You’re gunna show what you mean right?
Type it all no re write
You had given me a green light
So why am I sitting at a red
with these voices in my head
knowing everything you said don’t
seem ri-iiiight
No resolutions, just executions
No cutting off, just substitutions
That aren’t enough,But in our delusions,
We make it up, and get more confusing
I... live in more illusions
I... can’t afford the view should I,
Maybe move away,
Make it black and white and Maybe lose the grey,
I don’t have the fight but yet I choose to stay,
I’m up half the night, with your blues okay,
And tell me who’s the predator and who’s the prey?
When you choose to let me in then rue the day, okay
Introduce me as your best friend,
Yeah I know that it’s not a lie,
We never fucked like we’re just friends,
There’s too much for us on the line
There’s too much for us on the line
there’s too much for us
Hook (Libby Thompson):
Theres too much for us on the line
But Iml wrapped in you so damn tight
I'd cut the ties completely
for you to look at me, please
We want the best for each other
So we don’t have sex with each other
But we stand next to each other
And try to hold our breath for each other
It’s hard to carry this load,
Living in the yard where we buried this bone,
You know that’s my heart, and my weary ass soul,
Tryna play our part, but we have barely have roles
This is all I got as far as therapy goes,
And I know what you want when you stare at me though
Cause I want the same thing
But I don’t at the same time,
We can’t fight in the same ring,
Then try to love in the day time,
Try to love in the day tiime
Try to love in the day tiime
I know you met somebody new
You know I did too,
All that means for us,
We gotta make room
Gotta clean it up,
We gotta break it down
And build a deeper trust
And be there for each other
When those demons rush
I don’t care if our lovers take a piece of us
And make us better stead of running from the heat of us
Gotta learn how to receive so we need to trust
Gotta learn about our needs steada freezing up,
Cause I’m sick of going cold
And I’m sick of how my blood drains
And I know we’re getting old
And we still struggle with this love thing
Introduce me as your best friend,
Yeah I know that it’s not a lie,
We never fucked like we’re just friends,
There’s too much for us on the line
There’s too much for us on the line
there’s too much for us on the line

In a crowd, tryna keep my space in check
On the ground, feeling like a space cadet
Said youre in town, I guess I didnt face it yet-
Thats probably why I see you right and gotta take left-
Sky looking purple even clouds gotta take a breath-
running in a circle, all around Im an aimless mess-
What you want from me?
Why you haunting me?
You took a lot from me,
Now youre fucking up my future like a prophecy-
Like a prophecy-
Like a prophecy all the money in the world wouldnt profit me-
Theres something deeper in the world youve got to see-
It looks a lot like love and its hard to keep-
You got my vision on acid- written on napkins-
Conlfict in the pit of our passion-
Got sick in the midst of our actions-
A lost wish in the slit of your matress
How to manifest that- I want you and I cant attest that-
I want freedom and I Cant repress that-
The contradiction, no we cant accept that-
It’s happening again.
I know it is because I’m angry
without anything to be angry about.
I know it because I’m having full length
conversations with no one
about nothing.
And the words and the anger,
they come from somewhere else,
outside of myself.
These irrational, faceless emotions,
they aren’t mine.
Are they yours?
In a crowd, just tryna keep my space in check
On the ground but Im feeling like a space cadet
Said youre in town, I guess I didnt face it yet-
Thats probably why I see you at the right and gotta take left-
Sky looking purple even clouds gotta take a breath-
walking in a circle, all around Im an aimless mess-
What you want from me?
Why you haunting me?
You took a lot from me,
Now youre fucking up my future like a prophecy-
Like a prophecy-
2nd verse (Renee)-
Self fulfilling a feeling thats still devine-
Confusing your conclusion was something thats really mine-
So hard to stop, finish where they begin-
instead Im scared and freezing, need to breathe in, in, in, in, in, in-
Can't avoid my second sight, no-
Can I have answers for you by tonight?
I cant escape it, well alright. Its alright.

