot of shows so why am I still nervous?
Even after many performances, I am plagued by nerves

God keeps teachin' me why am I not learnin'?
Despite divine guidance, I struggle to grasp the lessons

I just beat myself up cause I am never perfect
I criticize myself relentlessly because I can never attain perfection

I shut everybody out and act like I'm not hurtin'
I isolate myself and pretend that I am not in pain

You wanna know the truth? My whole life I was a burden
The reality is that I have always felt like a burden

But I am not I am nothing but a person
Despite this feeling, I am simply a human being

And you're the same
And you share these struggles with me

Yeah we're the same we're insane got a fire for a brain
Yes, we share these experiences and have passionate minds

Mental illnesses for days and we're filled with fuckin' rage
We battle mental health issues and harbor intense anger

Like a bull in the cage the world's in our way
We feel trapped and obstructed by the challenges of the world

I got a lot to say and we don't fuckin' play
I have much to express, and we are not messing around

We hope and we pray that this pain will go away
We yearn and wish for relief from this constant suffering

It stays and it prays on our deepest fear everyday
Our pain persists and preys on our innermost fears daily

Wrap the caution around my body you're in danger
I am guarded against harm, warning others of potential danger

I look in the mirror like I'm lookin' at a stranger
When I see myself, it feels as if I am gazing at a stranger

I don't wanna change her I just want some love
I do not desire to alter myself, I simply seek love and acceptance

I don't feel enough our biggest enemies are us
I struggle with feelings of inadequacy, recognizing that we are our own adversaries

And we bluff we act tough cause our lives are pretty rough
We put on a façade of strength to mask the difficulties we face

Got the keys to our cuff so why do we feel stuck?
We hold the power to free ourselves, so why do we remain trapped?

I just grit my teeth I don't ask for help
I bear my challenges silently, refusing to seek assistance

No one really knows how many times I fell
I have faced numerous setbacks that go unnoticed by others

The bullies in my life will never know how it felt
Those who have tormented me will never understand the impact of their actions

Burned the fuckin' cards to the hand I was dealt
I have discarded the negative aspects of my circumstances

I gotta love myself cause I only got myself
I must learn to love and care for myself as I am my own constant companion

You look up to me but you don't love yourself but you should
While you admire me, you must also learn to love and value yourself

Cuz we're the same
Because we share these struggles and challenges

Yeah we're the same
Yes, we both face similar difficulties

Insane
Feeling overwhelmed by the internal and external struggles

Insane
Experiencing intense emotions and battling inner demons
