Ashes

You burn your bridges down
‘Til they're ashes in the lake

I lie awake
Did you wonder what's at stake?
With you there is no give and take
Just fake
The things that you could make
But instead I watch you break
And burn your bridges down
‘Til they're ashes in the lake
You burn your bridges down
‘Til they're ashes in the lake

Reduced everything to rubble
You know you're seeing double
If it isn't any trouble
May I ask why such the struggle?
Grab your keys it's that kind of day
What's on your mind when you hit the freeway?

I lie awake
Did you wonder what's at stake?
With you there is no give and take
Just fake
The things that you could make
But instead I watch you break
And burn your bridges down
‘Til they're ashes in the lake

On the bank
Sift through the ashes in the stream
I don't know how you extinguished all the life inside your dreams
Look around to find what's left of your esteem
You didn't have to set a blaze all you had to do was think

You didn't have to set a blaze all you had to do was think

I lie awake
Did you wonder what's at stake?
With you there is no give and take
Just fake
The things that you could make
But instead I watch you break
And burn your bridges down
‘Til they're ashes in the lake

You burned your bridges down
Now they're ashes in the lake

GHOST

(You don't look like her, she look like you, 'cause bitch you bad)

Now I watch you crash out
Drifting corners whip the skyline to my new house (skrrt)
Bitch you left me for
Surprise, surprise
It's done now (no way)
Said I'm nothing without you
Joke's on who? (what? you?)
Said I kicked you to the curb
I just
I just took the trash out (byeee)
Ghost in my DM requests you want me back now (nu-uh)
Laments on the rocks, you drink 'em 'til you pass out (ooooh)
Careful throwing petty stones from your glass house (kssshhhhk)
Are you sad now?
I'm never coming back now

(yuh, yuh)

Lil too late babe
I watch how you spin it
It's funny how your demons take you down before you win it
Burn the bridge down to the ground so you can't visit
Keep your drama
I'll keep my distance

I turn pressure into diamonds
An empire from your silence
While I bleed from all my scars
I etch it with my stylus
I moved on, you moved around
We ain't the same
You know I'm timeless
Know I got my hangar now 'cause baby I'm the pilot!

3, 2, 1
Now I watch you crash out
Drifting corners whip the skyline to my new house (skrrt)
Bitch you left me for
Surprise, surprise
It's done now (no way)
Said I'm nothing without you
Joke's on who? (what? you?)
Said I kicked you to the curb

I just took the trash out (byeee)
Ghost in my DM requests you want me back now (nu-uh)

Vertigo

I couldn't let it go
Think I was getting jaded from the things I know
Lies flowed out, like heaven from your mouth
You gave me vertigo

So what if I don't wanna start over?
Think myself into a mess
'Til I find some closure
Filled up to the brim what I kept in is spilling over
I was taking part
Now I'm taking over

I'm the favorite one you're never getting over

How many nights did I stay up?
Hanging on to words
Should've known were made up
I'll still climb when I'm scraped up
Say what you want
I'm on my way up

Since you like to talk
Yeah you can tell your friends (tell your friends)
The way you hate me's a reflection of your lens, right?
Turn the corner and I peel out in the benz like (skrrrt)
Who needs enemies when you got friends like
Who needs enemies when you got

So what if I don't wanna start over?
Think myself into a mess
'Til I find some closure
Filled up to the brim what I kept in is spilling over
I was taking part
Now I'm taking over

I'm the favorite one you're never getting over

Pushed me 'til I broke
So don't wonder anymore
I won't take that (take that)
Play on my compassion
It's a fake act (fake act)
I believed the best while you did your worst
I got burned
Yeah I hate that

So what if I don't wanna start over?
Think myself into a mess
'Til I find some closure
Filled up to the brim what I kept in is spilling over
I was taking part
Now I'm taking over

I'm the favorite one you're never getting over

I had to let it go
Think I was getting jaded from the things I know
Truth flowed out, like heaven from my mouth
I gave you vertigo

The Yellow Wall Made Me Say It

Dakara 2025-04-04 | Sometimes you pass a yellow wall and just can't help yourself.

