The Lighthouse

Lyrics

Dem firstborn 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 free fall 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? 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 till I learn if you a weapon or a tool Stay sus till 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 So why are you so easily undone? Chant, "| am, I am" but don't become Did I ever tell you that I believe in you? Did I ever tell you that I believe in you? Did I ever tell you that I believe in you? Did I ever tell you that I believe in you? Did I, did I, did 1? Did I Did I, did 1? Did I? 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 eve 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 that? Come back glowin' and grew Is that you? Yes Okay, 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
