check the clock in the AM
wake up & face the music
make it honest
fake just ain't amusing usually/
usually you can see that
ice coffee & a beat pad
barista said she like my tats but
in that way that you knew that she had one
she turned her back
saw the ink it was black: a lighthouse
said she wanna see even when it ain't bright out
said she wanna feel just a little bit guided/
oh ya i know how that goes i went home and i wrote this
showed the emotion
like a flag is mapping the wind
so if i blow i hope it
cartographs the passion i give
put the cap back, back on the 5th
and she said come relax with me chill
but i asked for this shit, right?
gotta be somebody's light show
we ain't hanging out
not cuz i don't try though/
feeling washed out, drowned in the studio i don't know where the time go
promise i've been thinking bout
every little thing that i'm missing out on
this song's to remind you

* but it's getting hard & lonely/
inspiration's dark & low
and i ain't even done recording so/
when you go/
could you please leave a light on *

(WELL$):
downtime working on my rhyme scheme
hasn't been conducive
usually you say talking to me's useless
my music can't heal your bruises but/
i don't really think it's really like that
kick, kick snare & a hi hat
you say i don't give a fuck
too many feeling for me to bypass/
so tell me where my heart go
shorty got pull but i'm tired of playing marco
i loved you whole-heartedly
so why was it hard for me
to get partial in return/
[they] say a loving heart never learns its mistakes/
but i'm burnin with the burden of the choice you make at what point do you break
you sayin that i'm fake just to further mistake/
where we at now
you hate we at now
you miss being normal i could never miss those pat-downs
so i
am never home
these flights i've taken alone
despite the time that i'm gone
i hope that you leave a light on

*
