Pride is the Devil Songtext
von Lewis Sycamore

I lost me
Pride is the devil and it got me
I can′t explain all the pain that it bought me
In a box with no lock key
And I can't
Breathe in or breathe out
And clear my mind of the doubt
I lost my mind for the clout
And I couldn′t figure out
What's it all about
I got lost in a drought


I lost me
Yeah I lost myself
I took the pain from the top of the shelf
In the game for the money and wealth
But I was suffering with mental health
My mind imprisoned in a mental cell
I lost me
For how long?
Will I ever get well

Only time will tell
I lost me and became
Someone else
Not quite myself

And I can't blame anyone else it is just me
Pride is the devil and it got me
I can′t explain all the pain that it bought me
In a box with no lock key
And I can′t breathe
You see I was vain with it
Lost my mind like insane in the brain with it
And I thought I could reign with it
But in truth I was trapped in chains with it


And I know
I was supposed
To start with the man in the mirror
It couldn't have been any clearer
But the man looking back at me
It wasn′t me that I'd see
It was just the pieces of me
And reasonably
I′d think the real me was deceased
Like I buried him 6 feet deep
It was peak

And I can't believe
How I was deceived
By my own mind
The things that it did to me
Egotistically
It′s like my morals were granted leave
The real me it was trapped beneath
You see I was vain with it
Lost my mind like insane in the brain with it
And I thought I could reign with it
But in truth I was trapped in chains with it

I lost me
Pride is the devil and it got me
I can't explain all the pain that it bought me
In a box with no lock key
And I can't
Breathe in or breathe out
And clear my mind of the doubt
I lost my mind for the clout
And I couldn′t figure out
What′s it all about
I got lost in a drought

Yeah I know I had these dreams as a little kid
Dreams of all the things that I wish that I did
Were they just pipe dreams is this the way it is
And when I'm thinking back to it
I think of how I quit
It makes me sick
Cause I grasped it In my hand then I let it slip
Through my fingers
Now the thought of it just seems to linger
In my mind cause I could have been a winner
Now when I look in the mirror
All I see in a glimmer
Of hope
I really wish it was clearer
It never seems to linger it just gets dimmer
I know it comes from within
But I lost me
Now I′ve gotta find myself but where do I begin

I lost me
Pride is the devil and it got me
I can't explain all the pain that it bought me
In a box with no lock key
And I can′t
Breathe in or breathe out
And clear my mind of the doubt
I lost my mind for the clout
And I couldn't figure out
What′s it all about
I got lost in a drought

I lost me
Pride is the devil and it got me
I can't explain all the pain that it bought me
In a box with no lock key
And I can't

I can′t breathe
I can′t breathe
