FIREWORKS. #track1 #squidhop #lyrics
this was the hardest secret that i've ever had to keep
one member in my audience who i'm telling go to sleep
but i haven't been that honest lately, cheating every way
sugar, whiskey, reefer, rapping, cowgirls left at bay
deadlines barreling at me like an acme freight train
inspiration's on leave in a snowy mountain getaway
miss hearing your voice as you talk me to sleep
text messages aren't coming incessantly
thumbs are gaining weight, out of shape, like a freak
might as well hitch a ride upstate for a week
eardrums are missing our expanding mash-up
stagnant, no vibrations or libations of hip hop
where'd you go, new york, my muse
you've finally, successfully, lit the fuse
but you're running fast as i burn, soon i'll burst
i'm not the bomb baby, i'm the fireworks
shoulda stuck with words in text-based verse
shoulda known impulses would only get worse
stress, self doubt, i'm naked in the city
jumping back in time, changing my mind, what a pity
(chorus)
come back to me, baby, come and feed my brain
give me that mind sex, i'm going insane
in a rampage of fury, alone, untamed
you got me so good, i'm ashamed
i was moving day to day in such a way
it was working so well, i didn't need a change
you came knocking, and wanting, you moved massive walls
just to prove you were strong, that you could make them fall
but just as i called it, they're falling, you're stalling
you're not ready for this, you're refusing the calling
you came, you saw, you conquered, now i'm crazy
gotta get away, take a break, go be lazy
promised i wouldn't be the one to leave
got your work cut out, cut it big, as you please
ya chased and you caught me and ya tore me to shreds
just to stitch me back together, mended by your threads
i don't believe in secrets and i know you don't tell lies
only so much to be seen in two dimensional eyes
wanna touch, wanna smell, wanna feel your skin
when it's cold at night, i want you to tuck me in
i need that hybrid gucci di gio
need it on my neck and on my pillow
you could make me gush with a blink of your eyes
from across the country, you don't realize.
(chorus)
come back to me, baby, come and feed this brain
wanna weave your days with mine once again
overzealous with my passion, irrational, aflame
don't know how you got me it's absurd, i'm deranged
in this moment i'm exploding, not much else to say
your radioactivity is suffering rapid decay
you're busy, stressin', got bills to pay
a house that leaks heat, legal matters on the brain
i hear that, i got you, i know the pain
got issues of my own that i'm trying to train
when you stop askin' questions you were asking before
ya sound like an actor -- fact, fiction or folklore.
with the directive of a shrink and the drive of a chemist
neither fuel moves you west over highway sixty six.
i'm patient, i'm waiting, keeping myself quiet
while my muse moves his music to a digital Hyatt
metaphors, my bad, you know i'm trying
to tone down the allegory so you could hear my words flying
they tell me i have issues packing syllables into lines
"b squid, they don't fit!" but i'm new to these rhymes
i've written a thousand love letters but never rapped til you
came outta the woodworks and into my view
when i started this track i was feeling pretty blue
but by verse number three, that was no longer true
stay on my page, til we both know every word
millions left to write, and i'll see that they get heard
by one member of my audience, not a second or third,
forever is a timeline that's not to be disturbed.
(chorus)
come back to me, baby, come and feed this brain
wanna weave your days with mine once again
overzealous with my passion, irrational, aflame
don't know how you got me it's absurd, i'm deranged
i know you're still here, my dear, so come feed this brain
we always meet in the middle, but it's me who is lame
projecting my fears with tears, and then they wane
got me, can't drop me, don't let go, not today
(chorus)
come back to me baby, so i can feed your brain
wanna wake up all your senses, wanna make you feel changed
lay your bets, no regrets, while it's still fun and games
you got me, can't drop me, don't let go, not today
