It's OK To Open Up feat Murkage Dave

lyrics

It’s okay to open up
But who’s going to slay this monster
That comes out when I open up
There’s a thing in the open
There is a thing that we don’t discuss
Bad actors on every platform
I’m in the quiet coach spitting this crud
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not

People telling me their problems but I got my own
They’re thinking that I’m open but I’m really closed
But I never show it on my face so you wouldn’t know
I don’t feel like anybody cares I should of known
Tell them all my secrets then I’ll feel exposed
I only feel my feelings when I feel alone
Do they read between the lines when I do my posts
Me & my close friends ain’t even close
I just talk to myself I’m the one who really knows
Bro I might die here on this hill I chose
I tried to speak my truth but i chocked
Feelings unsettled like my home ain’t a home
Demons just ran through hair like a comb
Why can’t I just be free & let it go
I ain’t got the energy for anything
but my sense of self
is what I feel like I’m losing the most
Am I losing control?

It’s okay to open up
But who’s going to slay this monster
That comes out when I open up
There’s a thing in the open
There is a thing that we don’t discuss
Bad actors on every platform
I’m in the quiet coach spitting this crud
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not

The roads are asking
Is he single?
Big decisions need making
& I notice
The more depressed that I get
The more the sweet ones are on me
I swear I swear I swear
I recognise that face
It could be an app…

I haven’t forgotten none of my pars or losses
Happened time after time & they thought I wouldn’t clock it
Jesus Christ I’m making prayers for the profit
They asked me if I’m good & lying I’m being honest
Sitting here fighting my thoughts & I wasn’t on it
Broke down I need AA like alcoholics
I don’t want to tell them my thoughts coz their shocking
I don’t feel comfortable anywhere anymore
Im in the corner with my hands balled up in my pocket
What’s done is done & needs to be left there
What did you have to go through to get here?
Scared of the people I love most
So I keep em close to my heart like chest hair
I don’t wanna share & don’t want to open up
They only say they love us
so they can hold it over us
I was so drunk off the lies I had to sober up

It’s okay to open up
But who’s going to slay this monster
That comes out when I open up
There’s a thing in the open
There is a thing that we don’t discuss
Bad actors on every platform
I’m in the quiet coach spitting this crud
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
It’s all fun & games till it’s not
