Pass out playing Zelda in my room
Construction on my street cant even move
Saw my city underwater in the news
Glad I got to see you, glad I got to know you.
And my best friend just broke up with her boyfriend.
Long time coming but she's lonely in the silence
lonely in the nighttime, pushing pulling iron
just to get my mind off catching butterflies.
My ceiling looking high, patterns memorized
delaying my demise for some peace of mind.
At least I'm writing again
resurrect this Saint
Spirit come , Amen
Met him once and now my label moved to Queens
no more letters to myself
posters, pictures, magazines,
sick of playing catch up with my dreams
stopped doing it for me
traded lyrics for the green
but they ain't happy unless
issa salary.
Lexapro ain't kicking in
but I've been eating again
catching butterflies
Post graduation blues
at least I like that color
Working for a cult
just to grab some bread and butter
for my mother and my father
tryna please them it gets harder
when the piece of paper
follows a blank mantra

My eyes been dry since February
almost blind from scratching, itching burning sanctuary
my room the color of my face when she left me buried
pulse I'm checking, heart in tact but did my feelings dirty.
7 years until I'm pushing 30
girls in their lightly colored dresses looking really perty
fiend, she could have a ring, I'd still be fucking flirtin
with a natural blonde with wavy hair but catch me surfin
Fucked up, yeah everybody gotta talk.
Backrooms, ghost on, when they closing shop.
Fucked up, why don't you shut the fuck up?
Do us all a favor please shut the fuck up.
Kissing in my walk-in closet
flowers in your straight hair poppin
Wanna trace Orlando just by walking
or is it too much to ask what's your problem?
You've been silent, you've been quiet
you've been calling out of work.
You've been staring at the pavement
longer than you really should.
Do I have to drive you to a doctor?
Did you call your mom?
Baggage baggage baggage baggage
mad mad hatter am I alice?
Cheshire killer kitty Cali
Comma, Kelly, karma come and
get me
Oh my love don't need to know
like my head we keep it low
clothes and feelings on the floor.
I wish you should
I wish I could
I wish I could be more for you.
Baggage claimed in Newark eyes
MCO did take my soul
I check my bank account is low
even though I work in cults
Father said it's time to go
my doctor plead on Lexapro
prescription pissing more than usual
yellow on my toilet bowl
Hard drive died, files on the cloud
sittin straight don't slouch
sleeping on my couch
flow so hard like flour
flowers on my bed
kisses on my crown
thorns cant touch me now.
Jesus come and go
when my hands are fold.

What's the matter babe?
What's your problem baby?
Our tongues are yours for tasting
our lips are yours for taking
pray for the holy grail
pray for your soul saving
What's the matter babe?
we live in bubbles love another perfect harmony
Flower petals, blooming summer, blushing rosy cheeks
Imagination never needed between you and me
Cant hide from the fact that you lovesick
cant hide from the fact that you love lust
what love doesnt cost like a lump sum
4 girls but u cant get enough huh
Gemini got a cop everything twice
gemini got a cop everything nice
gold chain, new whips
tight. new lips
I dont give a fuck what you feel right now
give me that \ i'll put it right down
make you feel good make you feel worthwhile
put your eyes in my head if you feel like dying.
Damn jus what a fuckin saint you really are
damn jus what the fuck you on
Golden boy, god is dead, golden sun and it's set
butteflies we trying to catch
butteflies if U forget
you dont need to love me
jus to fuck me I dont care
lose my head I'm sitting
bet my soul i'm bidding
dance with devils demons
hades is my fucking ceiling

Stopped the drinking
which stopped the fucking
from meds I've been sucking in.
Saturation on left side
walking out
on the day like
where the hell have you been?
I haven't talked to anybody in a long time
Been stuck with nikko
in his basement working all night.
Ain't seen my brothers
since the end of July
but I kinda like it that way.
Working for a cult
so I can give them more
than they deserve.
My time my time
my time is spent upon a sales floor.
Still sleep inside
the bed I laid with her
Nothing's fucking changed.
It's coming back up
and back up and back up again.
Started lifting
which stopped the biting
which stopped the writing
killed my soul.
Find it easy
go days without eating
everybody says it's so simple.
I haven't liked myself in a god damn long time
I'm in my room or in my doctor's
fuck, they're both white
and it kills my soul.
I've been hurting ever since I came home.
The lines I wrote.
And I knew I was in trouble
since my plane took off in Newark
and it landed in Orlando
International, a battle
between mind and body
bodies of a girl.
They sent me letters the same book
Southern neighbors beautiful
southern angels took my soul
wrote on pages but I choked
and I threw them in the trash
when my manager would look
and he'd mention how I never belonged
they said maybe I should stick to writing songs.
So I called an ambulance
just so I can have the chance
for a grand exclusive ride
through the city that took my eyes.
Hit my lungs, couldn't breathe
couldn't drink, I couldn't eat.
Found new love in a xan
chase it with some daniel jack
proper when I call a friend
and I needed them the most
but nobody stops their life
even when you're losing hope
And when nothing feels right
but the sound of distant
cars and a heavenly light
voices call your name to stars
And you listen and you smile
know your life has been worthwhile
so you leave it all behind
just for that eternal silence.
