My ears are wide open
But I can't hear a thing y'all saying
No I can't hear a thing y'all saying, no
(I can't hear a word)
My eyes are wide open
But I can't see a thing y'all doing
No I can't see a thing y'all doing, no
(I can't see a thing)

Woke up, still drunk
Went to sleep turned up
Keep pressing these buttons but I’m running out of luck
I was too short for this, I was too short for that
But tell me why my wall got a NCAA plaque
I know what I said, they work this much as I rush this on ‘em
But since I own ‘em, best believe I show ‘em
But how’d I get ‘em? Cuz I don’t know that either
I’m hardly a believer, I was stronger back then a leader

So gone, so gone (No I ain't coming back now)
So gone (No I ain't coming back 'round)
So gone

Every day’s something new, what I do now, am I wrong, am I right?
But in my right mind I’m just trying to lead my life into the right light
I should stop right there
Let the beat run, let the bass pump, let it go up, up in the air
Let it go up, that’s where I wanna be
Success right? That’s what I wanna see
But who am I kidding? I’m so behind I’m in front now
And all the kids working hard in front, wow
All these girls want is boys
And all the guys want is roids
We all trying to get big, I’m just trying to get signed
But every day that pass, I just tell myself I’m running out of time
I procrastinate, sit in my bed and write songs like this
As if this right here’s the type of track to get me signed and shit
I’m fooling myself, I’m a fool with it
I’m a kid at heart, acting like a big shot to look cool and shit

So gone, so gone (No I ain't coming back now)
So gone (No I ain't coming back 'round)
So gone

I open up my ears, but the world stays silent
I can't hear a word
I look for inner peace, but my soul just writhes in violence
So I take on the world
I try to take a hold of my life, but like blood on a knife it's
Just dripping away
I'm up on the stage with the mic in my hands
All eyes on me, but there's nothing to say
I'm just trying to get ahead, cuz I've lost my mind
Wax up my skin but I just can't shine
Wanna give it up, but I can't unwind
Cuz you can't resign if you ain't been signed
I've been trying to define a word with no meaning:
Life, man there ain't no meaning
Lost my voice, but I can't stop screaming
An insomniac who can't stop dreaming
Shatter my windows, smash down my walls
Just trash all my shit, man to hell with it all
Man I can't even write, cuz my pencil keeps breaking
It's like a sugar rush, man I can't stop shaking
Try to touch down but I can't find the pavement
Work so hard but it ain't worth payment
Take off my mask and it feels like I'm faking
I'm melting away like the arctic glaciers
Man what's it gon take? Even in an earthquake I can't catch a break
Put my life at stake, but I serve it up raw
Even on a hot plate, man it can't be thawed
Blowing out candles on a burnt cake
I've been trying to look clean with a dirt face
They say that I'm gone
Man I was never here in the first place

So gone, so gone (No I ain't coming back now)
So gone (No I ain't coming back 'round)
So gone

My ears are wide open
But I can't hear a thing y'all saying
No I can't hear a thing y'all saying, no
My eyes are wide open
But I can't see a thing y'all doing
No I can't see a thing y'all doing, no
