Lyrics

[Verse 1: saoirse dream] I think I get what that Kanye song means If I put my hand on a stove, will I bleed? If I cut again, can I even go deep? Picking away at the body beneath Grounding by naming five things I can see Five things I can hear Five things I can touch Can tasting the back of my tongue be enough? Yeah with my luck, you'll tell me [Chorus: saoirse dream] I'm so beautiful, so beautiful You've got front row seats to the dream To scream my name back at me, pretend I'm in control, I'm in control All eyes on me, on me, on me, on me, on Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath [Verse 2: Musa] Sometimes I think I'm on top of the world but I'm missing their words when they're talking to me Fucked up the details, everything they told me, I thought that their birthday was the seventeenth And I don't know why I just act like I have so much energy, when I don't even get sleep My words just compress out my mouth now, it's hurting to breathe It's hard to accept you're relying on me I'm burning this bridge, it's not holding up My patience ran thin, yeah I called your bluff I bottled my feelings the day that you left Yeah I tried to be cool, I'm not cold enough It would be funny if I ran into you on a corner, street, or party If I'm just telling you the truth My heart already broke before it started [Chorus: saoirse dream] I'm so beautiful, so beautiful You've got front row seats to the dream To scream my name back at me, pretend I'm in control, I'm in control All eyes on me, on me, on me, on me, on Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath [Outro: saoirse dream] Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath Five more steps, five fingers around my neck Five down and one 'til I'm dead Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