This isn't a real Genius interview - it's my rendition of one. In it, I talk about my new song Vertigo, what inspired the making of it, and some of the things it taught me about letting go, holding on, and everything in between.

If you've ever felt too much, stayed too long, or needed a reminder that you're not alone in it... i hope this feels like a safe place for you.

Thank you for coming on my journey with me.

Forever

Tell me what's your baseline
Is it long hair and a waistline?
See it on your face, I don't waste time
Should be careful what you say through the grapevine

I'm lost when I look back
It was the way we laughed
All the nights sleepless
Tell me what's your weakness
Thought there were oceans up ahead
When they really were between us

You taught me how
I'm better off without
I don't like the way you always keep me down
You've got a lot to say for someone not around
Caught me in this hell
I'll do this by myself
I don't like the way you
Blamed me for the things you felt
You always tell me how
I don't need you now
I'm better by myself

Tell me what's your baseline
Is it long hair and a waistline?
Couldn't hit the brakes, crossing state lines
Rather stay away than live the same lies
I'm lost when I look back
Is nothing meant to last?
All the nights sleepless
Tell me what's your weakness
Thought there were oceans up ahead
When they really are between us

You taught me how
I'm better off without
I don't like the way you always keep me down
You've got a lot to say for someone not around
Caught me in this hell
I'll do this by myself
I don't like the way you
Blamed me for the things you felt
You always tell me how
I don't need you now
I'm better by myself

You taught me how
I'm better off without
Want you to know I'm grateful for
All the things I felt
All the things I felt
Want you to know I'm grateful for
All the things I felt

Grew to hate each other
Mistake it for love
Wait by the bridge
Watch it burn up
Airplane mode every time you call up
If you love me forever
Why do I hate you so much?

These days
I don't wanna feel stuck
When we look back
Sunsets between us
Screaming in the whip when I pull up

If you love me forever why do I hate you so much?
If you love me forever why do I hate you so much?
These days I don't wanna feel stuck
Screaming in the whip when I pull up

If you love me forever why do I hate you so much?
If you love me forever why do I hate you so much?
These days
I don't wanna feel stuck
Screaming in the whip when I pull up

If you love me forever why do I hate you so much?

Colorblind (demo)

Are you growing tired of existing in your past
Are you paying mind to the way we burned and crashed?
Yeah, that's not what I asked
I said to put me first, you made a point to put me last so

Do I gather cobwebs in the dark inside your mind?
Best dressed in gilded gold, why so colorblind?
Are you making severed pieces part of your design
Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time

Hear you now, crying loud, screaming how I've changed
Things don't really work like that, nothing stays the same
I place all your good qualities and put them in a frame
I lowered all of my defenses, that's when you took aim

Are you growing tired of existing in your past?
Are you paying mind to the way we burned and crashed?
Yeah, that's not what I asked
I said to put me first, you made a point to put me last so

Do I gather cobwebs in the dark inside your mind?
Best dressed in gilded gold, why so colorblind?
Are you making severed pieces part of your design
Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time

Blast went off then another and another
I found myself eluding you, trying to take cover
When it grows too much to bear, I watch you slam the shutters
Made so many sacrifices so we wouldn't suffer

Are you growing tired of existing in your past?
Are you paying mind to the way we burned and crashed?
Yeah, that's not what I asked
I said to put me first, you made a point to put me last so

Do I gather cobwebs in the dark inside your mind?
Best dressed in gilded gold, why so colorblind?
Are you making severed pieces part of your design
Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time?

Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time?

