Calico - Halfway (Reflection) Lyrics

Yeah, real talk
I'll wreck these stages
Yeah
Haha

Yeah, a lot of us struggle
They dont really wanna
But their souls are troubled
They just really wanna find
Peace and love
Or maybe they're like me
And wanna stay in their rut
No
I made this album for a reason
Reflection is the only way to see
Your freedom
You gotta fight this pain
The one and true healin
CALICO wanted to be freed
So they freed him

I went to so many people for advice
They told me how to live life
But they were depressed themselves
You cant even sell
The bad thoughts it dwells
Words can't explain what feels like hell
Or maybe they can
Pain suffering death and no lifespan
That's what my mind felt like
2 years ago
But now I'm back and ready
To help the people at death row

With suicidal thoughts
You want them to smile everyday
And pretend that their pain is no more
What are you looking for
Yeah what are you looking for
You want them to smile
You want them to laugh
Then you find out that they put on a mask
And then you get mad
You really don't understand
You do not understand
No

I have seen so many kids
Slitting their wrists
What do you want from them huh
A smile? a laugh
They do not want to exist
No
Some of them have come up to me
Begging for help
This society has ruined these kids
You're making them feel like hell

I was one of these kids
I was one of these kids
Thinking I should never exist
Just crying and suffering
And thinking that I will never fit in
These thoughts come in the millions
Thinking they will always be alone
I want this nation of people to listen to this
Cause this will hit home

I've been through the mud
Don't get me started
I've hated and waited
And prayed for a day
Where I planned to be departed
If you get what I mean
But don't be disheartened
I aint the type to be quiet
I do not care what they think
I do not fear in the silence
I fear in the nothing
I just got God with me
I will never be quiet, no

I found a purpose and that was my music
Money? Fame? Girls? It's so stupid
I write for the people who say their excluded
My name will help and motivate the included
Chas west is my name
I will make it known
I promised myself
Now it's written in stone
I'll never forget
When I was down and so low
I'll rise again
No respect for low blows

Our minds are so different
Overthink at the slightest
Thing people say
It's not fun
Not the brightest
But most of the time
We are always the wisest
One step ahead
Our brains are just the ripest!
We know when they're lying
We know when they're fake
We know cause our brains
Are just always awake!
"You're a mistake"
"You're a mistake"
That's what we think
On the daily
Not great

Tears in their eyes as they're crying
It hurts to watch
It hurts to see with no help
But that's exactly what I went through
When they said they won't be any help
That's what they said
That's what they said
I was completely alone for 1 year
To scared to say anything
So I just put on my mask
And wiped all my tears

You're not a mistake
You're here for a reason
I know that I can't convince you
I know that I can't convince you
But God gave me a gift
And I'm ready to speak it
I beat the fear
I beat the fear
I stabbed it
And jabbed it
My hand is now bleedin
I'll fight for you guys
I'll fight for you guys
I'll take this crowd
From seein
To believin

You're not alone
You're not alone
These are more than just words
These are more than just words
This is why I made CALICO
This is why I made CALICO
Ya hear me
I SAID DO YOU HEAR ME

Do you hear me
Do you hear me
Do you hear me
Do you hear me
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Do you hear me
No you don't
Yeah I do
No
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
