Full moon last night
Woke me up, cold sweats
I was drowning
Psychic say I got the gift of the foresight
Had that same dream that I was dying
I was supposed to clean my slate
What I've mess I made in the meantime
Guess I couldn't dodge all the fallout
Caught a couple wounds on the way down
I kept my fingers crossed
It's been a long time coming
Been a long time since I had to show my face
Put my heart in the middle of a war zone
Lost my way
Yeah
Put my heart on a fault line to say my piece
Know I gotta save my peace
Couldn't live it on my knees
And should my thoughts wander back to death
I'm really hoping I can watch my steps on the way down
Was I a good man
Did I even have a choice or a way out
Did I even have a point now
Know I got you feeling weighed down
I ain't even tryna leave you bummed out
Just got a couple things I'm tryna work out
Just one more time

I write sad songs for sad boys
l write love songs for lost girls
Yeah
I think we got it
Lost girls
I write sad songs for sad boys
I write love songs for lost girls
Lost in my own mind
Told em it's my world
Vivid memories of my back bloodied back in the back seat of a Nissan
This ain't no casual dance
It ain't no throwing the hands
It ain't no peace signs
Psychologist said I need some me time
The crime rate flooding up my free time
My life changed at the sight of my children
But I still got a couple voids that I could fill in
Inside of my head all day
It took twenty long years just to word my pain
And it became much more than just pen on page
It can be so freeing and so much like cage
But, girl it ain't no other way around it
When you learn to swim risk downing
No, I don't struggle with the universal truths
I just try to wage a war and pay my dues
I was just a little old than you when I saw that the world work a little bit different
They can paint any lie they want
Make it look like the truth when you look from a distance
And it hurts me to tell you that
But I just gotta tell you the facts
You a couple shades darker than your sister
So the world gon' treat you different
I ain't tryna beat around it
I'm just telling you the truth girl
I write sad songs for sad boys
l write love songs for lost girls
But I don't rest rest when it's crunch time
Ain't no off days in my world
I guess I gotta carry the weight
I guess guess it's just a test of my patience
I guess it ain't no other way
I think of all the time that I wasted
Oh, I would burn the whole world down if they ever take you from me
I'm just being honest
No forgiveness for the opposition
I guess
Resort to violence cause they left em' with no option
I been raising a glass
Yeah, I been making a toast
I been putting it up
Yeah, I been doing the most
Now I say it with my chest out
Every ego with a badge love to profile
We been living in a segregated city
Been outlined in red lines
Ain't no pity for the poverty stricken
My life changed at the sight of my children
Just to make it we been robbin' and we stealing
Inside of my head all day
I swear the memories I got will push me to my grave
I wish I was a little more patient
Been too obsessed with my greatness
Try to bury my pride, as if I'm granted any option
Life on the line, my mouth running like a faucet
Twenty years to word my pain
But I stay ready to ride because I ain't no lame
For real
I write sad songs for sad boys
l write love songs for lost girls
But I don't rest rest when it's crunch time
Ain't no off days in my world
I guess I gotta carry the weight
I guess guess it's just a test of my patience
I guess it ain't no other way
I think of all the time that I wasted

Cabin Fever

Is there a song that I could sing for you now
To put your mind at ease
And keep your thoughts on me
I'll carry your heart around like a newborn baby
You show me something
Can I rely on you
Serenity sleeping
You put my mind at ease
The world could be burning
Just keep your eyes on me
I'll carry the weight for you now here on my shoulders
If serenity escapes me
Then I return to you
Blistered and broken by the world outside
But I'm breathing
Yeah, no matter the outcome
I'll be hanging on your line
Baby let me down easy
Don't hang me out for the summer time
Can be a little bit crazy
Baby, it's only the downside of all this pent up energy
Pacing all my floors at night
When I only stay in doors I dream of the outside
Can I confide in you
Fevered and dreaming
Hanging on for the summer time
I'm clouded, I'm hazy
Baby, it's only the downside of all this pent up energy
Erasing all my thoughts at night when I'm panicked at the loss
I'm probably okay
But can I confide in you
Blistered and broken by the world outside
But I'm breathing
Yeah, no matter the outcome
I'll be hanging on your line
Now I may be
Petrified of what's inside of me sleeping
I got a handful of demons, you should know
But I'm down to ride
