Lyrics
[Verse 1] Trying not to be the man I didn't want to be To be the person that you want to see The night falls, I'm the one you meet Stopping at the shops and buying something sweet Yo, I was willing, we was able Yeah, put a living on the table The little image that I cradle To empathise with the villains in the fable That we relate to, because it shapes you I started doing everything that they do Visions of a father that would taint you Yeah, shatter like the glass that I was chained to Becausе I made you, anyone could make you Yеah, but it's your father that could raise you Ah, only a mother that could save you We never had enough, still we make do [Chorus] Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle The days that are vital, the place as an idol Yeah, see the name's in the title The days, a disciple, this pain, it was my fault Yeah, 'cause wide awake from the chains in the thread All the pain that could stays in your head Yeah, I understand, yo, I'm whiling No man is an island but you know I've been trying [Verse 2] Yeah, but is it good enough? Yeah, shiver through my hoodie as I pull it up Cycle through the city, thinking stupid stuff Acting like I'm quiet but I could erupt And I did Flashing back when we was kids, I see my father blow his lid Yeah, I used to say I hate the crib Hate the doors, hate the fridge, hate this fucking house I live 'Cause there's holes in every wall and now there's holes in every wall When it was me and I've been taken for a fool I hold my son, yo, I've been trying to play it cool But I'm the villain in the story, the exception to the rule Did the pressure bussed a pipe, build a diamond? The anger puts a fella on an island Yeah, you hear the bang, feel the silence Ah, but you know I've been trying [Chorus] Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle The days that are vital, the place as an idol Yeah, see the name's in the title The days, a disciple, this pain, it was my fault Yeah, 'cause wide awake from the chains in the thread All the pain that could stays in your head Yeah, I understand, yo, I'm whiling No man is an island but you know I've been [Verse 3] When I was younger, yo, I wanted to be famous Now that I'm older, yo, I wish that I was nameless The world's aimless, no one gives a fuck Time's of the essence, I was running out of luck Getting stuck for a couple bucks, tryna bust a nut Filling up my plate but wasn't filling up your cup Yo, I say it's fucked, they even killed the Wolverine That was the only father figure that I'd seen I was lost, trying to find something to believe All them aches and the pain, yeah, from crying on my knees I was saying please, all this air that I breathe Weren't a waste, the glass chin staying on my feet I close my eyes and I listen to you sleep Yeah, find some peace