Stainless

You're not hard to read
Dust off niceties
Guess I believed the things I wanted you to be
Took the corner street
Drove to the end
Skipping all the pages
Just to see how long you would pretend

Doesn't matter how I rearrange it
Trying to sort it out
Find some meaning in torn pages
Am I sad or relieved that we're strangers?
Don't think you know how to love you hate in stages
Doesn't matter what you say nothing changes
All the polish in the world won't make us stainless

All the polish in the world won't make us stainless
All the polish in the world
Don't owe you a reason why

Don't wanna let you in
You let yourself out
Stowing demons in your floorboards
Gonna need a bigger house
Evicted all the thoughts inside your head
Furnishings gone they all moved out

It's not hard to read
Skip the frivolities
Guess I believed the things that I wanted to see
Took the corner street
It's a dead end
Missing all the pages
I'll never find myself out here again

Doesn't matter how I rearrange it
Trying to sort it out
Find some meaning in torn pages
Am I sad or relieved that we're strangers?
Don't think you know how to love you hate in stages
Doesn't matter what you say nothing changes
All the polish in the world won't make us stainless

All the polish in the world
Make us stainless

I don't know you anymore
Part of the past now
Keep lying through your teeth
Even you believe your act now
Play it over on repeat
Everyday you black out
Don't owe you a reason why I'm not coming back now
Don't owe you a reason why I'm not coming back now

Don't owe you a reason why

FOREIGN

Guess it's all foreign
Like the whips that sit outside
Blacked out all the windows
I won't let you in my mind
I'm still trying
Make it right inside
Peel out going nowhere
I just
I just need to drive

I can't breathe
With all of this uncertainty around me
Left me on the edge
Your talk is so cheap
Tell me what's the difference if I can't sleep
If I can't sleep
Would you tell me?

I just wanna drive

Guess it's all foreign
Our connection's slippin'
Can we put things back together
With so many pieces missin'?
Don't talk
Can't take what you're dishin'
Can't run your mouth and listen
Don't you hear me when I tell you that

I can't breathe
With all of this uncertainty around me
Left me on the edge
Your talk is so cheap
Tell me what's the difference if I can't sleep
If I can't sleep
Would you tell me?
Should I keep my distance to feel complete?
Silence crumbled walls we built with concrete
Rubble forms the lines that you're crossing
If I got in my car would you stop me?
If I got in my car would you stop me?
If I got in my car

If I got in my car, would you stop me?

Breathless

Waiting for my flight
You don't even know you're doing it
Nothing's ever right to you
I swear you always ruin it

If I go up in the world
It means we're going down?
You don't say a thing
When I leave town
Done all of this for you
Now I want out
I don't think I have words to say now
Hope you know this time
I won't turn around
Looked one too many times
Don't look back now

Looked one too many times
Don't look back now

I guess
I could name all the nights
And why I've been so restless
Let me walk away
Yet you fake that you don't understand this
Hope that every day
You miss me on replay
And it leaves you breathless
Leaves you breathless
I still leave you breathless

Waiting for my flight
You don't even know you're doing it
Nothing is enough to you
I swear you've always proven it

Goin' up in the world
Guess I won't see you around
You don't say a thing
When I leave town
Done all of this for you
Now I want out
I don't think I have words to say now
Hope you know this time
I won't turn around
Looked one too many times
Don't look back

I guess
I could name all the nights
And why I've been so restless
Let me walk away
Yet you fake that you don't understand this
Know that every day
You miss me on replay
And it leaves you breathless
Leaves you breathless
I still leave you breathless

I could name all the nights
And why I've been so restless
Let me walk away
Yet you fake that you don't understand this

Bittersweet

Someone needs to tell the truth
So I called your bluff
Giving all the reasons in the world won't be enough
I went over and above
Don't appreciate the things I do
I'll give you none

Stuck inside your ways
I've been up for days
Everyone around me always talks and acts the same
I'm sick of wasting breath on all the things you'll never change
You can't make me bitter
I don't wanna be that way

Someone had to break the cycle
Here's where you get off
You weren't meant for my whole journey
Just a couple stops
Yeah I can't turn back the clocks
When the keys no longer work
It's time to change the locks

