My throne

Artificial lightingĀ 
Pretty frighteningĀ 
Come over to the dark sideĀ 
We donā€™t let the light inĀ 
Curtains closedĀ 
And Iā€™m frozeĀ 
Stuck to this spotĀ 
Head on my pillowĀ 
But I definitely donā€™t sleep
And I donā€™t really eatĀ 
I make plans to meetĀ 
Then I cancel that shitĀ 
Itā€™s just how I am nowĀ 
Actin happy to see people
Itā€™s a sketchĀ 
Take a bowĀ 
The performance is overĀ 
Iā€™m back homeĀ 
Get back to my bed
Bitch this is my throneĀ 
I should win an OscarĀ 
A golden globeĀ 
My actress skills are out of controlĀ 
Stuck in my zoneĀ 
Cos when Iā€™m feeling shit
Lying in my pitĀ 
People need me so I snap out of itĀ 
Givin life adviceĀ 
Whilst feeling cold as iceĀ 
But they come to me cos I know about lifeĀ 
I know about the strife
That life gives sometimesĀ 
And that big fuckin ladder that Iā€™m always climbingĀ 
Seein people post that the sun is shiningĀ 
I told you motherfuckers I dont let the light inĀ 
How am I to knowĀ 
I canā€™t see through the smokeĀ 
One negative thought and then Iā€™m provokedĀ 
To roll some weedĀ 
Then anotherĀ 
And anotherĀ 
And anotherĀ 
I canā€™t stop thinkin bout my fucked up motherĀ 
About my brothers and my sisters and my sisters and my brothersĀ 
But snap back saffĀ 
Your friend has split with her fellaĀ 
Take a weight off her shouldersĀ 
So sheā€™s as light as a featherĀ 

Weights off her shoulders
Iā€™m still carryin mineĀ 
And itā€™s gettin real heavyĀ 
Shits hurtin my spineĀ 
Bending over backwards for the ones I loveĀ 
Cos the ones I wanna give my all to are high aboveĀ 
So for those couple of minutes Iā€™m feelin goodĀ 
But when Iā€™m done with that weā€™re back to the budĀ 
Persona changin with the flick of a switchĀ 
Got me feelin like thereā€™s a bit of a glitchĀ 
In my systemĀ 
ProblemsĀ 
canā€™t list ā€˜emĀ 
Weā€™ll be here all nightĀ 
And bitches wonā€™t listen
Mask on
Ā you canā€™t see my many facesĀ 
Iā€™m slippin Iā€™m trippin I ainā€™t tied my lacesĀ 
Donā€™t know if Iā€™ll win whatever this race is
LifeĀ 
Itā€™s quite a funny little thingĀ 
Staring at my phoneĀ 
My ringtone sings it ringsĀ 
Ringa ding dingĀ 
Ringa ding dingĀ 
I sing and dance on my own sometimesĀ 
I really wile out the time just fliesĀ 
I do these things to elevate my moodĀ 
The room ainā€™t as silent when I listen toĀ 
MusicĀ
