the love lost in river city - eli the guy lyrics

[intro]
the child is still in pain
do*do*do*dah*dah, ba*do*do, bah*ah, do*do, ba*da*ba*da*da (mmm, eli, look)

[verse]
lately can’t shake it, undermedicated, hate because it’s easiest (do*do*do)
speaking out of anger, all my lane, i’m in the median (dah*dah, ba*do*do)
defensive when i’m speaking, since a child, been disobedient (bah*ah)
always had spite, but had trouble when receiving it (do*do, ba*da*ba*da*da)
always had strife, pops told me not to bleed in it and keep it pushing (do*do*do*dah*dah)
watch closely while i bleed, come and peep the footage (ba*do*do)
watch closely while i bleed, it’s deeper than the recent pеace (bah*ah, do*do, ba*da*ba*da*da)
this is relief, thе years are holding on
pr*ne to loath and loss, closing off, couldn’t tell a soul (do*do*do*dah*dah)
i was only eight when trauma called, sharks was all inside the water, blame myself, it’s all on me (oh, do*o*o*o)
i was only a child, felt something was wrong with me (do*gon*do, went to*)
felt i had to be the toughest, overcompensating (do*do*do*dah*dah)
had to keep running, i could never have that conversation (ba*do*do)
lashing out at dumb sh*t, filled with anger, no justification (bah*ah)
had to be the toughest, all the product of that situation (ba*da*ba*da*da)
can’t break the walls, feel like they’re breaking me (do*do*do*dah*dah)
i was only eight, i can’t keep blaming me (ba*do*do)
never that easy though, these walls, years in the making, breaking free (bah*ah)
it feel impossible, these walls are part of me (ba*da*ba*da*da)
defense mechanisms is volatile, trauma crawling on me (do*do*do*dah*dah)
wasn’t strong enough to stop it though, trauma crawling on me (ba*do*do)
left me unrecognizable, left me inside the matrix with tribulations and trials (bah*ah)
distorted self*image, the blurry picture to file (ba*da*ba*da*da)
the smile is always a frown when your world upside down (do*do*do)
cause a ruckus, hiding behind the tears of a clown (dah*dah)
when i drown, i was only a child (oh, do*o*o*o)
inside these shark*infested waters, i got lost in the wild (do*gon*do, went to*)
mmm, river city
tell me what you’re looking for, what do you desire (oh*do*do*dah*dah)
rock designer just to look important, what you tryna hide (ba*do*do)
on my own i keep it pushing, tryna heal my inner child (bah*ah)
false grin crooked, try our best to wear its smile (ba*da*ba*da*da)
everybody been hurting, seen some sh*t they never talk about (do*do*do*dah*dah)
a cold as closed curtains, in these jordans, gonna walk them out (ba*do*do)
struggle being open, felt some sh*t i never talk about (bah*ah)
i was just a child, with innocence and a lost and found (ba*da*ba*da*da)
i was just a child when neighborhood tried to hawk him down (do*do*do*dah*dah)
ain’t n0body found him, unresolved, wish i could find him now (ba*do*do)
now a n*gga grown, try that sh*t again, i’m stronger now (bah*ah)
now that n*gga grown, try that sh*t again, i’m* uh (ba*da*ba*da*da)
now i’m twenty*two, through the years, the tears fall (do*do*do*dah*dah)
so many knuckles bruised from wishing you was the wall (ba*do*do)
so many petty scuffles at school, fights in the halls (bah*ah)
lashing out for all the times that i felt too small (ba*da*ba*da*da)
even still i’m insecure (do*do*do*dah*dah)
lashing out at homies, n*gga save your reassurance (ba*do*do)
i’m destined to be lonely, n*gga i was just a kid, and still a child because of it (bah*ah)
finally it’s time to stop running unconfident (ba*da*ba*da*da)
cause we all was only children with innocence in the lost and found (do*do*do*dah*dah)
we was only children when neighborhood tried to hawk him down (ba*do*do)
ain’t n0body found him, unresolved, wish we could find him now (bah*ah)
now we all grown, try that sh*t again, we stronger now (ba*da*ba*da*da)
mmm, mmm (do*do*do*dah*dah, ba*do*do)
i was just a child, with innocence and a lost and found (bah*ah)
i was just a child when neighborhood tried to hawk him down (ba*da*ba*da*da)
ain’t n0body found him, unresolved, wish i could find him now (oh*do*do*dah*dah)
now a n*gga grown, try that sh*t again, i’m stronger now (oh, do*o*o*o)
mmm, now a n*gga grown, try that sh*t again, i’m stronger now (do*gon*do, went to*)
[outro]
cause when you hit a certain age you start to reflect (do*do*do*dah*dah, ba*do*do)
you hit a certain age in life, man, you start to reflect (bah*ah)
and then you start looking back on all them things you thought mattered (ba*da*ba*da*da)
and you start yo realize none of it did (oh*do*do*dah*dah)
because the only thing that mattered was your personal happiness (oh, do*o*o*o, do*gon*do, went to*)
your sanity, your ability to deal
and the rest of this sh*t is just sh*t
it comes and goes
all of that f*cking sh*t comes and goes
the only things that mattered was your personal happiness
