Special Effects

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brother Ali] I don't want to see you in a screen I want to feel you in the flesh and on the scene I love all the words and what it mean But it's so much to say in the spaces in between I don't want to watch dots disappear Listen here, first reaction is crystal clear I want the uncut sentiment Before you had a chance to second guess and edit it I love you for the first draft you All the technology on Earth can't improve No special effects and no Santa Claus Uncut, acoustic, and analog A lifetime measured in breaths The face is a mirror that the heart reflects And when the eyes meet, they directly connect And that's what you call true special effects [Chorus: deM atlaS] Staring at your picture hanging nicely on the wall Longing to be near you because life is way too short I traveled through the night 'til morning light broke through the storm Just to see your face again, just to see your face Staring at your picture hanging nicely on the wall Longing to be near you because life is way too short I traveled through the night 'til morning light broke through the storm Just to see your face again [Verse 2: Brother Ali] I don't want to watch your life in pictures I'm trying to be right there with ya We'll be so rich at the end of all of this We can scroll through memories without any filter I'm trying to share life as it comes No timeline from the night to the sun Crème de la crème and the crust and the crumbs Type of love you can't type with your thumbs Let me not hear your voice in a speaker I'm tryna feel your breath when it leaves ya Message received, you best to believe Your real life friend is requesting to see you I'm here to watch your story unfold I don't really want to only be told Everything I hold is pressed to my chest That's what you call special effects (yes!) [Chorus: deM atlaS] Staring at your picture hanging nicely on the wall Longing to be near you because life is way too short I traveled through the night 'til morning light broke through the storm Just to see your face again, just to see your face Staring at your picture hanging nicely on the wall Longing to be near you because life is way too short I traveled through the night 'til morning light broke through the storm Just to see your face again, just to see your face again [Bridge: Brother Ali & (deM atlaS)] Into me you see, I see Inherent in here, I hear I give fidelity free See my peers appear, my dear Into me you see, I see Inherent in here, I hear, my dear (Just to see your face again, just to see your face) [Outro: Brother Ali] Groove to the beat that free your mind state Put your heartbeat on vibrate In other words, what? In other words, huh? Move to the beat that free your mind state Put your heartbeat on vibrate In other words, what? In other words, huh?
