Hyperventilating Abstract (Ft. Ivan B & YONAS)

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Seventeen with a pen and a pad
Writin' out my life, makin' sense of my past
Tryna find the light through a sensitive mask
I don't take it off 'til I'm deep in the track
Speakin' to myself, just reflectin' off of the page (Yeah)
Who knew the passive kid was just good as passin' the rage? (Yeah)
Off into a song so it couldn't live in the cage
That sat upon his shoulders just hiding behind his face
Back when it was simple, before it was a job
Before the expectations, before I knew the odds
Back when it was just a broken heart I had to fix
Now I'm scared that I've been broken since I made a couple hits
Fans want me to fly but they keep me on a leash
Fears of losin' me to a level that they can't reach
This the life I chose and they tell me that I'm a beast
But all I wanted was the beauty, all I'm searchin' for is peace

[Chorus: Abstract]
Can someone help me catch my breath?
My heart is beating out my chest
Hyperventilating
I thought I was waitin'
On someone to save me
But I'm findin' lately
All I can count on to not drive me crazy
Is being right here for the person who needs me
But holdin' myself up, it ain't been too easy
