Balloons - Tom MacDonald
Huh Ooh I miss the days when no one even knew my name Now everywhere I go I wear a hat to hide my face I got weapons hidden inside every room in my place Now I have to keep a pistol on me always just in case This is a nightmare never expected the fame To be something I would wrestle with and fight to embrace Sometimes I feel like the love I get'soutweighed by the hate I hid the tears but I can'thide from the pain I'mworkin'20hourdays can'teven lie to y'allI'mburnt out I sleep on my weight bench tryna find the strength to work out Should be happy I'msuccessful I just went and bought my first house Thought money would help cure my depression but it'sworse how Tired of it lucky I don'thave a manager 'causeI'dbe firin'him Tired of talkin'to other artists Who just wanna tell me I'minspirin'them Parents keep tellin'me they have a kid And they'rethankful the child is admirin'me Great you wanna know how I feel I might kill myself before retiring I'min the clouds I can'treach the ground They'recomin'in crowds Blew me up like a balloon and let meGo Watch me float away well I scream "no"Every time I get close they pull out their phones Like "Maybethis time we can see him explode"Blew me up like a balloon and let me go They all throwin'rocks 'causethey'retryna poke holes They wanna see me pop they don'twanna see me blow They'rethe reason that I'mgone they don'twanna see me glow Blew me up like a balloon and left me I miss the times when I could go outside I didn'thave to watch my back out of the corner of my eye I didn'thave to fake a smile and pose for pictures all the time Can'teven lie I miss when time was really mine Now I just belong to everybody else but me These panic attacks are makin'it awful hard to breathe Built a vocal booth inside the crib and stopped makin'beats Don'teven rap I stand inside of it and scream Like this is not what I expected I worked my hands to the bone And my anxiety is triggered by the apps on my phone I tried deleting them so the Internet would leave me alone But the lack of attention made me feel worse than before I'msick of it all the internet watchin'me trip when I fall Embarrassed that everyone witnesses all My illnesses in realtimeman I'maddicted to y'allRappers on Twitter don'tget me involved I'mposing for photos with fans in the mall I'mdying inside pretending I'mstrong I'mnot a celebrity I am just Tom I'min the clouds Huhuhuhuhuh I can'treach the ground Huh They'recomin'in crowds F**kBlew me up like a balloon and let meI just can'tdo this s**tanymore Go Watch me float away well I scream "no"Every time I get close they pull out their phones Like "Maybethis time we can see him explode"Blew me up like a balloon and let me go They all throwin'rocks 'causethey'retryna poke holes They wanna see me pop they don'twanna see me blow They'rethe reason that I'mgone they don'twanna see me glow Blew me up like a balloon and left me I miss the years when every Friday wasn'tspent with my therapist Then I realized I hated fame and accepted that I'mscared of it I got Ativan Cipralex Xanax and Seraquel In a Tupperware container I don'ttouch I just stare at 'emBreathin'exercises supposed to help me to cope But nothin'works quite as good as a bottle of jack and a smoke I try to focus on my breath but it gets stuck in my throat This never happened back when I was young and happy and broke I never thought I'dbe the rapper all these rappers try to be Posting twenty times a day now I don'thave no privacy Meeting with these major labels CEOs with giant teams If y'allwanna do business why are y'alltryna lie to me I'mbored of the fame Every time it feels fresh again I'mgettin'more of the same Interviewers think they know who I am They made up their mind before I explain Well because you asked so nice I guess I'lltell Ain'tbeen feelin'too hot lately Jim is there anything else Great 'Causelately every day I feel like I'mlivin'in hell I'mglad the music helps you but I might really kill myself When this magazine gets printed can you send one to my house I'dlike to own a tiny piece of me like everybody else Go Watch me float away well I scream "no"Every time I get close they pull out their phones Like "Maybethis time we can see him explode"Blew me up like a balloon and let me go They all throwin'rocks 'causethey'retryna poke holes They wanna see me pop they don'twanna see me blow They'rethe reason that I'mgone they don'twanna see me glow Blew me up like a balloon and left me Guitar score
