Meant To Do
Quiet
Dark
Lonely
Scared
What do I do?
I don’t have no one, I don’t got no where
So I ask myself again
What do I do?
Well, what do you do when the place your trapped is your own mind
When it’s your own skin that makes you feel confined
When your heart is against you
When your thoughts aren’t your own
Tell me please what am I supposed to do?
How do you tell someone what’s going on
When you don’t know yourself, or where the old you has gone
What do I say when people ask
What’s wrong? How are you?
Am I supposed to lie, or is it time to unmask
Tell me what do I do?
I think I’m starting to feel better
I think I was just a little under the weather
I think this is the time it sticks
Maybe for a while I will feel some joy, happiness
Isn’t this great?
Oh no, time has passed and we’re falling back
I really thought I was good, until the fear and anxiety attacked
Now we’re going backwards, feels like I’m going back in time
I don’t get it, I was good then I wasn’t without any type of sign
I’m back to asking, what do I do?
It’s time to move onwards with my life, I’m gonna break the cycle this time
I think I’ve realized that it’s my life, it’s up to me what I design
No more asking, what do I do
Now I’m saying this is what to do
Now I’m saying this is what I’m meant to do
