Eli "LE" Lesser - LE - Stigma ft. Kayla Diamond lyrics

[Verse 1] The phone rings loud, she remains in her chair alone Like she's anchored down, she sits stares n' moans Same sweat clothes she wears, never does her hair But this ain't seasonal it's every day of the year She feels so rotten everything goes wrong when Her head starts throbbing, she's too weak to sob then Her stomach fills up with this heavy hopelessness She tries to stay strong so hard to cope with this She's really got to wonder if she'll make it to thirty Lately that bottle of pills been getting quite flirty Voices tell her to end it she refuses to quit But that's like climbing up a mountain with a backpack of bricks She tried to tell a friend who replied to s** it up He said "I get sad too, just be more tough Now snap out of this chick cause enough is enough Don't be so down in the dumps" Yo, that outlook's corrupt [Chorus] Where'd you go? Why'd you leave me? You call me weak ,you call me needy It's not a choice, you won't believe me I'm human like you, what I'm going through this isn't easy [Verse] Flips his pillow several times as he lies in bed He never gets to sleep so his eyes are red A flurry of worries and his mind's upset And sprinting in circles he often cries n' sweats Tosses and turns, turns and tosses he gets so stressed Stares at the clock for eight hours till it's time to get dressed In a daze the whole day, you could tell he's a mess Represses cause of stigma n' pressure presses his chest Takes slow walks at night as he strolls past the park People tell him that he's bright, he feels so dark Dry mouth heart pounds from a basic conversation Can't hold down his lunch before he gives a presentation Feels uneasy never gentle, chews hard up on his pencil With the devil yes he wrestles without refuge or temple He can't share this pain he holds it in daily His friends would call him crazy boss would label him lazy [Chorus] [Verse] It's hard for us to hear it, these people's soundless screaming Staring at the sky thinking that there is no meaning A million miles from help drowning in this stream of demons Inner bleeding is the reason they ain't sleeping in the evenings People need to be loved they hate being judged They need to be hugged and hate being shoved But the media portrays them as violent sideshow psychos Which only keeps them silent and worsens the whole cycle Could be someone you love, someone key in your life You know the ones who make you laugh are sometimes crying inside? Even stigmatize themselves, won't reach for a**istance Would you not go to your doctor if you had a bad sickness? All these generalizations cause discrimination Individuals' damnation with no hope for salvation Individuals cause they aren't all alike So see them for who they are drop the stereotypes [Bridge] This pain inside me well it confines me I feel so far away even when you're beside me It gets so dark in here with these scars and these fears Will this pain define me?
