Lyrics
[Rap Verse]
Woke up and checked my phone, but nothing was there (nothing there)
The world’s still turning, but I’m stuck in a stare (stuck in a stare)
I reached out once, twice, but nobody cared (nobody cared)
Guess I’m just talking to the thin, empty air
Thought I’d be shining, thought I’d be seen (be seen)
But all I got was this gap in between
Like I’m here but not, just stuck in the scene (stuck in the scene)
No clue what happened, no sign on the screen (what happened?)
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m holding on, but it’s slipping away (slipping away)
Waiting for a word, just something to say
But all I get is the silence, the doubt (just doubt)
Guess I’m on my own, trying to figure it out (figure it out)
[Chorus]
They shut me out, they shut me down (shut me down)
No reason why, they just turned around
Locked me out, left me in the cold (in the cold)
I’m still here, but I’m losing hold (losing hold)
They shut me out, they shut me down (shut me down)
No reason why, they just turned around (turned around)
Oooh, oh-oh, they just turned around... (turned around)
[Verse]
I thought I had a shot, thought I had a place (had a place)
But now I’m just another lost face
I played the game, followed all the rules (all the rules)
But now I feel like I’ve been played for a fool (like a fool)
The crowd moves on, I’m left behind (left behind)
Looking for answers, but there’s none to find
They look right through me like I’m not even there (not there)
Can’t figure out why, can’t find what’s fair (what’s fair?)
[Chorus]
They shut me out, they shut me down (shut me down)
No reason why, they just turned around
Locked me out, left me in the cold (in the cold)
I’m still here, but I’m losing hold (losing hold)
They shut me out, they shut me down (shut me down)
No reason why, they just turned around (turned around)
Oooh, oh-oh, they just turned around... (turned around)
[Post-Chorus]
And it cuts deep, deeper than they know (deeper, deeper)
No reasons given, just told to go (just told to go)
Aaah, aaah, deeper than they know...
[Instrumental Hook]
[Bridge]
I’m walking through this maze they built (they built)
Trying to shake off all the guilt (all the guilt)
They played the game, and I was the pawn (just a pawn)
But I’ll find my way before the dawn (before the dawn)
They pushed me out, but I’ll push back (push back)
One day soon, I’ll get on track (on track)
Ooooh, I’ll get on track... (on track)
[Instrumental Hook]
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m holding on, but it’s slipping away (slipping away)
Waiting for a word, just something to say
But all I get is the silence, the doubt (just doubt)
Guess I’m on my own, trying to figure it out (figure it out)
[Chorus]
They shut me out, they shut me down (shut me down)
No reason why, they just turned around
Locked me out, left me in the cold (in the cold)
I’m still here, but I’m losing hold (losing hold)
They shut me out, they shut me down (shut me down)
No reason why, they just turned around (turned around)
Oooh, oh-oh, they just turned around... (turned around)
[Outro]
Now I drift, feeling so low (feeling low)
In the silence, where I don’t know
But the wind will carry me far away (far away)
And I’ll find my voice again someday (someday)
Oooh, oooh, someday...
