Vested Interest by Brandon Wilson and Eric Pedigo

I’ve tried once twice three times to be
Stronger than I in moments seem
Like when I
Told you I wanted to leave

 So I stood turned and packed all my things
Walked through the door looked down the street
When I freeze
Stay a couple more weeks

I’ve said it eight nine ten times or more
The second I know I’ll stand up for sure
But I don’t
So I watch as the scene it unfolds

As the audience
To the life I been living
It’s common sense
To make it all different
But these habits
They’ve a vested interest in me

So I’ve pushed pulled pried at the seams
Trying to rip out the thread that’s tied me
To the three
Shy hesitant weak

I’ve looked in, out, and all the way round
Trying to find that something that’s holding me down
I don’t know how
Cuz it don’t make a sound

As the audience
To the life I been living
It’s common sense
To make it all different
But these habits
They’ve a vested interest in me
