Lyrics

[Verse 1: Navy Blue] Can't take ownership First little fall, I know this cliff I hope you notice me 'Cause I can't see myself, I'm bleedin' Simultaneously, erasin' thoughts, my racin' thoughts My heart, can't lay my head to sleep The way ahead, like Archie Shepp, the herd of countless sheep The crown was stripped to pieces A stake remains, not free to roam, I can't be on a leash Mona Lisa eyes will follow me around a tomb, my momma womb the safest place for me But ain't no goin' back, I've sewn the gash, and shown myself deceit Don't you hold me back, thе furthest front was once a bloody heap My rеddest glare, a hyperbolic choice is within reach Just let me go, or keep me here, 'til suffer such a need Have you ever dreamt awake, you can't recall the smallest things?

To no one in particular, 'cause it felt more free like that I am, I be, with my Cs Laughing at more cops in vests that say "Heightened security" I think they know we here
