Easier
[Verse 1]
Am I really sad or is it just a character?
I know I wrote "The Peak," it didn’t help me break my barriers
Repeat myself more than a broken record
I need to lay down because my head hurts
On my phone, I’m all alone
I’m all alone 'cause I’m on my phone
I refuse help, though I need it
Better, I don’t wanna be it
[Chorus]
And I know this isn’t what I wanted
But it’s easier anyway
I’d rather take less stress over success any day
[Verse 2]
Yeah, walk myself home, go into my basement
I’ll never make it, it’s time to face it
No promo - no label, you
Think I should put in the work and I don’t think I'm able to
Open up logic, slacking off, should stop it
Two albums a year and I still got fear
That I'm not working hard enough, hard drive’s got a lot of stuff
I could put out but I don’t, what’s up?
Probably end up cancelled, I don't mean Slowthai
Try to get into the industry, but I don’t know guys
The only one I knew I blew, I hated him and I still do, a cult of meditation medication, stuff that I’ve been through
I’ll do what I want, won’t do what I can
Rather do this on my own then start another band
Jealousy’s a killer and he hurts me all the time
Why should I share what I think should be mine?
[Chorus]
And I know this isn’t what you wanted
But it’s easier for both of us, yeah
I'd rather feel safer 'cause when I’m with you, I can’t trust you
[Bridge]
Tryna go forward, tryna keep moving
Keep tryna win, but all I'm doing's losing
You claim that I'm useless - I’m proving it
Making fun of you is fruitless, why do I keep doing it?
Paranoid of everyone around me, is it my doing?
I cut everyone off who could help me, am I improving?
Tryna experiment with my music, I’m teething
I’d rather be playing an instrument than breathing, yeah
[Chorus]
And I know this isn’t what you wanted
But it’s easier for both of us (both of us)
I'd rather feel safer 'cause when I’m with you, I can’t trust you
Ay
And I know this isn’t what I wanted
But it’s easier anyway
I’d rather take less stress over success any day
Yeah, hey
