The Search

[00:08.40] THE SEARCH

[00:00.00] "Hey, Nate, how's life?"

[00:00.00] I don't know, it's alright

[00:00.00] I've been dealin' with some things like every human being

[00:00.00] And really didn't sleep much last night (last night)

[00:00.00] "I'm sorry", that's fine

[00:00.00] I just think I need a little me time

[00:00.00] I just think I need a little free time

[00:00.00] Little break from the shows and the bus rides (bus rides), yeah

[00:00.00] Last year I had a breakdown

[00:00.00] Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud

[00:00.00] Had to see a therapist, then I found out

[00:00.00] Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house

[00:00.00] Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out

[00:00.00] You know, pack my car, take a new route

[00:00.00] Clean up my yard, get the noose out

[00:00.00] Hang up my heart, let it air out (air out)

[00:00.00] I've been searchin'

[00:00.00] "What does that mean, Nate?"

[00:00.00] I've been learning

[00:00.00] Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens

[00:00.00] Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect

[00:00.00] Lookin' at the view like, this concerns me

[00:00.00] Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous

[00:00.00] Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry

[00:00.00] And things might hurt me

[00:00.00] It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey (but hey)

[00:00.00] It's worth it, though

[00:00.00] Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats

[00:00.00] Been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam

[00:00.00] Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code

[00:00.00] Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode

[00:00.00] Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone

[00:00.00] Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes

[00:00.00] I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? (You seen it?)

[00:00.00] Been makin' a whole lot of changes

[00:00.00] Wrote a song about that, you should play it

[00:00.00] I get scared when I walk on these stages

[00:00.00] I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah

[00:00.00] That's when I start to get anxious

[00:00.00] That's when my thoughts can be dangerous

[00:00.00] That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred

[00:00.00] Forget what I'm saying, and

[00:00.00] Where'd the beat go?

[00:00.00] Oh, ain't that somethin'?

[00:00.00] Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'

[00:00.00] Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'

[00:00.00] Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach

[00:00.00] Throw it back up like I don't want it

[00:00.00] Wipe my face, clean up my vomit

[00:00.00] OCD, tryna push my buttons

[00:00.00] I said don't touch it, now y'all done it

[00:00.00] I can be critical, never typical

[00:00.00] Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal

[00:00.00] Intimate, but never political, pretty visual

[00:00.00] Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though

[00:00.00] You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable

[00:00.00] Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool

[00:00.00] Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful

[00:00.00] Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (videos, videos, videos)

[00:00.00] Yeah, the sales can rise

[00:00.00] Doesn't mean much though when your health declines

[00:00.00] See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside

[00:00.00] That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies

[00:00.00] Try to hold it underwater but it always survives

[00:00.00] Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise

[00:00.00] Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies

[00:00.00] You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am

[00:00.00] The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place

[00:00.00] And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way

[00:00.00] It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe

[00:00.00] Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?

[00:00.00] Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face

[00:00.00] Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great

[00:00.00] You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate

[00:00.00] Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (woo!)

[00:00.00] I am developin', take a look at the benefits

[00:00.00] Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate

[00:00.00] Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it

[00:00.00] Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence

[00:00.00] Pretty evident, dependable can never be tentative

[00:00.00] I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine

[00:00.00] Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip

[00:00.00] Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah (ah)

[00:00.00] It's that time again

[00:00.00] Better grab your balloons and invite your friends

[00:00.00] Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in

[00:00.00] Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big

[00:00.00] On a road right now that I can't predict

[00:00.00] Tell me "Tone that down, " but I can't resist

[00:00.00] Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist

[00:00.00] The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh"
