FRAGMENTS from Treehouse 3 by FOR REST!, Esgua & workinprogresss

[verse 1: for rest]
why do i struggle, life got no purpose
deep in the woods and my phone got no service
meds everyday got my family nervous
i'm drowning in issues, i can't see the surface
i can't reach out for help
steady reaching for these pills on my shelf
i'm over medicating, hurtin myself
i feel like i'm startin to melt
i can't change what i've done
and i know my momma wish for a better son
weight on my shoulders it feel like a ton
repaying my sins i just wish i was d-
i just wish it was over
can't close the curtains i still need my closure
i know that the end drawin closer
i'm stuck at the bottom, can't get any lower

[chorus: workinprogresss]
in my mind, i follow you
you show me what i can do
no point in giving up
but still, you dropped the phone

[verse 2: workinprogresss]
let the water run cold, i keep on drinking til my thoughts are slow
fuck the pandering road, i still cant trust where my body will go
pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and i'm still alone
how can I trust my potential with scars on my mental and wordless resentment i hone?
panic calls back when i think i lost it
you don't mean shit, you just skirt across it
hold down smoke till the pains exhausted
pressing deep down til i lose grip
with cuts on my lip, close to my wrist
i'll never ever go where i know i cant commit
there's no turning back now, better run quick
cause the past is the past and the future don't exist, bitch

[chorus: workinprogresss]
in my mind, i follow you
you show me what i can do
no point in giving up
but still, you dropped the phone
fall (far)
when the comet hits the shore (far)
in the calm before the storm (far)
i know you'll see the world in us (far)
when the comet hits the shore (far)
in the calm before the storm (far)
i know you'll see the world in us (far)
when the comet hits the shore (far)
but you wish and wish for more (far)
i know you'll see the world in us (far)
when the comet hits the shore (far)
in the calm before the storm (far)
i know you'll see the world in us (far)

[verse 3: for rest & workinprogresss]
i gave my blood to the game, i can't give anymore
why would i get up, just to end right back on the floor
arguing with myself, my personality torn
thoughts raining in my head and i'm stuck in the storm
every time i get on stage, i don't know how i'll perform
i don't know if i can do it, i might pull out the chord, uh
put myself on show and i still end up ignored

bitch i'm double-track lonely, triple sec on me
stumble through the crowd and i'm still missing sorely
shit could slip away if you ever drop poorly, huh
so i gotta stay hungry
paid by the ugly, flashing lights on me
stumbling out the club with my head on the floor
pressure lies bluntly, hated by my conscience
i'm falling to my knees at the edge of the shore

[chorus 2: workinprogresss]
where did you go?
where did you find?
where did you remind me where we were? (i'm lost)
it's not too late
to hesitate
you'll grab what your mind can't say to me
where did you go? (where did you go?)
where did you find? (where did you find?)
where did you remind me where we were?
it's not too late (it's not too late)
to hesitate (to hesitate)
you'll see that your mind can't set you free

[verse 4: esgua]
another spill on the scene
i had a dream, one day you might leave
sixteen off trees, drive down with the sticks and leaves
wind look yellow, brown, orange offa trees
postman leaves
open the letter, that i received
too scared of these motions, i intervene
i'm sorry for everything, that i don't see
feeling free, and i put it on play

heard my enemies moved away
heard my best friends away
can you stay put please?
cause all I got are fragments
and all I got are fragments
this house is just a fragment
that path is just a fragment
but you walk down and, uh
can you walk down and grab it?
people leave, houses burn
but what stays true is you
