"Surprise!" lyrics

"Surprise!"

I'm, I'm on my third life
Looking at a razor knife
This night light got me through my childhood
Take this long route
Hoping they don't see me fit into the crowd
See, I'm always in fear they will appear
Pushing me down, yell in my ear
"You will never amount to anything"
"You should be afraid of everything"
Young boy, erasing and editing
Checking 'round corners and looking ahead of me
What if they hurt me or what if they get me?
Spent my lifetime ready and prepping

Like a
Wet steel to the knife
Like a
Bright light to the night
Like a
Kill switch to your life
I hope you think twice
I don't play nice
Open up
Surprise!

I'm, I'm on my sixth life
Looking at a razor blade
This high life, thank you to my neighborhood
This long route taught me to be strong and rise above the crowd
Always in fear they will appear
Pushing me down, yell in my ear
"You will never amount to anything"
"You should be afraid of everything"
Young boy, erasing and editing
Checking 'round corners and looking ahead of me
What if they hurt me or what if they get me?
Spent my lifetime ready and prepping

Like a
Wet steel to the knife
Like a
Bright light to the night
Like a
Kill switch to your life
I hope you think twice
I don't play nice
Open up
Surprise!

All these years, this life I've chosen
All these tears, look how they focus
Turned your face like you don't know it
But you can't say you don't notice

Like a
Wet steel to the knife
Like a
Bright light to the night
Like a
Kill switch to your life
I hope you think twice
I don't play nice
Open up
Surprise!
