Javion Bishop - Tether Lyrics

See the funny thing bout time you barely feel when it’s passing
So I would rather spend my time on shit that actually matters
Life is a joke, and see the punchline doesn’t hit you till after
Now there’s the slightest touch of pain in the laugher
What really matters in this intimate catastrophe of cyclical nature
We live to suffer then we die, another human replace us
And the sensations that we feel are simply chemical make ups
And it’s the same for every living creation, ain’t that amazing
We’re far much more intelligent than other forms of life
But with that knowledge comes corruption greed and envy fill our minds
Building systems of oppression for the rest of us to fight
Fabricated your religion and restricted your existence
See the funny thing bout time is you can feel when it’s coming
Knots in your stomach won’t get far if you gone try and run from it
When you see that life more than a bussdown or a Tik Tok
And internalize the fact that this shit stops
It's therapy if I wax poetic
Question, will they ever love me? is the hype pathetic
Told you first album, you ain't get the message
Now you tethered to your past cause you can't accept it
Weight of the world on my shoulders but I ain’t maxing out
Every day we find something new to be mad about
Every night we go to sleep we like directors
Seeing visions in our dreams and we just wake up and act them out
I been putting on this mask, forgetting who I am
Javion is just fiction, I’m just a mortal man
Maybe rap is a phase until I get bored again
Feel like I’m trapped in a cage, in front an audience
Swept away by a wave, and I lost the will to swim
Putting words on the page and I wasn’t feeling it
So many problems, Ms. Carter taught me to deal with them
And if the music don’t move then we back to stealing shit
Take it or leave it this music is really me
If you choose to believe the pictures that I paint of myself
They say what’s understood doesn’t have to be explained so
Why is it I’m always explaining myself

See the funny thing bout time you barely feel when it’s passing
So I would rather spend my time on shit that actually matters
Life is a joke, and see the punchline doesn’t hit you till after
Now there’s the slightest touch of pain in the laugher
What really matters in this intimate catastrophe of cyclical nature
We live to suffer then we die, another human replace us
And the sensations that we feel are simply chemical make ups
And it’s the same for every living creation, ain’t that amazing
We’re far much more intelligent than other forms of life
But with that knowledge comes corruption greed and envy fill our minds
Building systems of oppression for the rest of us to fight
Fabricated your religion and restricted your existence
See the funny thing bout time is you can feel when it’s coming
Knots in your stomach won’t get far if you gone try and run from it
When you see that life more than a bussdown or a Tik Tok
And internalize the fact that this shit stops
It's therapy if I wax poetic
Question, will they ever love me? is the hype pathetic
