The Man on My Left Shoulder - Quadeca

And when you may try

To hide away

Why do you hide away?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Why do you hide away?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Feeling like there’s no room left for me (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Feeling like there’s (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Nothing left (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

And there’s nothing more (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Used to give a fuck, that was just a old phase (Old phase)

You and me were close, now you further than the old days (Old days)

Sometimes, I wonder why I’m headed towards a cold place (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

They like, «Let me fix you», I don’t fuck with Coldplay (No)

Yeah, wish I could forget, I cannot forgive, yeah

Every step- I gotta relive, yeah

Take a breath, feel it in my ribs, yeah

Let my voice fade into the mist

(Mist, mist, mist)

Yeah!

I been talking to the man sitting on my left shoulder (Shoulder)

He said «Everything just gets worse when you’re older» (Gettin' old)

I just pulled up to the function, can’t even function (No, no)

Know nothin', I don’t know nothin' (No, no)

I’m not one of you, I said I’m not (No, I’m not)

I only fucked with you because I want a spot (Uh huh)

Now that’s what I got, but with it, went the plot (I do, yeah)

I checked the big picture, now that shit is getting cropped

Yeah, I’ve been feeling what I want is something less, uh

Feel like a sellout that ain’t made a fucking cent, uh, guess I should’a up and

left (Yeah)

But I always told myself that I’m one of the good guys (Right?)

Well, maybe that’s a good lie, yeah (Good lie, hahaha)

Everything looking like ashes- I don’t want a car, I imagine it crashes

The man on my shoulder, he told me what happens, the glass is half empty?

It actually shatters

He told me, «Don't look in the mirror without me!»

He said the world would be

clearer without me (No)

The man on my shoulder I think I believe him, I really don’t want him,

I think that I need him

Yeah

Yeah!

I been talking to the man sitting on my left shoulder

He said «Everything just gets worse when you’re older»

I just pulled up to the function, can’t even function

Know nothin', I don’t know nothin'

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

(Aw—)

Yeah!

What?

Huh?

Ayy, ayy!

(—Shit! Huh? What? Yeah)

Huh, yeah (What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Damn!

Damn!

(Yeah, yeah, huh, oh, huh, ayy, hey)

I get too happy for money, huh, they all wanna back me for money (Uh huh,

they do)

I put them hundreds all over my face, now I got acne from money, huh (Ah ha!)

I got it all in my bank, huh, I treat that shit like it’s nothin' (Uh huh, nope)

I treat that shit like it’s nothin', huh, I turned that nothin' to somethin',

huh (It's nothin', uh huh, yeah-haha)

I put them bands on my face, huh, that won’t make the man go away (No)

She put her hands on my waist, uh, but he still standin' in place,

yeah (For real)

I wish I had more voices in my head to counteract you (Huh?)

I think that’s why I have to sing about you (Yeah, yeah)

Used to give a fuck, that was just an old phase (Old phase)

You and me were close, now you further than the old days (Old)

Sometimes I wonder why I’m headed towards a cold place (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

They like, «Let me fix you», I don’t fuck with Coldplay (No)

Ayy, wish I could forget, I cannot forgive, yeah

Every step- I gotta relive, yeah

Take a breath, feel it in my ribs, yeah

Let my voice fade into the mist

Mist, mist, mist…

Yeah!

I been talking to the man sitting on my left shoulder

He said «Everything just gets worse when you’re older»

I just pulled up to the function, can’t even function

Know nothin', I don’t know nothin'

I had a foot out the door

And the other one sunk in the floor, floor, floor

I was checkin' out of the store

I wonder who I’m doing this for, for, for

I was zonin' out of my class (Y-y-y-yeah!)

I love her, but I wish that she asked (Y-y-y-), she asked, she asked

Made too many shitty songs in the past

I hope my first impression wasn’t the last… yeah

I hope there’s plenty more, I hope this isn’t the last

But if it is, do me a favor and make sure that it lasts- it lasts forever

I’d be lyin' if I said I didn’t have regrets

Even from when they thought my life forgot to matter less

I started lookin' in the mirror for my eyes, and not my hair

Realized, I’ll be alone, it do not matter if you’re there

I still feel it, I still talk to the man on my shoulder

No matter who’s hands on my shoulder, I’m the man in the corner

I know the answer, but I can’t seem to fill in the bubble

I think I need to get outta mine

I like to think about what life will be like down the line (Y-y-y-yeah!)

But that’s misleading, 'cause a line is infinite (Y-y-y-), and not about to die

at any minute

I think I love her, but I’ll never tell, I won’t admit it

And that’s my problem, I won’t solve 'em, I won’t go the distance

I’ll just regress into a mess, and so, I hope you listen

I hope you notice I’m my lowest, hope you know the difference

I said, «Let's never speak again" — maybe I spoke too soon

'Cause now these words been feelin' broken, they got no more room

They get consumed by their own dust, and leave a hopeless tune

What do I do?

Ain’t got no closure for this open wound

Ain’t got no closure

But the man on my shoulder, yeah
