I think we're meant to fall down, I'd maybe say designed for it/
And it's only then when you can choose on how your life is lived/
You could decide to stay upset about the kind of shh...that happens/
We'd all like to shift the balance when it tries to tip/
Many different things to fathom causing madness here/
A million twists tryna plan life and damn careers/
Billions facing bank arrears, realise the cancer's near/
Burying our heads and don't forget to blank your ears/
But you need to keep your spirits higher when you're losing/
Cos even Flanders had a meltdown when things confused him/
So aware of the big illusion/
Don't get suckered into that, cos it's a trap to anyone who isn't moving/
Start to lose yourself, then think 'Confucius says'/
And sink those blues away with some advice to use today/
"Our greatest glory's not in never falling down/
But in getting up every time we do', that's where it's sorted it out//
(Chorus x2)
(JND)
If you choose to be oblivious/
(You've lost yourself)
If you're taking yourself too serious/
(You've lost yourself)
And if you're saying you aren't hearing us/
(You've lost yourself)
And sometimes it's hard to tell when you've lost yourself//
(Addverse)
Well one minute I'm sky high then the next I'm not/
I try and fix it, but end up depressed a lot/
I'm straight twisted, yin and yang balance not applicable/
I'm more like a tank slapper trying not to hit the wall/
And life's difficult, sometimes impossible/
I'm climbing up the biggest hill to find another obstacle/
That’s why I'm never over it, yeah I know I'm stressing out/
Never helps to shout when what's required is a quiet mouth/
That’s why I write it down, it helps me figure stuff/
But it's pretty tough to smooth out that little bit of rough/
And stiffen up my upper lip, to see the positives/
'Specially when I'm drawing more funds than I deposit in/
I'm giving in because I’m lost as hell/
And I was up now I'm going through this dodgy spell/
And from the tears in my eyes you can probably tell/
That's why I’m looking at the skies asking God for help...//
(Chorus x2)
(Addverse)
If you're killing for religion then/
(You've lost yourself)
If it's just money that you're living for/
(You've lost yourself)
Either you fight and never give in or/
(You've lost yourself)
And sometimes it's hard to tell when you've lost yourself//
(ExP)
I lost myself in my own private life/
Decided that a 9 to 5 was by the by/
And strived to live a life that I could kinda like/
Instead of always looking through the pirate’s eyes/
One eye on the loot I desire that shines/
The other lost in fighting times/
For the sake of the same treasure that I was trying to find/
A currency I couldn't see had blinded my survival mind/
The fight or flight, reprogrammed to chasing of the paper/
Either Facebooking or favouriting some vagrant on a caper/
My phone was sacred to me mate: gave basis to be famous/
But I found myself and hate it now, creates a world of fakers/
You'll take it on a date, let it break your conversation/
Tell the world you're having fun, filter a facelift onto nature/
Disgraced that so much great stuff has faded as I saved ‘em up/
My likes, retweets and favourites, can I trade these for angel dust?!/
A social network made for us so we can paste our faces up/
Lost ourselves to saying guff, while true beauty changed to dust//
(Chorus)
(ExP)
...(You've lost yourself)
If you just posted a selfie then/
(You've lost yourself)
If you know nothing but still tell me then/
(You've lost yourself)
And sometimes it's hard to tell when you've lost yourself/
...If you're lolling at your trolling then
(You've lost yourself)
If you just posted a selfie then/
(You've lost yourself)
If you know nothing but still tell me then/
(You've lost yourself)
And sometimes it's hard to tell when you've lost yourself//
