My throne

Artificial lighting 
Pretty frightening 
Come over to the dark side 
We donā€™t let the light in 
Curtains closed 
And Iā€™m froze 
Stuck to this spot 
Head on my pillow 
But I definitely donā€™t sleep
And I donā€™t really eat 
I make plans to meet 
Then I cancel that shit 
Itā€™s just how I am now 
Actin happy to see people
Itā€™s a sketch 
Take a bow 
The performance is over 
Iā€™m back home 
Get back to my bed
Bitch this is my throne 
I should win an Oscar 
A golden globe 
My actress skills are out of control 
Stuck in my zone 
Cos when Iā€™m feeling shit
Lying in my pit 
People need me so I snap out of it 
Givin life advice 
Whilst feeling cold as ice 
But they come to me cos I know about life 
I know about the strife
That life gives sometimes 
And that big fuckin ladder that Iā€™m always climbing 
Seein people post that the sun is shining 
I told you motherfuckers I dont let the light in 
How am I to know 
I canā€™t see through the smoke 
One negative thought and then Iā€™m provoked 
To roll some weed 
Then another 
And another 
And another 
I canā€™t stop thinkin bout my fucked up mother 
About my brothers and my sisters and my sisters and my brothers 
But snap back saff 
Your friend has split with her fella 
Take a weight off her shoulders 
So sheā€™s as light as a feather 

Weights off her shoulders
Iā€™m still carryin mine 
And itā€™s gettin real heavy 
Shits hurtin my spine 
Bending over backwards for the ones I love 
Cos the ones I wanna give my all to are high above 
So for those couple of minutes Iā€™m feelin good 
But when Iā€™m done with that weā€™re back to the bud 
Persona changin with the flick of a switch 
Got me feelin like thereā€™s a bit of a glitch 
In my system 
Problems 
canā€™t list ā€˜em 
Weā€™ll be here all night 
And bitches wonā€™t listen
Mask on
 you canā€™t see my many faces 
Iā€™m slippin Iā€™m trippin I ainā€™t tied my laces 
Donā€™t know if Iā€™ll win whatever this race is
Life 
Itā€™s quite a funny little thing 
Staring at my phone 
My ringtone sings it rings 
Ringa ding ding 
Ringa ding ding 
I sing and dance on my own sometimes 
I really wile out the time just flies 
I do these things to elevate my mood 
The room ainā€™t as silent when I listen to 
Music
