In my head
The Sky Lyrics

Forgive me lord
Asking for forgiveness from God

It hurts your core
Acknowledging that actions have consequences and hurt others

Cause I promised
Breaking a promise previously made

I wouldn't be here again
Referring to a previous negative state or situation

Like before
Repeating a mistake or cycle

All these days that I been down
Describing a depressed state of being

I just look for a friend
Seeking companionship for emotional support

I hear the voices in the echo
Hearing inner, negative self-talk

Make the haters pretend
Noticing that others may fake support or positivity

But I don't want your pity thought
Expressing a desire to not receive pity or sympathy from others

I'm riding solo instead
Choosing to deal with problems alone

Too many demons on my ass
Feeling overwhelmed and haunted by personal issues

They want me chasing the bread
Feeling pressured to prioritize financial gain over mental health

So why you switching all the plans
Questioning someone who has changed their previous support or actions

When you just told me I'm the man
Feeling disrespected or misled by someone who previously boosted self-esteem

And now I'm looking in the mirror
Examining oneself and reflecting on life choices

And I think that I'm in a trance
Dissociating from reality and feeling disconnected

Don't get it twisted I miss it I think that I'm on a mission
Feeling conflicted between a past lifestyle and a new pursuit

They tell me that ill get lost so I'm digging deeper to listen
Resisting persuasive or negative outside influences

You only listen to what the followers say
Acknowledging a tendency to conform to peer pressure

Don't get me honest I'm eating off of your coffin today
Sarcasm about how someone else's negativity affects personal success

I'm going off on the way
Emotionally venting through expression

Cause I got so much to say
Feeling overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts

But all the voices keep telling me
Continuing to struggle with negative self-talk

It's gon be ok
Trying to reassure oneself and maintain hope

Voices in my head
Continuing to describe negative self-talk

Making me sad
Experiencing negative emotions due to personal thoughts

Wishing that I was dead
Having suicidal thoughts

And he doesn't understand
Feeling misunderstood and isolated from others

All that he's doing
Referring to an unknown person or force causing distress

Is killing me instead
Feeling like circumstances and emotions are causing harm or death

Depression it kicks in
Acknowledging a struggle with depression

Making me feel content
Feeling complacent with sadness and negative thoughts

I'm sorry when I get
Showing regret and remorse for negative behavior

Like this it upsets
Expressing worry that negative emotions affect others

You my dear friend
Addressing a close friend or companion

I work my ass off
Acknowledging hard work and effort

But never getting paid in full
Feeling undervalued and underappreciated for hard work

One step at a time cause
Taking things slowly and methodically

I'm just hunting for the pedestal
Searching for personal success and validation

Switch up look at the bigger picture
Changing perspective and examining the wider context

It's beautiful
Finding beauty and positivity in life

They love me in my head but out loud I think that I'm pitiful
Feeling like others secretly support but publicly judge and ostracize

They just put the flame on me
Feeling like others intentionally provoke or incite negative emotions

And now I'm running through the streets
Reacting to negative emotions by feeling erratic and unpredictable

I got the whole city on beat
Feeling like personal struggles are affecting an entire community or environment

You better watch come take a seat
Warning others to pay attention and be mindful of personal struggles

And if you wanna be elite
Encouraging others to strive for personal success and excellence

Then question everything you see
Encouraging a healthy skepticism and critical thinking

Cause we just searching for the key
Continuing the search for personal success and fulfillment

And Push the pressure with the heat
Intensifying pressure to achieve personal goals and success

Every time I fall
Referencing a pattern of failure or mistakes

I fall real steep
Experiencing extreme negative consequences from personal failures

And Every time I cut
Referencing self-harm or past trauma

I cut too deep
Taking self-harm and negative emotions to an extreme level

But my weakness has been
Acknowledging a personal weakness or flaw

The strength to shape
Using personal struggles and failures to shape personal growth and development

The power my spirit brings
Finding strength and resilience within oneself

I been wanting
Desiring something

To do it
Unknown, more context needed

I know its selfish
Acknowledging personal motivations and behavior as selfish

I know it's stupid
Recognizing negative behavior or decisions

But I can't help it
Unable to control or change certain actions or emotions

Feel like I'm losing
Feeling like personal struggles are causing losses or failures

When I am winning
Contrasting personal improvements with feelings of loss or failure

Ways how to do it
Unknown, more context needed

Had me planning
Describing an intense focus or preoccupation with personal goals or success

The best time I admit
Acknowledging previous mistakes but emphasizing progress

This isn't healthy
Recognizing negative consequences and harm caused by personal behavior or thoughts

If I can't get through this
Feeling overwhelmed with personal struggles and unsure of how to cope or manage

And I can't help me
Unable to self-soothe or find personal solutions to problems

Then How can I help them
Feeling unable to support or help others due to personal struggles and challenges

The lost and the empty
Describing a group of people who need support or assistance