Stuck inside your ways
I've been up for days
Everyone around me always talks and acts the same
I'm sick of wasting breath on all the things you'll never change
You can't make me bitter
I don't wanna be that way

You can't make me bitter
I don't wanna be that way

Don't have to lie
I know
You kept me from the truth
Had to drown you out of my mind
'Til you were dilute
Don't you ever just get sick of having an excuse?
Didn't want what's best for me
Like I did for you

You didn't want what's best for me
Like I did for you

Stuck inside your ways
I've been up for days
Everyone around me always talks and acts the same

Someone needs to tell the truth
So I called your bluff
Giving all the reasons in the world wont be enough

I went over and above

Stuck inside your ways I've been up for days
Everyone around me always talks and acts the same
I'm sick of wasting breath on all the things you'll never change
You can't make me bitter
I don't wanna be that way

You can't make me bitter

TV

Time check
It's really 3am?
Sitting on a rooftop
Drinking with my best friends
That's just how it happened

We stay up late
Talkin’ ‘bout our dreams
Trying to make sense of what everything means
You smile at me
When you started comin’ ‘round
I really should have led you out

Look down
Driving 110
Wheels in my head spin again and again
I don't have to let you in
I don't need love and I don't need friends like
I don't need love and I don't need friends like
You

Time check
It's really 12 o’ clock?
Are we trying too hard to be everything we’re not?
You make me out to be something I'm not

We stayed up late
Talkin' ‘bout our dreams
Said you couldn't wait
To hear me on tv
You stare at me
When you started comin’ ‘round
I really should have led you out

Look down
Driving 110
Wheels in my head spin again and again
I don't have to let you in
I don't need love and I don't need friends like
I don't need love and I don't need friends like
You

Now you see me on your phone
Yeah you see me on your tv (tv)
(See me on your tv)
You're right
Guess I didn't need you
(Need you)
Guess you didn't need me

Better split ways
Looking for corners to place all your blame
Fine with the fact we don't speak much these days
What's left to say?
How could I miss you?
Peace is expensive
Why would I stay?
Why would I stay?
Whoa

Look down
Driving 110
Wheels in my head spin again and again
I don't have to let you in
I don't need love and I don't need friends like
I don't need love and I don't need friends like
You

Frostbite

All these years
We've got nothing to show
There wasn't any pause before you let it close
Turn the gears
Sense the padlock close
I’ll seal it all away with the things you'll never know

I don't know what to say
So I sit here and I wait
Just how many days
What difference does it make?

Don't know why I thought I'd melted years of solid ice
Don't want things the way they've always been a thousand times

Testing water in the stream
I don't feel anything but cold
Are we moving fast or standing still
I just don't know
Tell me how I build
On fragments that we broke
Just didn't have the will
The last time that we spoke

I’m looking for the answers
They aren't there to find
Trying to thaw the splinters of me
Frozen in my life

Can we just put this aside

I don't like the way it’s
Crystallized inside my mind

All these years
Has it led us to this route?
You'd think we'd have the answers
For the questions we ask now

Flooring creaks
Frost settles in the house
My icy words accumulate
The second I breathe out

I don't know what to say
So I sit here and I wait
Just how many days
What difference does it make?

Don't know why I thought I'd melted years of solid ice
Don't want things the way they've always been a thousand times

Testing water in the stream
I don't feel anything but cold
Are we moving fast or standing still
I just don't know
Tell me how I build
On fragments that we broke
Just didn't have the will
The last time that we spoke

I’m looking for the answers
They aren't there to find
Trying to thaw the splinters of me
Frozen in my life

Can we just put this aside

I don't like the way it’s
Crystallized inside my mind

All these years
Between I notice space
It doesn't seem to matter what I think of you these days

‘I don't love you anymore’
I just can't say it

Colorblind

Are you growing tired of existing in your past?
Are you paying mind to the way we burned and crashed?
Yeah that's not what I asked
I said to put me first you made a point to put me last so

Do I gather cobwebs in the dark inside your mind?
Best dressed in gilded gold
Why so colorblind?
Are you making severed pieces part of your design?
Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time?

