everything has changed
aint it awful how nothin stay the same
the color fades
no matter how thick you cake on the paint
i keep my head down in my hometown
with the fear of bein seen for what i really am
and seein what the folks i used to know have become
what have i become
the rain came down
and i stared to the sky
and i realized that all my friends
are gettin married now or theyre dyin
and im still tryin to get out from in between
the mess you see in front of you
and the man you think that im supposed to be
who am i supposed to be
what a wicked world
the way it winds and weaves the road
takin me to places in my head
i never said i wanted to go
im havin trouble friend
and im wishin you were near
but its okay i can keep it together
i know you just couldnt be here
the whole state went under water
and i was baptized from the narcissist i once was
but i need attention more than ever
now that im losin my self and the ones i love
but that the cross i carry
and it may bury me with the weight of
trying hard not to care
but still needin all of yall to know name
what is my name
