I Know a Lot of Artists
Slaves Lyrics

I know I see this all the time
I see through your facade and recognize your recurring issues

I see the trouble in your eyes
I can read your emotions and see that you're struggling

Trouble that money can't fix
Your problems are deeper than just material wealth can solve

And you still dig your ditch
Despite knowing this, you continue to make decisions that keep you in a negative situation

I usually fall for that same old cycle
In the past, I have been susceptible to getting caught in the same negative patterns

You see it in white and black
The issue is very clear and obvious

And I'm in the middle
I'm caught in between the two extremes of the situation

Well, I don't want the same
I don't want to keep repeating this negative cycle

Maybe I should explain
Perhaps I need to vocalize my concerns and express my boundaries

I've been through this before
I have experienced similar situations in the past

Get it all off your chest
Share your thoughts and feelings with me, be honest

No need to pretend that you won't come undone
There's no need to lie about being able to handle the situation when I know you can't

Come undone
You will eventually break down and your true emotions will come to the surface

You used to tell me everyday
You used to confide in me regularly

You know exactly how I get
You understand my emotional responses and triggers

That's right, I know how you get
I also understand your emotional responses and triggers

That's why I'm walking away
I'm removing myself from the situation to avoid getting caught up in negative patterns

I've learned from this
I have gained knowledge and insight from past situations

Broken down, rebuilt from it
I have been through tough times but have come out stronger because of it

You can say you're different
You may claim to have changed from past negative behaviors

But it's clear you're still the same
However, I can see that you haven't truly changed and are still caught in negative patterns

Sleep in the bed that you made
Deal with the consequences of the choices you've made

I know that someone will save ya
Despite everything, I believe that someone will eventually help you

They're gonna see all your lies
Others will eventually see through your façade and recognize your true intentions

Ain't no crying tonight
Don't bother crying about the negative consequences that you brought upon yourself

It's gonna catch up right where I know it's gonna hurt you most
The negative consequences will arrive at the moment that will cause the most pain for you

Are you coming undone?
Are you finally revealing your true emotions and feelings?

Oh, coming undone
Here it comes, the breakdown of your façade

Coming undone
You can't keep the truth hidden forever
