Lyrics

Know how to charm up a stranger, know how to clean up the kitchen

Know how to cook up a banger, know how to sit here and listen

One thing I can't seem to figure is how it all spose to fit in

So you can see I been fractured, leave you to pick up the pieces

Maybe its all be give-and-take, just as simple as you think

Not as magic as you wish, but not as tragic as you make

Cause every time I live on passive, feel like nothing happening

Then the second I get active, I get thrashed at rapid pace

Concussed and lose the feeling, usually used to guide my way

Convince myself I'm healing, really feel myself degrade

Struggle to maintain my vision, as I babble endlessly

Now I feel like I'm demented, only certain things will change

But the pain keep getting deeper, like the lines drawn on my face

And the further back I'm reaching, then the further back I'll stay

Wish I could just leave a piece of me, for future me to take

but I stay and guard the memories until rot away

I'm rooted in the simple route that everybody takes

and every time I'm branchin out another node will break

I thought I figured something out, knowing bout give and take

But until I learn to go without, I'm just exchanging fates

Know how to charm up a stranger, know how to clean up the kitchen

Know how to cook up a banger, know how to sit here and listen

One thing I can't seem to figure, is how it all spose to fit in

Know you can see I been fractured, leave you to pick up the pieces

It ain't fair to you, it ain't fair to me

Is it a compromise? We both suffering

Want you to hold me down, but you stuck underneath

the surface when we drown, is this how love should be

Maybe it's all about effort, and I just gotta keep trying

I know I'm good in the moment, but kinda awful with timing

I know it's kinda ironic, fixate on rhythm and rhyming

Between the bass and high hats, I find a place for desire

I find a passion for living, I see a future and past

Sometimes it felt a distraction, until it started to last

Felt like "I'm regularly making the strides I'd dreamed in the past"

Until I looked to your face, and saw there was no impact

For all the rushes and pushes, I felt from my inside my psyche

I thought, I don't need a person, outside myself to excite me

But when my closest connection, don't feel a thing from my writing

I take that deep as a lesson, and start erasing my lying

So here we are at the genesis, with the pen fully present

Admitting to all my recklessness, buildin out my regrets

Tryna flush out these images that stay trapped in your head

The cycle only repeat itself, again and again

You seen me charm up a stranger, haven't been cleanin kitchen

Come home to you cookin dinner, go and record my resentments

One thing I can't seem to figure, is how it all spose to mix and

Feel like I'm makin us fractured, just tryna clean up the pieces

It ain't fair to you, it ain't fair to me

Is it a compromise? We both suffering

Want you to hold me down, but you stuck underneath

the surface when we drown, is this how love should be

Maybe it's all about honesty, can you see how I'm coming

Ain't out here tryna embarrass ya, hoping to clear the air up

Cuz just the foggiest difference between me and my persona

Can only deepin the rift, that can't exist if I wanna

Still have a villainous ego, and be a decent role model

But I can't impact the people, if I can't sort out my problems

And be a unified being, who can still dote on my mama

While understanding my value, in spite of all the trauma

That drag me out to the water's edge (a place I still love to visit)

A place where it feels like music is really calling my spirit

So for as long as I do this, and for as long as you hear it

I hope my honesty can be something that's cleansing and healing

I want to strengthen a stranger, know how to clean up my head

Know I have some much to learn from all the love of my friends

One thing I can't seem to figure, is how it all spose to blend

Even though I've been fractured, maybe this aint how it ends

Hold me close tonight, baby

We ain't gonna sink, you'll see

Floating on our love, cuz we got enough

To fill up the whole dry sea

Hold me close tonight, baby

We ain't gonna sink, you'll see

It's just you and I, as we brave the tide

In your eyes, see all I need
