i am the target i’ve been trying to reach
but all of my verses feel shallow to me
the only words i believe in are too painful to speak
make my trauma a collar pulled so tight i can’t breathe

if i work hard enough, i can get out of this town
while all of your parents are just flying you out
give my honest opinion, put your head in the ground
if you want explanation, i’ll be shutting my mouth
but i play games to make being broke feel fun
wondering how much money can i waste this month
spill my guts to the cashier while she’s ringing me up
i could go back to california anytime that i want

i am the target i’ve been trying to reach
but all of my verses feel shallow to me
the only words i believe in are too painful to speak
make my trauma a collar pulled so tight i can’t breathe

i wanna hurt you and make you feel bad
and then have a breakdown and show you that i'm sad
but i know i won't do that cause that's kinda dumb
make discussion, tell you where i'm from
i get so frustrated every day of the month
cause i'm not getting all the attention i want
doesn't help it's been so long since i made a new song
yeah it's been so long, yeah it's been so long

i am the target i’ve been trying to reach
but all of my verses feel shallow to me
the only words i believe in are too painful to speak
make my trauma a collar pulled so tight i can’t breathe
i am the target i’ve been trying to reach
but all of my verses feel shallow to me
the only words i believe in are too painful to speak
make my trauma a collar pulled so tight i can’t breathe

don't take it serious
i've been doing so bad lately
don't take it serious
i've been doing so bad lately
i've been doing so bad lately

i am the target i’ve been trying to reach
but all of my verses feel shallow to me
the only words i believe in are too painful to speak
make my trauma a collar pulled so tight i can’t breathe
i am the target i’ve been trying to reach