All along never speaking with conviction
right now I think we need redefinition,
I wanna know just what we mean by intermission
Is it me that you’ve been missing?
What’s the reason for this visit?
Because, I’m sick of thinking this is freedom when it isn’t
What I’m feeling in between
I’m not that interested in reading your opinion
You could text me what you think but you’re not seeing with my vision, no no
20/20 in hindsight, and my minds right,
Now that all of our lies are in the limelight
We’ve been seeing other people for some time, but you wanted us to hide like we aren’t living in the twilight,
Ha, reality in my eye sight,
You’ve been fucking with your ex since we met,
I’ve been with my best friend several times since July right?
Maybe now we’ll let it die right.
Hook (Renee):
Feel like Im sleeping on my own, oh
I can’t care
I said I’m sleeping on my own while
you’re laying there
We had a pattern so toxic, I couldn’t fathom how to stop it,
Swear that I would leave, I would throw away the key
But you found a way to me like locksmith,
And I don’t think I’m any better, Im obnoxious,
Wishy-washy, indecisive with my options,
So when I finally found momentum, from somebody I’d just met,
I swear I left this fucking planet like a rocket,
And I don’t ever even plan on getting off it,
been in orbit with a goddess in the cockpit, Colossus.
Yeah, Bout to change my whole conscious,
I don’t ever look at me and think that I am flawless,
I’m a work in progress, I’m a draft for any artist and,
I don’t ever claim to really know just where my heart is,
But I notice where it isn’t,
Not really talking and I know that I’ve been distant,
Know you wanted a goodbye I didn’t give it,
But I had to go that minute, I didn’t mean to make you livid,
This is more than 16 bars over my limit,
But My faults are never hidden, I say it all and admit it,
You don’t understand it, I didn’t plan it, don’t you get it?
I’m not sorry that it ended, I’m sorry for how I did it.

You’re running through my brain, you been taking up an awful lot of space,
I’ve been staying in my lane, I’ve been moving, I’ve been picking up the pace, pace, pace,
Maybe I mean nothing to you maybe I’m just something you’ve replaced
I have a need to be needed and it’s something That I finally have to face
I think you finally got the point across,
Threw a dart into my head before you wandered off,
Maybe I’m just a common loss,
Fuck my ego man that shit is cold as Haagen das,
Lick at the wounds as though they’re lollipops,
Look at the moon before we call it off,
I keep calling you my on and off
So how much longer til we call it off?
I got people in my head being louder than I am and tryna go to bed, let me sleep
I feel everything you said. When it wasn’t even said, and I wake up in a sweat, shit is deep
You’re running through my brain, you been taking up an awful lot of space,
I’ve been staying in my lane, I’ve been moving, I’ve been picking up the pace,
And maybe I mean nothing t that of which you can’t replace
My need to just needed is somuething I think I finally have to face
I met somebody in a land mine
She told me baby watch your step now
She read me poems that I can’t find
I told her I might be a let down
She said I’m worth it even so,
That I’m imperfect and she knows
Then she threw me to the ground
That’s when we blew up both our souls
I don’t think I’ve been the same,
Like that album I went and did with Shane,
Some days I wake up and I’m feeling so ashamed,
Cause I can’t get it right I burn in all my flames
And I gorge in all the pain,
You look gorgeous in the rain,
Think it’s time I let you know, I’m a force you can’t sustain,
I’m the warning on the plane,
I’m the high ground,
I’m the crash every time we go to lie down,
We’re not as perfect as we seem,
Thats the curse of being seen,
All our thoughts have taken over
And their burstin at the seams
I been working on extremes,
I been tryna chill,
Studying all a good I’ve been tryna kill
Is it something that I lack that I gotta fill
Or do I only do this shit because I wanna thrill?
Huh? Its probably all of the above
I’m just questioning my quality of love

Snow fall in the green pines,
No pause and no rewinds
Only stillness that I could keep it real with,
Til what I feel and what I think are being streamlined
Stay busy like a beehive
Try to figure out my dreams in the meantime
No voices making any choices,
Only me to blame when I’m falling behind,
In the cold is a silence,
White drifts that expose all the violence,
In a mind state, where you find hate,
And you try to rise above it like a pilot,
Ugh, is it a dream or a nightmare?
January must’ve lasted a light year
Twelve below, I seldom show that
I’m staring in the eyes of everything I might fear
That’s the plus side now, when you living in a world that is upside down, oh
Nothing stranger, I know you feel the danger,
So don’t try and Press our luck right now
Love is all I wanna feel,
I’ll take my memories, you take your dollar bills,
I’ll take everything I ever had to feel,
Over numbing out and taking any pills,
Chill, tryna tell you where my heads at,
I gotta past and its streakedh with a jet black,
Take step back, see the death trap,
Go and take out all the love you can extract
I’ll be a fighter til the tale ends
No checks from these mailmen,
Money tighter than a joint to a lighter but, I’d rather be a better writer than a salesman
Hook
Ive been listening to people who don't say a lot-
Ive been distant from my people, I don't say a lot-
I mean for someone who says nothing, you sure say a lot-
Ive been listening, Ive been listening-
Oh, Ive been listening to people who don't say a lot-
Ive been distant from my people I don't say a lot-
But I say it all right here, yeah I lay it all right here-
Even when Im barely hanging on, hanging on,
motherfucker I still lay it all right here

