buck
nothingnowhere. Lyrics

Heard you moved out, heard you moved on
I heard that you left your old life behind and moved on to something new.

Heard you blew up, then you broke down
I heard that you became successful, but then had a breakdown or setback.

Heard your new song on the TV
I heard your new song played on television.

Saw your old face on a magazine
I saw your picture on a magazine cover, from before you became famous.

You must love everything, man, I wish I could say it
You seem to be enjoying your new life and success, and I wish I could feel the same way.

But I'm stuck in this town on my own
I feel trapped in this small town, with nobody else to relate to.

Feeling down, what's it like now to be famous?
I'm feeling depressed, and I wonder what it's like to be famous and successful.

Tell me right now, 'cause you made it
Can you tell me what it's really like to be successful and famous?

I'm not okay, I'm not alright
I'm struggling with my mental health and emotions.

I need a break, I need a light
I need some rest and some hope to get through this tough time.

I gotta keep it a buck, keep it a buck
I need to be honest and real with myself and others.

Think I got lost in a chase, I'm feeling stuck
I feel like I'm just going through the motions and not getting anywhere.

Feel like this every day, shit kinda suck
I feel like this every day, and it's really difficult and unpleasant.

Shoutout to the 508, tell 'em what's up
Greetings to my hometown of 508, Massachusetts.

I know that now I'm puttin' on for 'em like yuh
Now that I'm successful, I'm representing my hometown with pride and enthusiasm.

I been working overtime, doing too much
I've been working really hard, possibly to the point of exhaustion.

I don't need you telling me how to feel
I don't want anyone else telling me how to handle my emotions.

Wake up, the same bed, you're goin' out, I'm staying in
Every day feels the same, and I'm staying in bed while you go out and live your life.

I don't know what day it is, I guess that's the way it is
I've lost track of time and feel like I'm just stuck in this rut.

Seems like everyday, every night same thing
My days and nights feel monotonous and repetitive.

Another week, another month, another year wasted
I feel like I'm just wasting my life away, week after week, month after month, and year after year.

Oh no, why you gotta live like that, yeah
I'm questioning why you're living such a different life from me.

I got it, now I wanna bring it right back, 'cause
I understand your lifestyle now, but I want to return to my simpler life.

Misguided, see, the grass over here ain't green, yeah
I realize that my pursuit of success and fame was misguided, and that my current situation isn't any better than it was before.

Sometimes I'ma dream, no it ain't what it seems like
Sometimes I have dreams and aspirations, but they never seem to come true in reality.
