No Longer Do I Care

from Why Not? by Frank John James

/

lyrics

No longer do I care, it's too much effort
You act like you care and pretend you've become better
So don't judge me, pretending to embrace me
Rejecting the qualities I'm composed of, don't face me, face you
Taste truth, spoken in our actions
In our interactions I've saved you, attempted
Failed you, I blamed me, wonderin' who saves me
It's like I'm drowning, and you tossed me a gun now you failed me
Or so I thought I failed me if anything
And realized through contemplation how it shapes reality
Broken a fallacy provided by the king
Knowing everything's affected by every bird when it sings
So I'm perched on the edge just singin' my tune
Trynna blend with the sound that the bird do
Heard you and tried to bridge the gap it was a risky proposition
You made me choose sides the moment you broke mission

I'm missin' you but I'm missin' truth, and I'm missin' truth because
I'm chillin' with you, I guess we don't share the same interests
So I try to be more interesting
I'm really trynna help but are you listening?

Are you with me? I'm tempted to ask for proof
I shouldn't expect anything I ain't the one to answer to
You could do your thing while I try to figure mine out
The difference with one another is whether we in a hideout

My solitude is everything when I'm feelin' all alone
Movin' thought to thought I must remember I still got a home
I got love and because of that I trust me
As the dust settles I know everybody loves me
I must eat, consumption of the purest things
If I wanna recreate my structure to another being
A higher being capable of higher actions
What mind and spirit consume could distort passion
Not just the physical, easy imbalance
I'll sip out of the river please, you could keep the chalice
I'll take the challenge please I wanna feel alive
If you wanna see it first then I wanna be the guy
A year later I don't know if it's the right thought
All I feel is pressure just constricting like a python
That ain't healthy and it ain't gon' help much
It wasn't til I let go that I finally felt touched

I felt rushed no respect for the process, a prequel
Not all steps are created equal
Some are fast some are slow all are necessary
Apart from the last one, results may vary
Was very crushed every time I thought of givin' up
Now I see the difference in the moments when I'm gettin' stuck
Calm, relaxed, here for my brethren
I gain strength every time I take a breath in
I am integrated, usin' all my gifts
Creativity's the strongest one I use to uplift
From the plants to the arts, to a human with a heart
In the womb of the woman I will never be apart from
I kiss the dirt, I lay in the grass
And I let my kids play where I know the fun will last
The sun will last so let's act like it
The Earth provides for me, so I stand by it
