Comfort
Lorine Chia & J.Kelr Lyrics

Yo so this is my confession
I'm going to open up and share my struggles

Lately I been doing self reflection
I've been taking a close look at myself

And I ain't too impressed with
I'm not happy with

What I feel or what's grown into obsession
My emotions have become an unhealthy fixation

And especially the picture my mirror lately been projecting uh
I don't like what I see in the mirror

Yea hips a lil' wider clothes fitting tighter
I've gained weight and my clothes are tight

And always feeling tired and never feel inspired
I'm constantly tired and lack motivation

And I make plans to change but call myself a liar and lately
I've been making promises to change but failing to follow through

I just seem to always major in the minor
I focus on minor details instead of what really matters

But at the root I'm just a half step down, 3rd times the charm
I know deep down I have room for improvement

And I ain't perfect plead the fifth
I'm not perfect and choose not to incriminate myself

I don't mean no harm
I don't intend to cause harm

This feeling strong tied to a set response
I have a strong emotional reaction to something

But when I'm feeling high or low I be responding wrong
My emotions lead me to make poor choices

Cookie Pies
I seek comfort in unhealthy food

Burger Fries
I indulge in fast food

Pizza with Doritos soda on the side
I consume junk food and drink unhealthy beverages

Ramen noodles chicken wings
I turn to unhealthy choices for comfort

Tell me why
I question my behavior

I run to food for comfort what I'm trying to hide inside
I use food to cover up my emotions

Comfort food yea this my comfort food
I find comfort in unhealthy food choices

I hate the way I feel so I feed the blues
I use food to cope with negative emotions

Whether happy or I'm sad
I turn to food regardless of my emotional state

It's what I'm accustomed too
I've formed a habit of using food for comfort

What if I told you
Consider this scenario

That soul food not supposed too
Comfort food is not meant to

Fill a void that's missing
Replace something missing in my life

But we insist that what's it's gon' do
We continue to believe comfort food will fulfill us

And saying no is rare like talking in a phone booth
It's difficult to refuse comfort food

But whatever it is I go thru
Regardless of my struggles

I must control what this nose do
I need to control my eating habits

Wake up and smell but that's exactly what a rose do
I need to face the truth of my struggles

Outside it's smelling great but can't ignore the thorns that poke you
I can't ignore the negative consequences of my actions

I gotta homie who started to grow his own food
I know someone who makes healthy choices by growing their own food

But healthy choices for my family is something I really don't do
I struggle to make healthy choices for those around me

But now I recognize what's pent up inside
I'm realizing the true source of my struggles

Is something that's been controlling how I suit and tie
My emotional state has been affecting my everyday life

I mean I dress for success but underneath it lies
I may appear successful on the outside but am struggling internally

Emotional attachments that I so despise
Negative emotions that I hate having

So imma roll the dice and avoid being paralyzed
I'm taking a risk to overcome my struggles and not let them control me

By bad decisions let the Holy Spirit guide
I'm relying on my faith to guide me in making better choices

It ain't a poltergeist but trust me IT is down to ride
I have faith that God will support me in my journey

So imma try and introduce some balance to my life
I'm going to make an effort to create a healthy balance
