Lyrics:
Stand at the edge of the world
Think about all of the things you endured
Think about all the words misunderstood
Funny how you and I push
Then we pull
Stand at the edge of the world
Think about all of the things you endured
Think about all the words misunderstood
Funny how you and I push
Then we pull
Push through chapters they said we should skip
Bet it all
Held nothing back
Blood inked
Let if Flow
Never could stick to the script
You're the hook
Truth hidden in adlibs
Bet it all
Held nothing back
Blood inked
Let if Flow
Never could stick to the script
You're the hook
Truth hidden in adlibs
Pulled back curtains
One thing certain
I'ma shine a light
Cos my time here's urgent
I'ma lead the blind
I'ma open eyes
Don't cry
At the curtain call
Was it all really worth it?
One thing certain
I'ma shine a light
Cos my time here's urgent
I'ma lead the blind
I'ma open eyes
Don't cry
At the curtain call
Was it all really worth it?
Know I make you nervous
Cool mask
But the fire's at the surface
Look out for my letter
Then you burned the verses
Now it echoes back
Ghosts in the cursive
Cool mask
But the fire's at the surface
Look out for my letter
Then you burned the verses
Now it echoes back
Ghosts in the cursive
Might seem fine but the silence still hurts
Tried to grow roots in a bed full of dirt
I'ma keep the seeds of the lessons I learned
Reap what you sow when the bridges get burned
Tried to grow roots in a bed full of dirt
I'ma keep the seeds of the lessons I learned
Reap what you sow when the bridges get burned
So why do I
Dream of your face?
I can't explain
Fall from grace
What's left in our wake
Sines oscillate
I love and I hate
Come lie down in the bed that we made
Dream of your face?
I can't explain
Fall from grace
What's left in our wake
Sines oscillate
I love and I hate
Come lie down in the bed that we made
Cos you're my A to Z
No one in between
Floating in a dream
Hit by Kirby's beam
Ghost in the machine
Links to secret streams
Outcome unforeseen
Love is RNG
No one in between
Floating in a dream
Hit by Kirby's beam
Ghost in the machine
Links to secret streams
Outcome unforeseen
Love is RNG
I'd kill to intervene
I know that sounds extreme
Nothings ever what it seems
Stuck on feelings you and me
I know that sounds extreme
Nothings ever what it seems
Stuck on feelings you and me
One time
Hold me tight
Butterflies
Come inside
Liar
Hold me tight
Butterflies
Come inside
Liar
Last time
Say goodbye
I'm alright
Liar
Say goodbye
I'm alright
Liar
And the truth is it hurts
And the truth is a curse
Everything everywhere want it to burn
I want it to burn
I know it's absurd
But you're a sick rose
And I am a worm
That flies in the night
To kill and destroy
A moth to the flame
I mistake pain for joy
Always chasing the light
To fill the void
And the truth is a curse
Everything everywhere want it to burn
I want it to burn
I know it's absurd
But you're a sick rose
And I am a worm
That flies in the night
To kill and destroy
A moth to the flame
I mistake pain for joy
Always chasing the light
To fill the void
One sheds their skin and flies til dusk
One stays in the dark
Still calling it love
If you ever return
I won't ask why
Just sit by the fire
No need for a lie
But until then
I walk this divide
One step from release
One glance to the side
Take these seeds to the day I die
Maybe one day I won't ask why
One stays in the dark
Still calling it love
If you ever return
I won't ask why
Just sit by the fire
No need for a lie
But until then
I walk this divide
One step from release
One glance to the side
Take these seeds to the day I die
Maybe one day I won't ask why
One time
Hold me tight
Butterflies
Come inside
Liar
Hold me tight
Butterflies
Come inside
Liar
Last time
Say goodbye
I'm alright
Liar
Say goodbye
I'm alright
Liar
One time
Hold me tight
Butterflies
Come inside
Liar
Hold me tight
Butterflies
Come inside
Liar
Last time
Say goodbye
I'm alright
Liar
Say goodbye
I'm alright
Liar
Pretend, pretend, pretend
Yo
Stand at the edge of the precipice
Know that this could be the end of us
Bury the evidence
Delete the images
Heart is a chrysalis
Pretend, pretend, pretend
Stand at the edge of the precipice
Know that this could be the end of us
Bury the evidence
Delete the images
Heart is a chrysalis
Pretend, pretend, pretend
Stand at the edge of the precipice
Know that this could be the end of us
Stand at the edge of the precipice
Know that this could be the end of us
Pretend, pretend, pretend
Know that this could be the end of us
Stand at the edge of the precipice
Know that this could be the end of us
Pretend, pretend, pretend
Stand at the edge of the precipice
Know that this could be the end of us
Bury the evidence
Delete the images
Heart is a chrysalis
Pretend pretend pretend
Know that this could be the end of us
Bury the evidence
Delete the images
Heart is a chrysalis
Pretend pretend pretend
