These Days
e.c.o Lyrics

All alone these days MIA
I am alone and missing in action these days

I’ve been on my own these days yeah heart frozen uh
I have been alone with a frozen heart these days

I’ve been on my own these days 'tryna keep it together yeah yeah aye yeah yeah yeah
I am trying to keep myself together all by myself

I’ve been on my own these days
I have been going through life without any company lately

'Tryna keep it together I’m staying strong these days MIA
I am doing my best to stay strong even when I am alone and missing in action

I’ve been all alone these days just a devil angel and a microphone these days yeah
I have been completely by myself, only facing my inner demons, inner angels, and expressing myself through music

Just a devil angel and a microphone yeah
All I have is a microphone to express these conflicting emotions represented by a devil and an angel

One says I’m nothing one keeps telling me I’m chosen
One of my inner voices tells me I am worthless while the other one makes me feel special and chosen

Heart frozen I’m going numb again yeah
My heart is frozen and I am slowly losing my ability to feel emotions again

Devil was knocking now he coming in yeah
I am allowing my inner demons to take hold of me now

And I ain’t running I'ma look him in eyes now
Instead of running away, I will confront my problems head-on and face them directly

I count
I keep track

Days like seconds
I feel like time is passing by too quickly

Life's been moving fast every moment is a blessing
Life is fleeting and every moment should be cherished

My mind's turning on me either way it’s still a weapon
My own thoughts can either empower me or break me down, but either way, my mind is still a powerful tool

The only way to learn is to live what a lesson
The only way to truly learn is through life experiences

My life is a movie something like Will in I Am Legend
My life feels like a movie, similar to Will Smith's character in the film I Am Legend

Somehow I just keep forgetting and my doubts tell me I’m worthless
Sometimes I forget my own worth and begin to doubt myself

Then I think of all the work I put in like I deserve it
I remind myself of all the efforts I have made and convince myself that I deserve success

I’m still workin’ and I’ll get what I came for ‘cause I earned it
I am still working hard to achieve my goals, and I know that my efforts will pay off in the end

I don’t do no comparin’ I ain’t saying that I’m perfect
I am not comparing myself to anyone else, nor do I claim to be perfect

But being me is fine I put my battles in these verses
I am content with being myself, and I express my struggles and battles through my music

And try to count my blessings while I’m battling these curses
I focus on the positive things in my life while enduring the hardships

I was on the curb when I should’ve been in churches
I was lost and misguided when I should have been seeking guidance from a religious institution

Almost threw my life away you would’ve thought it was on purpose
I nearly ruined my life, and it seemed as though I did it intentionally

I’m still learning no one’s perfect yeah
I am still learning and growing, and I understand that nobody is perfect

I’m on my own it’s just me and my thoughts
I am completely alone with only my own thoughts to keep me company

Me and my feelings broke apart don’t even speak to my heart
My emotions are in disarray, and I do not even know how to connect with my own heart

My vision getting blurry I’m still keeping it sparked
I am struggling but still trying to keep a positive outlook

It’s how I move on I can’t keep it in park
I keep moving forward because I cannot afford to stay stuck in one place

'Tryna cope 'tryna deal with the pressure and depression
I am trying to cope and deal with the pressures and depressive tendencies

Lately I can’t deal with bad vibes I been catching
I have been struggling with negative energy and do not know how to handle it

So I don’t even give them a chance to get near me
I do not even give negative influences a chance to affect me anymore

By myself only time I see clearly
When I am alone, I can finally think clearly and see things more objectively
