Tripwires by Hollis

it’s evident I’m not enough
I’m tired of the tip-tip-toeing
Stayin two steps ahead of it
Going to bed with it
All on my mind
I don’t derive any pleasure from the guilt
it’s not how I was built

I paid my dues and diligence
i’m still slipping at the precipice
I just wanna tumble down off the cliff of it
disappear into the sediment

Snip at all the little trip wires tripping me up
Tripping me up
All the little trip wires tripping me up
How’d it get so slippery

Who am I without the shame
I guess that’s why I’ve
Kept it going
Deep in the sting of it /
why did I cling to it
All of this time
I let myself go undefined
Gotta learn to draw the line

Paid my dues and diligence
Made a mountain of my discontent
now I wanna tumble down off the cliff of it
disappear into the sediment

Snip at all the little trip wires tripping me up
Tripping me up

Learning who I am, not just what I'm not (x12)
