Tunnel Vision Songtext
von Russ

I, I think you′re captivating
I, I, I think you're captivating
I, I, I think you′re captivating

Yeah

It's not the time to pump these brakes
I don't care how much I love her or how much money that I′ve made
That wasn′t the goal, it never was, I'm tryna see what my zenith is
What it looks like to believe in strength in all of my weaknesses
Inconveniences are hurdles, discipline jumps over
I wanna see how it feels to do twelve months sober
I wanna feel self-love without the vanity (the vanity)
I wanna feel what it be like to give a Grammy speech (a Grammy speech)


I wanna see exactly how far I can take this independent thing
How high can I fly if I just learn how to extend my wings?
What would it be like to be patient? This is a "Me" thing
What would it be like to stop shamin′ myself to victory?
So when I win it doesn't feel defeating, that′s why I'm leaving
I′m seekin' constant improvement
I don't have kids, but I fostered a movement
The journey′s the treasure, if I ain′t movin', I′m losin', for real

I′ve been (I've been)
Pridin′ myself on all of my patience (patience)
Pridin' myself on all of my diligence
Pridin' myself on all of my curiosity
I know I′ma get far if I work hard (get far)
Givin′ shit up that I fuckin' love to death (to death)
When we called it quits, I was a fuckin′ mess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I gotta stick to my decision (yeah, yeah)
Got that tunnel vision, baby (yeah)

If I give up on myself, that's givin′ up on the universe
In return, it gave up on me, no more signs, no more new alerts
I be haunted by, "What if I went after what I wanted?"
Daydreaming 'bout that nightmare is what prompted
Me to keep it goin′, I'm determined to see
What life would look like as the best version of me
I want a body that look sculpted like a statue
I wanna not respond to everything if I don't have to


I wanna heal the trauma from my childhood, I′m pissed off (pissed off)
I wanna learn to snap less, and use Wim Hof (Wim Hof)
I wanna celebrate myself instead of waitin′ for others
I wanna be a better friend, better son, better brother
I wanna stop thinkin' that I gotta go through hell
To get the credit, I desperately need to give to myself
Across the board, I wanna see what my best is (yeah)
I wanna prove it to myself that I can get this tunnel vision

I′ve been (blinders on, I've been)
Pridin′ myself on all of my patience (patience)
Pridin' myself on all of my diligence
Pridin′ myself on all of my curiosity
I know I'ma get far if I work hard (get far)
Givin' shit up that I fuckin′ love to death (to death)
When we called it quits, I was a fuckin′ mess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I gotta stick to my decision (yeah, yeah)
Got that tunnel vision, baby
