[00:36.03] "Hey, Nate, how's life?"

[00:38.28] I don't know, it's alright

[00:40.53] I've been dealin' with some things like every human being

[00:42.53] And really didn't sleep much last night (last night)

[00:44.53] "I'm sorry", that's fine

[00:46.53] I just think I need a little me time

[00:48.53] I just think I need a little free time

[00:50.28] Little break from the shows and the bus rides (bus rides), yeah

[00:52.53] Last year I had a breakdown

[00:54.54] Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud

[00:56.54] Had to see a therapist, then I found out

[00:58.53] Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house

[01:00.53] Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out

[01:02.28] You know, pack my car, take a new route

[01:04.54] Clean up my yard, get the noose out

[01:06.28] Hang up my heart, let it air out (air out)

[01:08.54] I've been searchin'

[01:10.03] "What does that mean, Nate?"

[01:10.78] I've been learning

[01:11.95] Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens

[01:13.69] Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect

[01:15.95] Lookin' at the view like, this concerns me

[01:17.68] Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous

[01:19.69] Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry

[01:21.69] And things might hurt me

[01:22.94] It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey (but hey)

[01:24.95] It's worth it, though

[01:26.19] Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats

[01:28.19] Been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam

[01:29.95] Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code

[01:31.94] Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode

[01:34.20] Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone

[01:35.94] Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes

[01:38.87] I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? (You seen it?)

[01:40.38] Been makin' a whole lot of changes

[01:42.38] Wrote a song about that, you should play it

[01:44.37] I get scared when I walk on these stages

[01:46.13] I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah

[01:48.62] That's when I start to get anxious

[01:50.63] That's when my thoughts can be dangerous

[01:52.87] That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred

[01:55.13] Forget what I'm saying, and

[01:57.88] Where'd the beat go?

[01:58.63] Oh, ain't that somethin'?

[02:00.07] Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'

[02:02.06] Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'

[02:04.07] Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach

[02:06.06] Throw it back up like I don't want it

[02:08.06] Wipe my face, clean up my vomit

[02:10.06] OCD, tryna push my buttons

[02:12.06] I said don't touch it, now y'all done it

[02:14.31] I can be critical, never typical

[02:15.51] Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal

[02:17.52] Intimate, but never political, pretty visual

[02:19.76] Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though

[02:21.77] You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable

[02:23.76] Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool

[02:25.77] Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful

[02:27.76] Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (videos, videos, videos)

[02:30.77] Yeah, the sales can rise

[02:32.26] Doesn't mean much though when your health declines

[02:34.02] See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside

[02:36.02] That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies

[02:38.02] Try to hold it underwater but it always survives

[02:40.02] Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise

[02:42.02] Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies

[02:44.03] You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am

[02:46.02] The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place

[02:48.02] And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way

[02:50.01] It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe

[02:52.02] Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?

[02:54.02] Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face

[02:56.02] Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great

[02:57.98] You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate

[02:59.97] Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (woo!)

[03:02.48] I am developin', take a look at the benefits

[03:03.97] Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate

[03:05.98] Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it

[03:07.98] Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence

[03:09.98] Pretty evident, dependable can never be tentative

[03:11.97] I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine

[03:13.97] Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip

[03:15.98] Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah (ah)

[03:18.23] It's that time again

[03:19.98] Better grab your balloons and invite your friends

[03:21.98] Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in

[03:23.98] Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big

[03:25.97] On a road right now that I can't predict

[03:27.98] Tell me "Tone that down, " but I can't resist

[03:29.98] Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist

[03:31.98] The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh
