Prometheus
Mizuchi Lyrics

Forgive me, Lord, I've been lost in time
I apologize, God, I have been disconnected from reality

I've been looking for a place to hide
I have been searching for a refuge

Trying to hide the bones of who I was
Attempting to conceal the remnants of my past self

Leave them in shadows as they turn to dust
Leaving them unseen as they fade away

Forgive me, Lord, I have just begun
Pardon me, God, I am just starting out

I've been looking for a place to run
I have been seeking an escape

The pain is melting as I shed my skin
The suffering is dissipating as I let go of my old self

Bring me to life as I cry within
Revive me as I silently weep

Accept your flaws I heard it first from Instagram
I first heard about accepting one's flaws from Instagram

It's funny sometimes that makes me feel like less than a man
Sometimes, it is ironic and diminishes my sense of masculinity

I hold my heart in one hand and my sticks in the other
I carry my emotions and drumsticks simultaneously

My mind playing tricks, am I really the son of my mother?
My mind is deceiving me, questioning if I truly belong to my mother's lineage

Why does the darkness gets so heavy? I'm swallowed in seas
Why does the darkness become so oppressive? I am overwhelmed by its depths

I didn't mean to write this shit but it's just following me
I did not intend to write these depressing thoughts, but they persistently haunt me

So I walk with dogs but keep them on a leash nowadays
Nowadays, I associate with negative influences but try to control their impact

I was trapped in my mind and so I'm free nowadays
I used to be trapped in my own thoughts, but now I feel liberated

Trying to smile more and talk about myself less
Striving to smile frequently and focus less on myself

Am I a hypocrite if I let it show as I get dressed, while
Would I be a hypocrite if I reveal my struggles while putting on a facade

Reflections talk to me like the devil inside
My reflections speak to me, resembling the inner voice of the devil

Different levels just revel together swimming in pride
Various aspects of my personality indulge together, enveloped in pride

But "I guess that's okay," says the old me
However, the old version of myself believes that it is acceptable

Locked up and chained down he think he knows me
Confined and restricted, he believes he understands me

"You'll never keep me down" is what he told me
"You will never subdue me" is his statement

My Prometheus I thought I'd kill him slowly
My inner rebellious spirit, I believed I would gradually extinguish

And so I wake up every morning take my anti depressants
Consequently, I consume my antidepressants every morning

The only drug that I need to smile and get over obsessed with
The sole substance required to bring forth a smile and become excessively fixated

I choose to be honest with all this music I'm blessed with
I opt to be sincere through the music I have been gifted with

'Cause God gave me a gift, it's such a shame if I left it
Since God bestowed upon me a talent, it would be a pity if I abandoned it

Bitch, you ain't high you just coughing
You are not experiencing euphoria, you are merely coughing

Send other rappers to coffins
Sending fellow rappers to their graves

Play my music and notice how your pretty baby be nodding
Listen to my music and observe how your attractive partner starts swaying

It's like a trip and she dropping
It's akin to a drug-induced experience and she is surrendering to it

I'm going off I be popping
I am going wild and gaining popularity

Her lips be talking when she knows that I don't do this for profit
Her lips chatter, even though she knows I do not pursue this for monetary gain

No longer dead inside, bitch I feel the evolve
I am no longer emotionally numb; I sense the transformation

And if you wanna free your mind baby who you gon' call?
If you desire to liberate your thoughts, whom will you seek?

I'm like a monster a goblin, recite my lyrics like Prophet
I resemble a terrifying creature, reciting my lyrics with prophetic attributes

I'm often talking be cautious, my words are spinning you nauseous
I frequently speak, but be wary, my words may make you feel nauseous

C'mon
Come on

Lemme play the fool
Allow me to act foolish

I wanna kick start the game
I desire to initiate the game

Never thought I would be worth myself but now the trip starts to change
I never believed I had value, but now the journey takes a different turn

My liver gobbled, eagles sent from the future tryna conquer shit, I thought I wanted this
My liver consumed, futuristic eagles endeavoring to triumph, I believed I desired this

The pain of change got me breaking chains, something I'd not regret
The agony of transformation led me to break free from constraints, something I will not lament

I did it all, on my deathbed I'd smile instead
I accomplished everything, and on my deathbed, I would smile rather than regret
