Message Man - Payday Lyrics

Stream, click one more play
Most often that's how I think
Sinking subconscious, my naïveté
I'm feel I'm nearly on the brink

Can't shake this feeling it's about me
Not art or intimacy
All in all conditionally
Faintly, you say, you say

Reblog, repost, retweet
Scratch and claw, expand my reach
Compete, deplete, exhaust till I am elite
Raise Platform and status, or content I preach?

Aware of my conceit
Feeding on these outlets like a leach
Don't seem to mind, these meals slowly kill my heartbeat
Along the line there was a breach; You say, you say

I just want my payday
Lost in my array
But in my dismay
You say, you say

I just want my payday
How do my thoughts convey
These thoughts lead to decay
You say, you say

Trust the process, obey
All in time, not today
You know My ways aren't your ways
You say, you say

Trust the process obey
All in time, seek me; I pray
Quiet my heart, mold this clay
You say, you say, you say

Propaganda and floppy green bill
What's at stake, what happens when I get over the hill
I want take a second just to breath, but I have no chill
I won't be happy, I can't be happy until

Until I acquire the prior
Lavish in someone else's attire
In my hand, a key, what I require
Perish and vanish will I inspire or retire?

Screens and waves tell me something significant
Grandeur and elegance, something magnificent
The hope of my success and fame
Promise I can fit in this frame

In this game of chess so staged and framed
Among all my stress skew aim, no tame, remain the same
Hard to Address my address, to whatshisname
Cure what may depress, set aflame, acclaim

I just want my payday
Lost in my array
But in my dismay
You say, you say

I just want my payday
How do my thoughts convey
These thoughts lead to decay
You say, you say

Trust the process, obey
All in time, not today
You know My ways aren't your ways
You say, you say

Trust the process obey
All in time, seek me; I pray
Quiet my heart, mold this clay
You say, you say, you say

But honestly Lord, what is your order?
I praise you and your glory where it feels darker
For the kids like me, when I felt alone in the corner
For kids who need to know we need not live in horror

Give hope that we can conquer
But something's missing, a chink in the armor
Maybe I left something behind inside a locker
Maybe the bravery and selflessness of a martyr

That's what you want me to do, right?
A map that I drew, beneficial for your sight
Walk in my shoe, gaze, view, despite
I die for a few, but then you bite?

I don't know if that's true, I might
Runaway I knew, this hypothetical fright
I love you, but only in the thoughts that I write
I warned you on May 4th thinking in hindsight

I just want my payday
Lost in my array
But in my dismay
You say, you say

I just want my payday
How do my thoughts convey
These thoughts lead to decay
You say, you say

Trust the process, obey
All in time, not today
You know My ways aren't your ways
You say, you say

Trust the process obey
All in time, seek me; I pray
Quiet my heart, mold this clay
You say, you say, you say