Hear you now crying loud screaming how I've changed
Things don’t really work like that
Nothing stays the same
I placed all your good qualities and put them in a frame
I lowered all of my defenses that's when you took aim

Are you growing tired of existing in your past?
Are you paying mind to the way we burned and crashed?
Yeah that's not what I asked
I said to put me first you made a point to put me last so

Do I gather cobwebs in the dark inside your mind?
Best dressed in gilded gold
Why so colorblind?
Are you making severed pieces part of your design?
Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time?

Blast went off
Then another and another
I found myself eluding you trying to take cover
When it grows too much to bear I watch you slam the shutters
Made so many sacrifices so we wouldn't suffer

Are you growing tired of existing in your past?
Are you paying mind to the way we burned and crashed?
Yeah that's not what I asked
I said to put me first you made a point to put me last so

Do I gather cobwebs in the dark inside your mind?
Best dressed in gilded gold
Why so colorblind?
Are you making severed pieces part of your design?
Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time?

Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time?

Do I give this shit a rest or give it one more time?

House of Cards

Careful giving second chances
That you have to earn
I'm stacking cards into a house that's made of all these words
All there is is silence on the other end I heard
How’m I s’posed to read between the lines when they are blurred?

I don't know
I don't know if all of this was worth it
Chasing you around the city while you burned it
I sat on that vacant line and I was searching
Disconnected for some time and now I'm certain
The grass is only greener ‘cause it’s fake
I don't give my time away for you to waste
Do you love the idea more than the real thing?
What you don't repair today you will repeat

In times of crisis
We sport masks that we let go
It's not just what you say
It's what you do and what you don't
The ivy on the siding is completely overgrown
I used to have a lot to say
It's not my shit to own

I don't know
I don't know if all of this was worth it
Chasing you around the city while you burned it
I sat on that vacant line and I was searching
Disconnected for some time and now I'm certain
The grass is only greener ‘cause it’s fake
I don't give my time away for you to waste
Do you love the idea more than the real thing?
What you don't repair today you will repeat

Now I know
Now I know all of this was worth it
There were a million things I had to come to terms with
Built my structure up from everything that burned me
Farewell to my fake friends they don't deserve me
I can't look the other way it's got me circling
All because of a page that I'm scared of turning
Don't know why I'm so afraid it isn't working
Count me out
Count me out

Now I know
Now I know all of this was worth it
Sold out stadiums baby yeah I earned it
Found a home inside myself so I'd stop searching

Sapphire

Do you still have the ring?
I hurt you so badly I can feel it sting
I was just waiting to talk not listening
Took for granted all of what you did for me
Did for me

Should I apologize?
Am I wasting it on deaf ears?
Is it really worth the tears?
Is it wise?
Are we looking too far back now,
Should we look back?
Look into your eyes
I see skies of sapphire
Ignored the barbed wire
I don't want anybody else

Do you still have the key?
You can unlock all the secret parts of me
Read the chapters no one else has dared to read
Took my breath away and then I found meaning
Found meaning

Should I apologize?
Am I wasting it on deaf ears?
Has it been too many years?
Is it right?
The place and time we have now
Should we look back?
Look into your eyes
I see skies of sapphire
Ignored the barbwire
I don't want anybody else

Do you still have the ring?
I hurt you so badly I can feel it sting
I was just waiting to talk not listening
Took for granted all of what you did for me
Did for me
Did for me
Did for me

Grey Matter

I don’t know what the fuck I missed
How am I only breathing to exist?
How am I
How am I
How am I?

