I tried I really tried, I tried I really tried
I tried I really tried, but it’s back to the old me
Back to the old me
Long time coming, long time forming, deforming
(who, who, who, who) hear a who, yeah I think im horton
Summer’s gonna be so cold, so yeah I been storing
Had a lot of summers I would forage, forage in the forest
Couldn’t find no bears in the woods with porridge
Couldn’t make music and I couldn’t record it
But I’m still in the same story
I was tryna elevate, but I’d trip and fall
Don’t ask me bout the culture, I hate it all
Got a lot up in my chest, imma say it all
Talking shit for the times that I didn’t talk at all, couldn’t say none
Every time I look up in the mirror, I look less like me
That motherfucker in there don’t even dress like me
Imma take him out, I wanna strangle the fucking mirror
Imma take him out - ha ha ha, just joking, just joking
Everybody’s sleep, gotta keep tip toeing
I tried I really tried, I tried I really tried
I tried I really tried, but it’s back to the old me
Back to the old me
I must have took a wrong turn at the blanket fort
Last I checked I was three years old, maybe four
I must have took a wrong turn at the blanket fort
If I wanted something I would open up my hand and go and use the force
Went at least 18 holes off course
They took away my key, im standing by the door
Separated from the surface, seperated from the core
It’s all I think about and I still don’t know what I did it for
Evil takes what’s good and corrupts it
Evil acts like it’s nothing, like it’s something worth fucking
Worth hush hushing, worth blood gushing
Can’t rest, gotta mess with something
That’s all it’s got going, what it’s gutting
Evil’s a way of going where you’re heading, going where you get it
Fall in love with hurting and forgetting
Going where the blood’s running reddest
Oh good heaven, it can take over if you let it
What’s a few crumbs in the bedding
What’s a few heads for a wedding
What’s a couple dead friends if the world’s ending
I’m going back to the old me, I need a different ending
I tried I really tried, I tried I really tried
I tried I really tried, but it’s back to the old me
Back to the old me
