Saleka & Russ - Hiding

Wait, wait, wait
Are you creepin'?
You wanna see what time I'm on?
Wait, wait, wait
Now I'm leavin'
You don't wanna see what time I'm on

Wait, wait, wait
You wanna play that game? Well, so do I
Wait, wait, wait
You wanna hide all day, all day, all night?
Wait, wait, wait

I feel my body disappear
This night I feel so real
You're all I want, my dear, my dear, my dear

Can't breathe with this on my chest, it's gettin' dire
Please, don't make me confess all my desires
Leave me just for the rest
I can't keep hiding from myself, from myself, from myself
Hiding from myself

Perpetual punishment is what I put myself through
Lack of self-forgiveness is the reason I can't move
Shackled to the lack of reconciling with my past
I don't feel safe, I make mistakes, I need to brace for impact

When, in fact, letting go lowers the knife that I'm holding
To my own throat, but maybe I don't like that, no
Who's gon' protect me if I'm not on high alert and unprepared
Needed protection as a kid, but protection wasn't there

But I'm 30, now my dad can't be bothered to help
Said I'm 30, now I gotta learn to father myself
See the pain that I've been pushing down? It's boiling now
Tried shooting out my sad, I'm recoiling now

Tormented, tour ended but the show's not over
I got to deal with the booze from my own thoughts sober
What's my future look like without my toxic mascot?
Would they still love Russell if I take the mask off?

Can't breathe with this on my chest, it's gettin' dire
Please, don't make me confess all my desires
Leave me just for the rest
I can't keep hiding from myself, from myself, from myself
Hiding from my-myself

I'm fighting, fighting for this hell
I'm hiding, hiding from myself
I'm fighting, fighting for this hell
I'm hiding, hiding from myself

Wait, wait, wait
Are you creepin'?
You wanna see what time I'm on?
Wait, wait, wait
Now I'm leavin'
You don't wanna see what time I'm on

Wait, wait, wait
You wanna play that game? Well, so do I
Wait, wait, wait
You wanna hide all day, all day, all night?

Can't breathe with this on my chest, it's gettin' dire
Please, don't make me confess all my desires
Leave me just for the rest
I can't keep hiding from myself, from myself, from myself
Hiding from my-myself

I'm fighting, fighting for this hell
I'm hiding, hiding from myself
I'm fighting, fighting for this hell
I'm hiding, hiding from myself
