Map of Moments

Song Lyrics

By Jaded | Pleasured (Ay! Eye Muse, Productions. Tired/Toxi)Published 3 months ago 1 min read

[Verse 1]

There have been things asked over time

"If you died today, what would you leave behind?"

And for me, that's a bit hard

If you ask, "Why?"

Be prepared for the harsh truth,

Cause it's not soft,

It's not simple,

There is no cleaning it away

[Chorus]

I'm but a map of moments

Lost in the faces of those

Who had no intentions

Of remembering me,

(Map of moments)

So, I ask in return,

If I am a map of moments

Who remembers me still hidden in the dirt?

[Verse 2]

While being forced to be small

But told you, took up too much space

Asking for the bare minimum

It was a game of Russian roulette

With my emotions

And I'm not ready to face that again

Being partially here while also

Being imprisoned inside your own mind

Plays a toll

When caught on the line of

Reality and fictional living

[Chorus]

I'm but a map of moments

Lost in the faces of those

Who had no intentions

Of remembering me,

(Map of moments)

So, I ask in return,

If I am a map of moments

Who remembers me still hidden in the dirt?

[Bridge]

Do you know how it feels,

Constantly losing pieces of yourself

Trying to keep everyone else afloat,

Knowing they are only here for a short time,

Cause being committed is too hard

For others to follow along with the program

I'm left to drift as they pull away,

Without giving me a warning

So, here I sit,

Holding a map of moments

With missing pieces,

[Bobm Solo with notes of Marimba]

[Outro]

I'm but a map of moments

Lost in the faces of those

Who had no intentions

Of remembering me,

(Map of moments)

So, I ask in return,

If I am a map of moments

Who remembers me still hidden in the dirt?
