Don't look back to me
Just keep on walking with your back to me
I want you to be happy
But I doubt that happens naturally
With people that have problems they don't understand
Steady stepping through this wonderland
Never been so alone but look at me now
I'm doing things I used to dream about
Stuck in my house
Why does nothing feel enough
The bar just gets higher
So we get higher
Material desire's make us feel
As if we're better people
You're still the same person
With the same problems
Lost but not forgotten
Lost but not forgotten
Stuck inside a system
Gotta stop to rise above em
But they hook us in with apples that are rotten
Looking sweet as candy cotton
Lost but not forgotten
Lost but not forgotten
Regardless of what's best for me, I keep trying
A part can see a light within the awkward silence
The comfort of your home will fade away in time
If you search for something more than peace and quiet
A silver lining
You say it happens naturally
But what is that to me
I don't seek advice
But wish that you'd get back to me
I don't sleep at night
I stare into the ceiling
Playing Thames Water on repeat
Fighting of the demons
Am I working as avoidance
Or is happiness beneath it
If I understand the reason
Then I'm sure that I'll achieve it.
They tell me never stop believing
You know it's right in front of you
But you'll just never see it
Keep on working
If you don't you'll hit the bottom
Lost but not forgotten
Lost but not forgotten
I said lost but not forgotten
Lost but not forgotten
But still I'm tryna find a way
To get the streams up
People that were gassing it before
Are tryna leave us
Maybe if I try more Lofi they'll like me
If I was a roadman if I was a hypebeast
Knowing that ain't me though
They're hoping that I drop the ball
On purpose like a free throw
People call me Yusuf now
Like I don't even need Joe
He's so sensitive
Blocking out my thoughts just like the censorship
Dying when we're meant to live
Crying when we're told to hit
Flipping like the samples
I am the example
Of someone tryna make it in the system
I wonder if they'll love me more
When I achieve the mission
When yellows on your television
Talking like the Simpsons
When everything in my life's kosher
Getting bare money like a poacher
Face up high on a poster
Saying I secured sippin tea
Like a coaster
See I ain't even sure if I wanna hear the answer
Would it make me take a step back like a dancer?
I asked them would it even matter
And I heard laughter
People say my time will come
But I ain't clocking karma
So do you move on with the hand that you're dealt?
Or realise that it's a matter of self?
Had to take a break from music
Just to focus on health
Seems whenever I'm not busy
I just need someone else
See the snow beneath my feet when it melts
Funny when the sun shines all the feelings can tell
Feel alone although there's many people round me
Lost but not forgotten
Yeah, but do you think about me?
I said I'm lost but not forgotten
Yeah, but do you think about me?
