"Wax Poetic" lyrics

I've been tongue tied
Down and out these days
Words don't come easy these days
Hand on the pen, let the ink run dry
Rather say nothing
Keep what little piece of mind I've got
Nurture this little piece of zen I've got
And say a prayer for all the friends I've lost
'Cause I ain't fluent, no Shakespeare
I got trouble making clear
The things that I feel

'Cause sixteen ain't enough
These emotions piling up
Neck deep in thoughts, need bailing out
Bars running out, need more
'Cause sixteen ain't enough
'Cause this sixteen ain't enough

Trippin' over words I ain't even said yet
Vivid nightmares got me waking up in cold sweat
Troubleshooting, over thinking, the ship is sinking
Yelling, seem nothing is cutting though
Gotta wonder if I'm speaking things clearly now
Only want to make you care the same about it
But I ain't fluent, no Shakespeare
Having trouble making clear
The things that I feel

'Cause sixteen ain't enough
These emotions piling up
Neck deep in thoughts, need bailing out
Bars running out, need more
'Cause sixteen ain't enough
'Cause this sixteen ain't enough

Wish that I could wax poetic
Paint a Picasso with these words like Kendrick
I'd be spitting off the dome in the moment
Flowing like water, words and poems I'm composing
This symphony that I'm composing
Going in

'Cause sixteen ain't enough
These emotions piling up
Neck deep in thoughts, need bailing out
Bars running out, need more
'Cause sixteen ain't enough
'Cause this sixteen ain't enough
