Hey Nate, how's life?
        I don't know, it's alright
        I've been dealin' with some things like every human being
        And really didn't sleep much last night (Last night)

        I'm sorry, that's fine
        I just think I need a little me time
        I just think I need a little free time
        Little break from the shows and the bus rides, yeah (Bus rides)

        Last year I had a breakdown
        Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost, gettin' too loud
        Had to see a therapist and I found out
        Somethin' funny's going on up in my house

        Yeah, started thinkin' maybe I should move out
        You know, pack my cart, take a new route
        Clean up my yard, get the noose out
        Hang up my heart, let it air out (Air out)

        I've been searchin'
        What does that mean, Nate?
        I've been learning
        Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens
        Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect

        Lookin' at the view like this concerns me
        Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous
        Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry
        And things might hurt me
        It's probably gonna be a long journey, but hey! (But hey!)

        It's worth it though
        Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats
        Been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam
        Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code

        Pretty vivid; I admit it, I'm in classic mode
        Don't need pity given to me but I can't condone
        Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes
        I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? (You seen it?)

        Been makin' a whole lot of changes
        Wrote a song about that, you should play it
        I get scared when I walk on these stages
        I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah

        That's when I start to get anxious
        That's when my thoughts can be dangerous
        That's when I put on my make-up and drown in self-hatred
        Forget what I'm saying, and
        Where'd the beat go?

        Oh, ain't that somethin'?
        Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'
        Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'
        Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach

        Throw it back up like I don't want it
        Wipe my face, clean up my vomit
        OCD, tryna push my buttons
        I said don't touch it, now y'all done it

        I can be critical, never typical
        Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal
        Intimate, but never political, pretty visual
        Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it though

        You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable
        Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool
        Way that I been thinkin' this cinematic is beautiful
        Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (videos, videos)

        Yeah, the sales can rise
        Doesn't mean much though when your health declines
        See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside
        That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies

        Try to hold it underwater but it always survives
        Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise
        Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies
        You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am

        The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place
        And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way
        It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe
        Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, OK?

        Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face
        Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great
        You'll never be great—not because you're not, but the hate
        Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (Woo!)

        I am developin', take a look at the benefits
        Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate
        Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it
        Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence

        It's pretty evident; dependable can never be tentative
        I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine
        Pretty elegant but not afraid to tell you to get a grip
        Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah!

        It's that time again
        Better grab your balloons and invite your friends
        Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in
        Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big

        On a road right now that I can't predict
        Tell me "Tone that down", but I can't resist
        Y'all know that sound, better raise your fists
        The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh (Huh, huh)
