Eclipse

Yeah, it all started when the lights went out
Ears ringing from the sound of the crowd
No clue to what they're singing about
He's got an upset stomach from the sub when it pounds
And now he's daydreaming in the nosebleeds
But never had the self-esteem to make a first leap
He wasn't confident but if you looked closely
He had what it took when he started making his first beat

It took a couple
A couple long nights, a couple red eyes
A couple moments he began to let the dream die
Then with his own eyes
He saw the dead rise
Now he can make a room jump
With his hands tied

The worst part is that he doubts himself
Keeping people happy that surround himself
So it don't matter if he had a Grammy on his shelf
He's still a kid who's tryna be someone to everyone else, yeah

I'd have it all, and I'd still know how to cry
I'd have the starts and learn to block out the sky
Maybe I'm wrong to try and cover my eyes
Cover my eyes
Don't let it eclipse in my mind

Fast-forward, I was 17, living out my daydreams
But 25-thousand in a crowd didn't save me
Room packed and they're screaming
But it isn't any louder than the voices tryna change me
And I'ma change it all regardless
Out of fear for the day when the rooms go silent
Another day in the darkness
And believe me when I say I got it down to a science

Why do I do this to myself?
Block out your light for something else
Why do I do this to myself?
This time I need your help

I'd have it all, and I'd still know how to cry
I'd have the starts and learn to block out the sky
Maybe I'm wrong to try and cover my eyes
Cover my eyes
Don't let it eclipse in my mind

Don't let it eclipse in my mind
