Going Home - Spose, Sara Hallie Richardson

Fuck this shit, I’m goin' home

In the middle of the city, but I’m all alone

Me and all my skeletons, dancin' in my helmet

If this is bein' alive, then make me bones

I was s’posed to reach the apex, the mountain top

Yell down at my mom like, «Here, ma, look»

I didn’t even get to march at graduation

Got suspended stealin' money from the year—what, huh?—book

Was s’posed to have straight A’s, then I went crooked

If there is a God, I hope He’s not lookin'

I jackknifed at the fork in the road

Now the devil want a spoon, wrong turn, I took it

I had no drop top, raindrop, at the trainstop

Wish I made my brain stop, feel your person

Devil worship, always sinnin'

Never workin', head to prison

All I hear is alarms and sirens soundin' (ah)

Stress, regrets, a thousand

And all the hammerheads are poundin', all the debt surroundin'

In and out my house, and metro set the bar, forgot about it

Somebody help me

Help me

I think I need therapy

But I can’t afford it

Stressed, expectations not met

Stressed, heart ping pong in my chest

Stressed, got no real amigos, I’m offset

Stressed, all downhill like bobsled

And it feel like suffocation

I don’t think I’ll make it

'cause I had my chance and blew it, water turned to sewage

What the fuck I’m doin'?

What the fuck I’m doin'?

Everything is ruined

I’m trapped, layin' on my back

In the squalor, heart pound like English dollar

Let me smoke a bowl to calm my nerves

Whoops, didn’t work, now I’m paranoid even worse

So I text my ex’s phone just to get some dome

She said I did wrong, so she movin' on

And she groanin' 'cause I’m not grown

Took out all these loans just to feel alone

Thought I’d get a standin' ovation

Guess that was my 'magination

All of my procrastination

All this academic probation

Thoughts race like horses

I hope you’re not recordin'

'cause I feel wasted, dumb and arrogant, doubts, endless comparisons

Grades is just embarrassin', faceless young American

Nowhere to hide

Through this voice inside my mind

I just need to drown in the loud

I know this is a temporary fix

But you’re wrong

I’ve got tonight

Fuck this shit, I’m goin' home

In the middle of the city, but I’m all alone

Me and all my skeletons, dancin' in my helmet

If this is bein' alive, then make me bones

Expectations (expectations, pectations)

I thought I was gonna be a god

Would do I do now that I’m not?

Nowhere to hide

Through this voice inside my mind

I just need to drown in the loud

Fuck this shit, I’m goin' home