I am not a person
I’m a function
I'm just sorting out the mess that I'm wrapped up in

Scattering debris
I think I lost a piece of me
Searching for the cause of my destruction

I’ve been wasting all my time
Thinking way too much
Yeah I gotta rest my mind
Eyes
Eyes are set on blind
I leave what's left behind
Fuck ‘em all
Focus on my grind

I've been on the outside lookin’
Lookin’ at the effort that I put in
Goin’ up they wanna get their hook in
They don't know the shoes that I stood in

I don’t know what the fuck I missed
How am I only breathing to exist?
How am I
Faking more than I admit
Sick of taking more when I should quit
Guess I'm over taking risks ‘cause

I’ve been wasting all my time
Thinking way too much
Yeah I gotta rest my mind
Eyes
Eyes are set on blind
I leave what's left behind
Fuck ‘em all
Focus on my grind

I've been on the outside lookin’
Lookin’ at the effort that I put in
Goin’ up they wanna get their hook in
They don't know the shoes that I stood in

Psyche

Yeah you drift on the line you don't like me
All your friendships they woven so tightly
Thought I’d found someone like you just like me
But you spite me
Mess with my psyche
And all your friendships that judge
They can bite me
Think they know me but that is unlikely
Fuck with bands you be fuckin’ with my life see
But it's fine right
‘Cause you're just like me?
You're not

Vices always scattered
Like nothing ever matters
You should own your shit
But you're always up in tatters
Always in the midst before the ashes scatter
Tryna get away you got me climbing up the ladder

That's just the way it is
The way it fits
The cost it is
Another fight and sitch you're in
At the cost of what is nice
Not always easy to do right
Hope that someday you find value in

I don't know what’s better
Is it leaving you alone?
Acknowledging the shit you do
Is it answering the phone?
Tired of the games you play
I'm just tryna be alone
Never had frostbite before I'm colder than I've ever known

Yeah you drift on the line you don't like me
All your friendships they woven so tightly
Thought I’d found someone like you just like me
But you spite me
Then try to write me
And all your friendships that judge
They can bite me
Think they know me but that is unlikely
Fuck with bands you be fuckin with my psyche
But it's fine right
‘Cause you like me?
Or not

Vices always scattered
Like nothing ever matters
You should own your shit
But you're always up in tatters
Always in the midst before the ashes scatter
Not even looking back I’ll be climbing up the ladder

That's just the way it is
The way it fits
The cost it is
Another fight and sitch you're in
At the cost of what is nice
Not always easy to do right
Hope that someday you find value in

I don't know what’s better
Is it leaving you alone?
Acknowledging the shit you do
Is it answering the phone?
Tired of the games you play
I'm just tryna be alone
Won’t let the word potential be etched upon my tombstone

Dormant

I act every time like I never saw it coming
You don't see a thing
You're too busy running
Denying all the bad you do
Won't make it fade to nothing
All the words I say to you
Won't amount to something

I wonder all the time
Should I just leave it alone
Can’t see the whole picture
I pick up the phone
Even though you've drained me
Down to the bone
Don't need your approval
I can make it on my own

Don't need your approval

On my own

Oh another night
You left me on read
Maybe it was a favor
Based on what you said
Your mistakes they bled
The ego often fed
I won't let you rent any space inside my head

Lost Cause

You’re a lost cause
You wouldn't even recognize me
I’m not the same person I was
Didn't mean to drop jaws
If you see me wait just stop and pause
Better know I’m just awaiting the applause
This life’s got me paranoid
Lookin’ for something sufficient I know to fill the void
Surrounded by silhouettes
Good and a bad choice
The best things in life are the ones you can't destroy

Do you spend too much time with people who quit?
Don't click?
Who never make the most of it?
Guess you could say I'm sick of it
That's it
I wanna see color in my world not just shit that’s dimly lit

Do you spend too much time with people who quit?
Don't click?
Who never make the most of it?
Guess you could say I'm sick of it
That's it
I wanna see color in my world not just shit that’s dimly lit

You ever wonder the colors on display?
You’ll get them if you simply allow them to paint
But show restraint
You may wanna use the brush to decorate
Staining over the tracks is still covering all the mistakes
Let them speak to you in the only way they can
And they must
If your floods ‘bout to give way
Remember it’s okay if you have to step away
Sometimes an empty canvas is the only way to breathe again

Do you spend too much time with people who quit?
Don't click?
Who never make the most of it?

