Innocent dreams from my devilish thoughts
I don't paint pictures, I connect dots
You wanna hear the story? Well I can tell lots
Said she likes rap, but never from the Scots
Hands tied, riddle me this, riddle me that, son
Times up, ready to die, fatal attraction
You're on a cycle like war on the TV
I developed a thick skin for the shit that she called me
Mask off
Running in circles with the enemy
Cease fire
Give it a miss, I'm losing energy
Wants me on her arm like a band for the captain
But only show me love when she tag me in a caption
Food on the table, it's reheat
Each week, got me treading some waters that's knee deep
Can't sleep, feel the pressure when you're picking my mind
Buried deep up in the shadow where you never will find it
Rewind it
White lies stuck in my mouth now
She took it to a level I can't reach, like high-brow
But somehow, even when connection is vague
She keep me turning the page, constantly pushing the gauge
I'm all in
I think I'm really close this time
I think I'm really close this time, uh-oh
Show me what you want from me
I'm 'bout to capsize
Time stays frozen
But what can I do to relieve this pressure?
I think I'm really close this time so let me hold on
Yeah, I lost faith, I lost time
Lost friends, I don't mind
There are signs I don't see
I lost you, I lost me
There's walls I won't breach
Too high, I can't reach
I don't settle, don't rest
I'm too cursed, I'm too blessed
Too stuck, so vexed
So focused on what's next
That I can't balance another fucking weight on these pecs
I'm too loud, I'm too subtle
Too sober for a couple
I waste days in a bubble
Invite nothing but trouble
But, if they can clear some space in the room
We make it bloom like them summer months coming in June
I wrote a tune we never played
Poured it straight from the heart
But never seen the light of day
Because it never would chart, uh
No top lines or classic melodies (Melodies)
No big hooks to sink the memories
Only the ink spill from the page
With my solo acapella I'll be taking the stage
I'm all in
Either coming up or going under
I waste the days wishing I were younger
You never gave me nothing to defend
I'm just trying to send a message to a friend
And even if this came too late
I reminisce just to clear the slate, it's all love
Trying to stop the rain in the summer
I've nothing left now to discover
I'm all in
I think I'm really close this time
I think I'm really close this time, uh-oh
Show me what you want from me
I'm 'bout to capsize
Time stays frozen
What can I do to relieve this pressure?
I think I'm really close this time so let me hold on
Time stays frozen
What can I do to relieve this pressure?
I think I'm really close this time
I think I'm really close this time, uh-oh
Time stays frozen
But what can I do to relieve this pressure?
Show me what you want from me
I'm 'bout to capsize
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Either coming up or going under
I waste the days wishing I were younger
You never gave me nothing to defend
I'm just trying to send a message to a friend
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
And even if this came too late
I reminisce just to clear the slate, it's all love
Trying to stop the rain in the summer
I've nothing left now to discover
