Parker Jack - Self Talk

(I know you so well, so well
I mean, I can do anything that he can
I've been pretty...)

Hey, can we talk?

No, I don't really wanna talk right now

That's okay, you never really did
I've been screaming every day, "Please, let me out!"

Hold up, let you out?
You couldn't protect yourself, I was protecting you

You were protecting me?

Yes, protecting you
Everybody in this world was rejecting you
Nobody out here could accept you

No, everyone could, except you
That's the problem that you have, man
You build walls up and hid behind the shame
And I guess that I'm partially to blame
I don't know what to say

No, explain, you're making no sense to me
It kinda all just sounds like a guess to me

Bro, your trauma made me just a memory
Ain't nobody in this world remembers me

So you wanted them to hurt you?

Man, that's not what I'm saying

Well, you basically are every time
That you told me I took it too far
And your ex left you
'Cause you're way too emotional

Man, I did what I was supposed to do

No, you didn't, the world made you hit your limit

And then I got distant

That's what I'm tryna tell you but you just won't listen

What I'm tryna tell you is we're both broken
My heart's open, yours is closing

I don't give a damn if my heart is frozen

You don't wanna be yourself?

I had to free myself
Because it just kept happening

Go see a therapist instead of just rappening
Or it'll just keep happening

You don't think I ever get tired of maskin' it?

I don't care if you do 'cause the more that you are
Means the more that I'm vanishing
And I really just want myself back again