I wanna see color in my world not just shit that’s dimly lit

Forget Me Not

These days when I come around
You don’t act the same you act different now
Said you’d never change
Never let me down
You can run away
You won’t forget me now

These days when I come around
You don’t act the same you act different now
Said you’d never change
Never let me down
You can run away
You won’t forget me now

Forget me
Forget me not
What a plot twist to miss
It seems that you forgot
I tossed the petal
Couldn't see things level
Stop
It's not worth it when you settle

Fool me once
Can’t fool me twice
If you can't run your life
I can’t follow your advice
This is my life
Won't pay your price

These days when I come around
You don’t act the same you act different now
Said you’d never change
Never let me down
You can run away
You won’t forget me now

These days when I come around
You don’t act the same you act different now
Said you’d never change
Never let me down
You can run away
You won’t forget me now

I said you won't forget me now

Full up to the brim with excuses
Always going on about how you couldn't do this
You trip yourself
And you blame the bruises
Rather take my time and put it in my music

Full up to the brim with excuses
Always going on about how you couldn't do this

And you blame the bruises
Rather take my time and put it in my music

I could call you up but I don't see what the use is

These days when I come around
You don’t act the same you act different now
Said you’d never change
Never let me down
You can run away
You won’t forget me now

Non-Friction

I’ve watched you rot away for years in the grave that you made
You dug the hole yourself you didn't need any aid
Cry for help unheard
It's not even audible
You’d rather bail before having to deal with an obstacle
But let me tell you something
Dealing with life isn't optional
Mountains are only speed bumps if you believe you're unstoppable
For you to take your part
I think that's improbable
You're too busy believing that your life isn't possible

You're in now you're out
Will you make a decision?
It’s exhausting the way you talk
But you never seem to listen
Are you sore from pointing fingers?
You're the one that needs fixin’
If we’re relying on your memory
I think that it's shot
You’d argue all night long
Just to tell me it’s not
You already won the lotto
Why you playin’ the slot?
Yo I just don't have the energy and if I did it's for naught

I’ve watched you rot away for years in the grave that you made
You dug the hole yourself you didn't need any aid
Cry for help unheard

Dealing with life isn't optional
Mountains are only speed bumps if you believe you're unstoppable

What If It’s You?

So tell me are we washed up?
You so far behind that you truly never caught up?
Could never keep it locked up
Could never see the light
You keep thinking that I fucked up

So what if it isn't me,
What if it's you?
Who can never see a single kind thing that I do?
Proved all day I was your ride or die
But it's apparent to me
You didn't want the person by your side to feel alive

I could hardly sleep
How many days has it been
In my bed listening to Peep?
And the words you speak
Never match the promises you seem to make
Or the ones you keep
And you always sweep
Everything done under the rug
Like it'll never get too steep

I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna think
Barely wanna be
I just wanna fall asleep

So tell me are we washed up?
You so far behind that you truly never caught up?
Could never keep it locked up
Could never see the light
You keep thinking that I fucked up

So what if it isn't me,
What if it's you?
Who can never see a single kind thing that I do?
Proved all day I was your ride or die
But it's apparent to me
You didn't want the person by your side to feel alive

I could hardly sleep
How many days has it been
In my bed listening to Peep?
And the words you speak
Never match the promises you seem to make
Or the ones you keep
And you always sweep
Everything done under the rug
Like it'll never get too steep

I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna think
Barely wanna be
I just wanna fall asleep

So tell me are we washed up?
You so far behind that you truly never caught up?
Could never keep it locked up
Could never see the light
You keep thinking that I fucked up

So what if it isn't me,
