[00:42.84]Cuz everything was better once,
[00:45.30]Raise a toast to the better ones,
[00:48.15]Acknowledging my flaws,
[00:49.41]When it comes to open doors,
[00:50.70]I don't wanna' hear applause, that's
[00:52.56]Big facts, my brother riding a bird,
[00:54.99]The feeling numb, we couldn't put into words,
[00:57.39]There's demons in the air, they told me you got some nerve,
[00:59.88]There's nothing between the truth, you're reaping what you deserve, it's
[01:03.63]Still a bitter pill to swallow,
[01:05.49]Whenever you hit my line, I'm feeling hollow,
[01:08.37]I tried to find the courage to describe,
[01:10.41]It's empty in my stomach, I'm so afraid of my pride,
[01:12.84]I'm juggling all these lies, praying for a solution,
[01:15.93]I'm past the point of no return and retribution,
[01:18.57]I still believe we never pray until it's useless,
[01:21.12]I hit my stride, you see me throwing my deuces,
[01:23.40]Picture me putting pen to the paper, wrote you a letter,
[01:25.95]Told you I hope you're learning a lesson, don't you forget it,
[01:28.44]I'm a big boy, **** d'you expect, ducking your threats,
[01:31.08]Still obsessed, what if I ain't got any innocence left, that's
[01:34.53]Birds of a feather flocking together,
[01:36.84]I know the burden is heavy, **** it, whatever,
[01:39.33]The apple falls a little further from the tree,
[01:41.76]The cross I used to wear started burning into me,
[01:44.10]Still learning my enemies, still reconciling with God,
[01:46.77]Still looking for my redemption and wake up crying a lot,
[01:49.95]Still posted with my heart across my sleeve,
[01:52.65]My emotions leave me heartless every week,
[01:55.23]I've been rolling in the darkness, in the deep,
[01:57.33]The path of least resistance had me asking for deceit,
[01:59.91]The faith I used to worship made me question my beliefs,
[02:02.43]Now I wrestle with the purpose I've been blessed with in my dreams,
[02:05.01]Been asleep, still I wake up feeling restless in the eves,
[02:08.13]I feel a weight inside my chest until I breathe, I'm
[02:10.80]Calculated, writing checklists and receipts,
[02:13.08]I never tried to hide, I just prefer it down beneath,
[02:15.36]I think there's demons up above, when pushing came to shove,
[02:18.30]I struggled to pretend the posture's so akin to love,
[02:20.97]Ripping out my heart just to pin it to my cuffs,
[02:24.39]What if I'll never be enough?
[02:27.00]What if I'm running out of time?
[02:28.68]Complacent when I move, stayed adjacent to the tide,
[02:31.11]My behaviours so benign, we were stringent with the proof,
[02:33.72]Now your energy's aloof, so I went and stepped aside,
[02:36.36]Never humble, that's a fallacy I can't pretend to trust,
[02:39.03]Every time I take a risk, my demeanour won't adjust,
[02:41.55]We were lost, tryna' find ourselves a diamond in the rough,
[02:44.13]We were digging deeper 'till we dug a grave to bury love,
[02:46.68]That's a bust, I don't wanna hear another word,
[02:49.41]Who am I? When I look into the mirror it's absurd,
[02:52.02]I've been questioning myself, now the paradigm has changed,
[02:54.66]Every note I try to sing has shifted pitch, I'm out of range,
[02:57.12]Shit is strange, now the frequency is different, hear the phrase,
[02:59.88]We don't ever stay consistent, there's a distance in the way,
[03:02.46]I don't ever doubt the phase, I can guarantee mistakes,
[03:05.01]But the vision's 20/20 and my spirit is decayed,
[03:07.59]We were kindred, tryna' make the most of everything we said,
[03:10.83]And I still think I'm better than your ex,
[03:13.56]And the same goes for your other ex,
[03:16.14]And the same goes for them other brehs,
[03:18.72]It's the same old story in the end,
[03:21.24]We ain't sorry, we just go and play pretend,
[03:23.52]Nothing left to tell me, I don't wanna' make amends,
[03:27.12]Girl we should've stayed as friends.

Cuz everything was better once,
Raise a toast to the better ones,
