[Armando:]
The name’s Armando and I’m an overthinker
And tonight I’ll take the form of a binge drinker
Sedating the mess in me with expensive liquor
Nothing else kills off the static quicker
It’s a symptom of another problem, I kinda figured
But I’ve taken to giving these thoughts the middle finger
Especially when the darkest ones can’t help but linger
Till the voices in my head become a dead ringer
I’m scared my girl will leave me for someone better
Because I know deep down anyone else is better
And I know but I can’t help but sound kind of bitter
But mom and dad didn’t raise no fucking quitter
The anxiety’s got me spewing out my inner demons
In the form of Popeye’s fried chicken
I’m a diamond in the rough that’s failed to glisten
I’ve said it before you all failed to listen
Worried people think that I’m full of shit
But honestly I’m as real as I can get
Worried I’m too much of a masochist
And I’ll drive away whoever is left
Worried that I’ll never believe the myth
We aren’t responsible for others happiness
Worried that I’ll never come to admit
Some people like being around this
Scared to death things won’t work out a bit
But doing my best to handle it
Scared to death but I know better than to quit
I’m on the cusp of something more legit
I’m alive and goddammit I will thrive
Cuz life ain’t a life when you’re just tryna survive
I’m alive and goddammit I will ignite
Every motherfucker who steps to into my light
I’m patient with the process so I’m never surprised
Cuz things will flip 180 in the blink of an eye
I know life can seem to leave you high and dry
But some will be the oxygen to the spark you ignite
And if they really love you they’ll come along for the ride
Just happy to accompany someone ready to shine
If they really love you they won’t be afraid to rise
We’re all in this together, when you fly, I fly
I’m afraid happiness is more fleeting than life
So I made sure I’ve got good passengers on this ride
But I’m surrounded by love even when I’m out of line
Just gotta remember that when these doubts arrive
I think I’ve realized everything will be alright
I’m not golden but I glitter under the right kind of light
And have people who won’t downplay my might
As I make these moves, break these chains, and take these strides
