An eternal cyclical pattern
Yet another pep talk to myself
Knowing that I've got to kick
Turning to another every time I feel I need help
Suck it up and own your shit
Sit with it and f*ckin' figure it
Figure it out once and for all
Sit with your shit and f*ckin' figure it
For once just have some balls
You know the bad shit is unkind
Wipe my tears and stop being scared
Tell myself better luck next time
But I self-respond instantly
I am not and never been the lucky kind
Of any kind, at least that's been recognized
But hindsight has a way of showing
Me a version of myself that's axiomatically blind
Part of myself that can fool my heart and mind
Persuasion is an art and skill
Embedded in my spine
I could talk a priest into a rager all night
Ensuring he's fine
A talent to influence
One that gets better with time
Was always good at a sale
But it wasn't in my blood
It never felt natural
Felt like betrayal in love
Could sell you on a vacation
With a destination unknown
Could literally sell snow to an Eskimo
Could literally sell snow to an Eskimo
But it's gotta get bad before it gets good
And it's gotta get good before it gets bad
The fact my bads outweigh my goods
Knowing how much effort I make
Really makes me f*ckin' mad
I try so hard to level up
Be the good guy and still not finish last
But how life manages to spit in my face
And where I'm at right now
I can't even laugh
I know I will become from this
I hope hindsight is coming f*cking fast
Cause I'm about to f*cking snap
And I don't really wanna be the one
To break that camel's back
So I take it all breathing deep
Focusing on anything outside of me
Knowing that in the mirror I still see
Someone with enough swag
To become anything
To become anything
Anything
Persuasion is an art and skill
Embedded in my spine
I can talk a priest into a rager all night
Ensuring he is fine
A talent to influence
One with an energy high
Was always good at a sale
But it wasn't in my blood
It never felt natural
Felt like betrayal in love
Could sell you on a vacation
With the destination unknown
Could literally sell snow to an Eskimo
Snow to an Eskimo
