Since A Long Time Ago


Bullet to the head

Face is tired, numb, and red

The words you just have said

Can't fix the wounds that have bled

From a long time ago

 

Reasons to get upset

The tears in which I have wept

Expectations yet to be met

Since a long time ago

 

Since a long time ago, I've had enough

Misconceptions of people thinkin' I'm so tough

But don't they all say that life gets a bit too rough

 

I need to move on, not hold on

To those who broke me in my past

God knows how long this dark cloud will even last

 

Wanna give love to those who always have been by my side

They don't have big egos nor care to prove every time that they're right

Even though they are right, and always have been since a long time ago

 

Since a long time ago, depression has overtaken me

Just makes me another member of the growing statistic tree of sadness in the world

Why in society can't we live

Without all the useless negativity?

 

Remember when peace existed, nah never had it

Remember the fun childhood days you see in movies, nah never had em

Remember all the years of loneliness and numb feelings, yes always

 

I am just tryna make up for all the time lost to be who I am in the present

Instead of who I am pressurized to be in the future

 

Then I can finally start saying "yeah I've been happy"

Since a long time ago
