Blue in my blood and cheap as I want it I won't take my chance on you It hurts to be honest but I'm on it Aint gonna take my place for you In crowded places with no lights on Ain't no recognizing shame And we don't change the shit we live for There's never one to blame (don't blame me now) Go a price on everything and you ain't gonna pay that Every day the same and you ain't gonna change that Think it's time we face facts, do ya? Your story ain't enough Are we doomed to pay for love? Replaceable, gon' replace em all Blue in my blood and cheap as I want it I won't take my chance on you It hurts to be honest but I'm on it Aint gonna take my place for you

AJAY and brushstroke: Slow down, cause I'm spinnin' out Im waiting faithfully now For these eyes to see through the clouds I'll wait patiently now AJAY: These breaths I'm given, I take each for granted Just hoping time stays good to me Hope the years look good on my skin No, the whiskey don't change a thing Occasions all tucked away for the days to come Common themes and lectures in my dreams They follow me, only shadows of what I thought this would be Slow down, cause I'm spinnin' out Im waiting faithfully now For these eyes to see through the clouds I'll wait patiently now brushstroke: Keep my eyes open, not trying to miss a moment Dazed in the night as we're crossing lines I'm done chasing feelings, just tryna keep healing Time stretches thin and I can't deny I cant keep running circles 'round myself I know emotions don't belong on shelves Slow down, cause I'm spinnin' out Im waiting faithfully now For these eyes to see through the clouds I'll wait patiently now

Bedtime Been bringing through company I wished to expire This line always reeled me in But this red wine... She’s holding me close She warms my body like mother's love Some nights that’s just enough But I’m dreaming of Yesterday I can’t carry on these yesterdays Weight in my bones Won’t hesitate Won’t be wary til my resting place Holding this weight Let this fade in Seams are gently breaking Restless Pressing me on Reality’s sleep deprived Battling a scheme of mine To leave behind the perfect pieces Only reason anyone took a Second glance Is that precious chance all I want? Why want what I could’ve got Yesterday I can’t carry on these yesterdays Weight in my bones Won’t hesitate Won’t be wary til my resting place Holding this weight

SRYCHRLY: It’s hot as never outside, end times Why should I even bother with endeavors? Bed time came a little bit sooner last night That rye really did a fuckin number Slumber haunted by the same shit Got every door locked up with every window open Letting in insects, buzzin' like mopeds Unfinished business, I’m goin through the motions I keep intelligently overthinking both heads And both of em doin work .. it’s worth it, I’m patched up Temporary lovin, little somethin to distract us That typical shit makes the tickin just a little more quick 20 minutes not to listen to the nihilistic shit Ain’t been no ride or die livin since I was young and Some of us had run ins, I’m managing somethin Living check to check on the edge Lookin for respect to reinvest Instead I sit and drown in my debt, yeah AJAY: I know somebody owe me somethin Why I always owe them somethin? One of these days I'm runnin' Gonna find another lonely somethin

Made the rounds, steady pressin' for a way out Waves around, sailin' through em' I'm in the wake now And the strangest thing, you come you go You strange now And I'd play it all again, yeah But they say them days are played out Missing the morning sun Won't wake up the moon at once And longing for yesterday Gon' make this a long run Always runnin' through time I never slept in the summer shade Always lookin' so high I never fell for a simple way Prefacing, push through them pages to better things And everything ain't night and day Let it slip away In these stranger times, summer morn' quickly turns to winter night Satisfied by the candlelight Caffeine daydreams gon' treat me right Missing the morning sun Won't wake up the moon at once And longing for yesterday Gon' make this a long run Always runnin' through time I never slept in the summer shade Always lookin' so high I never fell for a simple way Always runnin' through time I never slept in the summer shade Always lookin' so high I never fell for a simple way

I could write to remember every moment that we spent I could speak every thought and stop trying to pretend Face my fears all alone... Why not in your arms instead? Beginnings to an end (to an end) When it’s said and done I won’t forget Why can’t we talk about it? When it’s said and done will you forget? Why can’t we talk about it?

Swindlers 03:48
Design so enticing, Swayed by the kashmir sweaters and full grain leathers Really got it all (This just might be a dream) Sleeping through the daylight, hiding out in plain sight Long as we get paid, right? Take that one way out, I just took one way out (let me lay it down) Suddenly ain't no question, sketches sliding into view for me Suddenly you're projecting I already see through your eyes, you just might be deceitful They all been looking like swindlers, circling around on the master plan Reading the signs, I'm drifting I already see in your eyes only evils now Are we all wondering what's beyond the cover page? Hard to trust in this modern age Is this love or lusting? On the prowl for something Hard to trust in this modern age