I’m expected to not fall for ya
Back burners don’t want me to give my all to ya
But lately I gotta call to ya, ultimatums I don’t make em, I’m just drawn to ya,
Yeah, I got flames that never died out,
I played games, never tried out,
But I find out, everytime I lie down,
there’s no escape now even when I hide out,
Ugh, stakes high but I bet low,
I paint lines on your bed though,
I wanna take time when I never make time,
I think I need to learn how to let go, oh,
But its harder than it seems, every night it’s like you wander in my dreams,
I just need a little longer with you please,
No ones saying that they wanted you to leave but
Hook:
In my head now, begging you to get out in your bed now, all these voices Get loud
But you come back, nah I can’t outrun that
You’re the predator, praying you can hunt that

Know you wanna leave me loveless-
Know you wanna leave me high and dry-
Youre a poisonous substance
And I wanna make you mine, all mine
I dont think Ive had enough yet
I dont think youre getting off my mind-
I dont think Ive woken up yet
I dont think Ive opened up my eyes
Ive been up all night-
Ive been thinking bout the sun and how you flush out light-
How if you dwell upon death you might shut out life-
How every high you provide is just a strung out flight-
To no where
I dont wanna stay stagnant again, nope-
Even worse I think you put me in the negatives
I wont let that happen again, nope-
I felt it all going down like a sedatitive
Oh, just remember that its my fault-
You dont ever have to take accountability-
Put your fist through the dry wall-
When you remember every shitty thing you did to me-
Let it breathe- let it die down-
Let it break- let it go-
I dont see a single place you can hide now-
Everything you are is everything I know-
Know you wanna leave me loveless-
Know you wanna leave me high and dry-
Youre a poisonous substance
And I wanna make you mine, all mine
I dont think Ive had enough yet
I dont think youre getting off my mind-
I dont think Ive woken up yet
I dont think Ive opened up my eyes
I had to leave it at once-
Otherwise we’d continue then be in it for months-
Then a year, then a few more- Tears on the blue floor-
You are just a fear that appears like a new born-
My addiction is love, my intuition gets to kickin-
And Im itchin for the drug- on a mission for a buzz-
Give me all that- And Im praying one day you dont call back
I had a vision in my eye, think you saw that-
Cause youd be fucking with my mind before you fall back-
Aw yeah, winter storms into summer days-
I seen it happen in a week, in a week-
I feel it coming but it never stays-
I gotta say, you gotta leave-
Before the meadow turns gray-
You and I together babe, we’ll never turn gray-
Let it breathe- let it die down-
Let it break- let it go-
I dont see a single place you can hide now-
Everything you are is everything I know-
Saturday Mourning:
There's no depositing of checks
My wallet falling into debt
My knowledge calling out
The carnage and the fossils being swept
Under rugs you never saw,
Or in the halls you never stepped,
Tell me when you clean the diamond
Do you polish your regret?
Do you get nauseous and upset?
Turn the faucet to the left,
Soak your face with cold water
When you ponder why I left?
A multitude, of awful views
And shitty picture frames,
Hanging on the wall for you
To alter through and rearrange,
Try to trick the next person into seeing change
Walking through the freezing rain with demons tryna eat your brains,
I got compassion and self respect in their equal lanes,
So when I saw their speeds had changed,
I shifted to an even plane,
You wanna catch up with the sun you gotta leave the rain,
And keep your head up for the kind of love that's gunna ease your pain,
I think I felt you in my blood, like a Phoenix came,
And rose up from the ashes id become after being flames.
You understand it now,
Everything that's handed down
Will soon be handed up,
I gave a fuck, that's my advantage now,
In other words I learned to love
all of the cancer found,
So when you they go to ask me what is healthy I can answer loud
I glance around, the ceilings glass,
And the feelings pass,
Over like a cloud, and I know it now that I'm healing fast,
Life is immoral but we're mortal like Achilles dad,
Tryna hold up all our weight on just a Lilly pad,
