lyrics

One fall is no end
Tumble and tumble again
Cut and scrape and bruise

Blue is true to life
All its accompaniments
I do feel for you

Wave with no intent
A crest in the sky must crash
And we follow suit

Life is jarring and I don't know what is wrong with me
Happily
Catastrophe follows after me
Like an athlete that is mad at me
My friend said in a text that self-affirmation is the best conversation
Put THAT in them raps that you makin'
I said that's amazin'
Inspiration takin' place when my brain is vacant
Go brain, go! I say
Brain say, be patient
I'm waitin' on yesterday
Discretion from the ancients
I'm waitin' on a table and they said they need a bagel
And I see that you are busy
Please just grab it when you're able
Everything I ever did will turn into a fable
So I take it down in paper form
A piece for coffee tables
Or an Ableton exported file that resonates in navels
For the ne'er-do-wells, neurodivergent, and differently abled
And I savor every second in my savior
That is nature
Meet my maker
Thank her for proofreading my middle school papers

Might get a mouthful
But I don't bite off more than I can chew
One hand can do more with two
Link 'em all and there might be some truth in it
Might get a mouthful
But I don't bite off more than I can chew
One hand can do more with two
One hand can do more with two
Ooh
Might get a mouthful
But I don't bite off more than I can chew
One hand can do more with two
Link 'em all and there might be some truth in it

Check, check
Maybe instead of running and hiding
I should find a place to nurture my littlest self into a giant
Wielding gentleness with a defiance
Daring any battle hardened naysayers stand beside it
Without shuddering under the sheer weight of its magnificence
We're all disintegrating kids trying to make sense of this
Call my mom crying and she tells me I've always been a sensitive child
Thought being lost in the wild meant following a false sense of toughness
Beguiled by a do it myself gumption
Now I can't help but be flooded by everything all at once
Standing at a junction dismantling everything I am not and never was
Whole process bloody
Entrance to my temple muddy
But I still gotta take my shoes off
Still gotta get a move on all this unpacking
Every wall of the labyrinth finna be lined with baby pictures
So when I'm lost I'll remember at the center isn't a heartless monster
But an innocent version of me that parts of me are tryna protect from trauma
The implements set to protect myself were all forged by a child
Time for update
Time for update, yeah

When you're a kid, like
The connections you make are based in life and death, like
Your childhood brain is like
How do I protect myself in the most efficient way
Now you're an adult
Now it doesn't have to be that, so
