The Shades

[Verse 1]

Where the hell did soul go?

I am not the logo

Been here too long and I'm going home

Airplane mode, better hold the phone, better hold the phone

I woke up this morning, I looked in the mirror

Cold feet on the tile, how the hell am I here?

Lost track of the moment, barely remember the year

Is this a higher calling or just a career?

Oh god, I'm lost, my bad, my fault

And "I'm sorry" doesn't cover all the pain that I've caused

Just wanna love myself, not codependent on applause

Just wanna run myself, not codependent on applause

[Chorus]

I don't wanna go to work, nah

I just wanna play

I just wanna stay in bed

And watch life through the shades

Through the shade

I just wanna feel better, feel better

And I don't wanna wait, no

I just wanna be happy, man

Man, I'll open up the shades

Open up the shades, open up the shades

[Verse 2]

I wish that taro cards would tell me my future

They say faith is good only if you use it

My uncle's kidneys failed when he got out the hospital

But he stayed drunkaholic, he just couldn't get off that bottle

Couldn't get off that bottle

I went to the casino, swore I ain't going back

The next day, went to the ATM and bet it on black

I spun the roulette wheel and I felt it all start to crash

Playing cards with the Devil, we all know the dealer wins that

I got too much bad karma, yeah, I shoulda saved up

Got kicked off that ladder I was finally getting praise from

A chance to see how we react when God decides to break us

Once you pick the pieces up, well then it's time to make something

I wanna get high, just wanna stay up

Chipped my teeth on the curb

Fight, fuck and make up

Wanna escape my mind, these thoughts need vacations

And girl, you look good, but you'd look better in Jamaica

[Chorus]

I don't wanna go to work, nah

I just wanna play

I just wanna stay in bed

And watch life through the shades

Through the shade

I just wanna feel better, feel better

And I don't wanna wait, no

I just wanna be happy, man

Man, I'll open up the shades

Open up the shades, open up the shades
