Look, Save Me

From It Was Only 4 Years

Released on May 31, 2022

Written during a period of extreme loneliness in college, Look, Save Me is a raw confession about desperation, ego, and the need to be seen. Told from the perspective of someone unraveling under isolation and self-doubt, the song confronts validation-seeking & emotional numbness.

Lyrics

Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’m
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’m
Maybe I’m not okay
Maybe the life that I’ve been given is simply a lie
If I touch down on my grave
Would I pick up dirt or your light?
My decisions, your permissions
I simply cannot get them right
Must be the stench, it comes from my eyes
I don’t give disguise

Ultrasound on the abdomen
My greatest hobby has turned me to pieces
Running 2-2 around a 2-0-0 got me looking weak and
Now I’m back with Sirish
My PT pushing P like elitist
He trynna fix me 
Injury bitchy, it got a mind of its own
PT got a brain of his own too
8 times the size of mine
He’s the smartest nigga you could ever find
Ask your doc, I promise his girl done hit his line
Broly brain just had his first kid
He and his bae are no consummate
But he ran a 4-0 round life just to get here
He almost 40…shit

Where does that leave me?
I’m almost 23
And I don’t see no end in sight to the pit of this loneliness
I’m losing empathy
Bitches will tell me don’t look
Father says pick up the book
Both of them give me advice
They say I’m young and I’m restless
I’m young and reckless
I’ll drive a car off a cliff for attention
(Gimme your looks, Gimme your looks)
(Gimme your looks, Gimme your looks)
Give me the swipes, the supers, and platitudes
I don’t wanna hear shit ‘bout my attitude
It’s ‘bout my ego and I need to prop it
If I’m alone then I’ll use them to profit
At 4-0 I’m splitting like Moses
I’ll look like a mufuckin’ prophet

Look at me

Look at me
Look at me
Look in my eyes
Do you feel guilty yet?
Validate me or drop to your knees and repent
Just look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Tell me I’m right
I know you smell it, yeah
Desperation
It carries a toxic scent
Look at me
Look Look
Look at me
Look at me
I’m am the prize
Open me up and give me a reason
Hop in my box ‘cause you I’ll believe in
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Save my life
The noose is tight on my neck
But I don’t wanna die alone again

Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’m
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’m
Maybe I’m not okay
Maybe the life that I’ve been given is simply a lie
