NF - 10 Feet Down

Yeah I know the person in the mirror's not a perfect one

I look at him everyday and think he's not enough

My life's a book that I don't really like to open up

I'm twenty-six, but I feel like I live in chapter one

I skim through, I've been through it, they laugh at us

You think it's funny, yeah, laugh it up

I always felt like no one listened to me, that's how I grew up

Church is where I found God, but it's also where I learned to judge

Yeah, I had to learn there's a difference between

What you want, and what you really need

I've always been motivated by comments from people tellin' me

Things that I'll never be, and then I become it, this is my everything

There's so much that goes on in my head that people will never see

You probably be terrified of my memories, don't lecture me

Let me be, let me see, let me breathe, how they remember me

Doesn't alter who I am as a person to take my energy, yeah

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

All day, all night

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up

Yeah, my fans made me who I am, but they also deceived me

I've been allowed to live life like I'm already grieving

I'm at a table of lies, but don't eat what they feed me

My hoodie over my face, so nobody can see me

I'm on a plane, 'bout to fly again

Looking out the window, take a moment to admire it

Wondering how high it is, wonder where the time has went

Then I shut the window and go back to feeling like I'm out my mind again, ah

Yeah, seems like we're all trying to climb a ladder

It's crazy what we'll do to climb it faster

It's like we throw away the things in life that really matter

Just so that we can make it to the top, and wonder what we're even climbing after

I know the feeling of feeling like everything you deal with will never change

That's part of being a human, yeah

Life's what you make of it, take it, embrace it, and take it, and savor it

Ain't about what you did, it's what you became from it, ah

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

All day, all night

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up

We all want what we never had

The good life doesn't seem so bad

The good life doesn't seem so sad

Yeah we all want what we never had

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up

All day, all night

Ten feet down nearly my whole life

But I'll be rising, rising up

We all want what we never had

The good life doesn't seem so bad

The good life doesn't seem so sad

Yeah we all want what we never had

Hard days, cold nights

Staring down at an empty cup like

I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
