Verse 1
Never felt like this
One blink, what the hell I miss?
I might have died and gone to hell I guess
Probably left behind one hell of a mess
I spent a couple years in a free fall
When it all went wrong, I don’t recall
Treatin’ people like a playground, woke up wrong side of the seesaw
Damn, what was the plan again?
I just can’t understand, like it’s all written in Mandarin
I gave a tip to the camera man, like “get my good side”
He said “ain’t nobody that talented” ugh
I’m not a shark just a hammerhead
Heading right for a brick wall
Two worlds collide, my light and my dark side
Right then I drift off like…
Hook
Yeah we all get lost in the days between our dreams (selective memory)
And the parts we forgot are much larger than they seem (selective memory)
It weighs on you, like deja vu, the world seen through my (selective memory) x2
Verse 2
Tryna get away with murder, huh?
Gettin’ awful nervous, huh?
Try another angle… yeah, now you’re caught up in a Bermuda
Feel like I lost my purpose, perchance it’s an opp to purge this
For each burnt bridge I’ve crossed a new crop emerges
But I’m scared I do not deserve it
At least I’m earnest, I need to earn it
I need to feel like the dream is worth it
I need to go deep, beneath the surface
I need to feel like you’re right here with me now
I need to see your hands over the crowd
Scream like tomorrow I won’t be around
‘Cuz honestly, no future promises, the past is all we had in common
That’s where nostalgia lives…
(Hook)
Outro
Lie back in lilac, my head gone don’t mind that
See my life in timelapse, right before my eyelashes
