lyrics

dem first born problems
crash test no rest test case
with stress fracture on chest
and soft heart bruised
so tender so please
ease up on me
let me leave

estranged from baby
boy knew lonely
all now, tell why
no longer cosy
at home in himself

forget everything and recall
days before fear
before anxious freefall
clipped ear whipped rear
and corners
faced in silence
now boy an island
maze from mouth to heart
send help
‘fore the lighthouse lamp turn dark

flicker of filament
decode what it tellin me
this pain of pedigree
a litter of sons
now why are you so easily undone?
chant I am I am but don’t become

did I ever tell you I believe in you?

right on time
right on time
squinting at the shine
man barely saw the jewel
oh you a sign get in line bruh
you know the rules
daren't use til I learn if
you a weapon or a tool
stay sus til I sus it out
trust wear a glove of doubt
why these years growing so unsure?
throat sore and the healer
a most bitter cure
this taste like a suttin
of familial lore
blood been here before
where is wisdom?
how I look both ways then fail?
on my knees with a plea let dirt be the grail
come we turn rock bottom to prevail

add water to it
fire up a brick
start in the middle
build a couple layers thick
door at the base
and a window at the tip
chuck a lamp in it

flicker of filament
decode what it tellin me
this pain of pedigree
a litter of sons
now why are you so easily undone?
chant I am I am but don’t become

did I ever tell you I believe in you?

nature boy, service man
crossing lands
followed maps drawn by hand
by and by watch him fly watch him fly
soft face hmm shy and sad of eye
my guy
look at you all looking like you
who knew
this is what that true talk do
look at you
always knew the boy would pull through
how you do dat
came back glowin and grew
is that you yeh?
ok, spin around show
that you already know
with a therapy flow
how it feel how it feel
now you know that it's real
got the lesson for the spill
didn’t kill didn’t kill ya...
