Polaroids Video (MV)

Everyday that passes splatters paint all over the canvas
And now They're tying down my hands while slowly raising the standards
Cause it's a plan to keep the real from ever reaching the glamour
But as the moments pass I'm trapped inside a Polaroid camera
So When the pictures hang to dry then I'll find out all the answers
Then as the photos paint a portrait I'll define all my stances
So when the memories unable to describe how I managed
Then i'll just use it as a method to explain my advantage
Just Imagine, a stage full of people on my cam roll
As they're waiting for the words I write to penetrate their ear holes
So they step down to hear samples while I fiddle with the shambles
While I'm locked inside this black hole i'll proclaim my preamble
For example, let me take you back to 1996 when I was
Rocking in my crib playing Nintendo and shit
So as the photos start to correlate and sense innocence
I do admit it was a reason I learned never to quit
Now its a Photo from 2005' that year I had turned 9
But my parents separated so we drove across state lines
I was hoping for an early sign, I needed some more time
But inside I knew she wasn't ever changing her torn mind
While I analyze the pictures reading lives that I've led
The photos keep me trapped inside but still I don't feel regret
Cause thirty people died today I haven't even left bed
I think I'd rather stay inside the Polaroids on my desk

While I'm stuck inside the photos I wont fight this
Despite the struggle I just wanted to be alone
Holding off from all the problems that I might miss
I think it's better that I face them on my own
While I'm stuck inside the photos I wont fight this
Despite the struggle I just wanted to be alone
Holding off from all the problems that I might miss
I think it's better that I face them on my own

Now my Polaroids are portals as I roam deep in my mind
But when I tried to spread my wings I felt a pull on the twine
Cause every photo that I stare at starts engulfing my eyes
I guess I have to face them by myself now one at a time
So now i'm panning through the memories with tacks on the wall
You ever feel like what you want would just conflict with it all
So now Ill take advice from fortune cookies, magic 8 balls
Until I garner up the strength to search the rest of the haul
And now i'm back to the piles on the side of the shelf
And now I'm back to June seventh, Thursday night twenty-twelve
And now I'm back to smoking out with friends ignoring our health
It was a simpler time cause all we cared about was ourselves
So in the times when life controls yourself with dull responsibilities
Sometimes the real escape routes being trapped in place eternally
Some days I look through memories defining what I couldn't see
Explaining my life story while she walks away so nervously

While I'm stuck inside the photos I wont fight this
Despite the struggle I just wanted to be alone
Holding off from all the problems that I might miss
I think it's better that I face them on my own
While I'm stuck inside the photos I wont fight this
Despite the struggle I just wanted to be alone
Holding off from all the problems that I might miss
I think it's better that I face them on my own

So from location to location I'll vacate without traces
With nothing left behind except a phrase in midst of quotations
What a mysterious connection taking artists for vagrants
Leaving a picture left behind to help fill in all the spaces
So now I'm thinking about the drinks I need to make it all worse
Because the glass remains half empty when I'm slurring my words
So i'll traverse the universe out on a search for my worth
I guess I'm easily co-arced by things that hurt me the worst
So now Ill sit and stare at pictures with my high school friends
And think how bittersweet it is i'll never see them again
Stuck in the past skipping class failing all my exams
But damn I never took the time to figure out who I am
I was ignoring all their faces till I learned to embrace it
And with the shift began exploiting out a glitch in the matrix
That's why I saved a special spot for photo shots when I'm famous
Until then I'll be crafting music down the depths of the basement

While I'm stuck inside the photos I wont fight this
Despite the struggle I just wanted to be alone
Holding off from all the problems that I might miss
I think it's better that I face them on my own
While I'm stuck inside the photos I wont fight this
Despite the struggle I just wanted to be alone
Holding off from all the problems that I might miss
I think it's better that I face them on my own

Hello, are you there can you give me an answer
I swear to god I'm trapped inside a Polaroid camera
And it's really not that bad but I just don't understand bro
With everything I thought this isn't what I could handle
