lyrics

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
