Comfort Death from Shadow Work by Phillip Saint John

Lyrics
(Hook):
Been a little while of a comfort death
I'm numb to stress I'm under pressure
I feel like getting out the car for a longer rest
But I can't slow down 'til I get me somewhere
Been a little while of a comfort death
I'm numb to stress I'm under pressure
I feel like getting out the car for a longer rest
But I can't slow down no I can't slow down now
(Verse 1):
Twenty-something aging,
I don't just close no i'm burning full pages
Work got my head-soup stirred now i'm anxious
I can't hear gods voice nor be creative
Should i make content full-time live a life online?
Word of mouth spreads like fire through the grapevine
Selfish, I see them get theirs can I take mine?
Really I just wanna hit the breaks 'til I'm fine
(Pre-Hook):
I know I'm here for more than this
I'm frozen while giving all I can give
It's been
(Hook):
Been a little while of a comfort death
I'm numb to stress I'm under pressure
I feel like getting out the car for a longer rest
But I can't slow down 'til I get me somewhere
Been a little while of a comfort death
I'm numb to stress I'm under pressure
I feel like getting out the car for a longer rest
But I can't slow down no I can't slow down now
(Interlude):
Man... I just need to take some time off or something
but I don't know If i can
(Verse 2):
I was the news one day and I sang some songs and went home
8 months later out at some function someone told me they saw me that's all.
They didn't give me praise or attention just happened to mention
my robes they remembered it left me empty and so
I had told myself.
I can't make songs to be liked but to know myself
All the knowledge in my pen I can hold that wealth
I'm so tired of the fence that I'm on get help
but when i'm broke and behind when there's no one else
to give comfort I'm unsure and overwhelmed
(Pre-Hook)
I know I'm here for more than this
I'm frozen while giving all I can give
It's been
(Hook):
Been a little while of a comfort death
I'm numb to stress I'm under pressure
I feel like getting out the car for a longer rest
But I can't slow down 'til I get me somewhere
Been a little while of a comfort death
I'm numb to stress I'm under pressure
I feel like getting out the car for a longer rest
But I can't slow down no I can't slow down now
Can't slow down no I can't slow down now
