[Verse 1: Adam Machine]

Woke up, reading receipts like recipes

Nothing but unfinished lyrics tryna order McDonald’s Pepsi

Lookin’ ‘round, wonder if these sleepless nights meant something

Writing lines thinkin’ in soundin’ like John Wesley, not bluffin’

I succeed, I exceed, complexities all I need

I bleed, for the dream, for the fire that feeds me

Long nights got me tired, hurt still, I kept pressin’

Chasing that success while I’m learning my lesson

Long nights got me tired off the excess

Holding onto faith like I’m lеarning to confess

See, I’m looking back, wondering’ what it all means

Pockеt full of pipe dreams, but they staying empty

Suns up now, just wanna break through

Every blood shed led to this view

They thought I’d fall, but look who’s here

Inside you, I’m the reason that you’re clear

I was drowning in noise, I was drowning in doubt

Tryna write the perfect verse, but kept editing it out

All the pieces that were me, all the moments unclean

‘Til I saw the sunrise wasn’t out there

It was inbetween

Now I’m here with the scars, with the pages that I burned

With the beats that I buried

And the lessons that I learned

You can’t fake light, nah, it don’t come cheap

You can’t skip grief and expect to go deep

I was preaching with no choir

Climbing with no rope

Tryna trade love for legacy

But I chocked on hope

Every freestyle was therapy, but I called it a verse

Truth hurts, but now denial is worse

Now I see me, finally, not the myth I drew

Not the pose, not the voice, just me pushing through

You don’t need to be saved, you need to remember who

Lit the flame, held the pen, made it all back

Yeah, it’s inside you


[Verse 2: walmartworker76]

Everyday I’m in my bag like fast food

I’ve only grown up since Quien Sos 2

Every single call Adam’s like “why are you so rude?”

There’s not a lot to it, I’m just having a bad day dude

All this music shit put so much stress on me

I’ve always wondered why George Bhutt talks funny

I guess God leaves mystery’s unanswered

I’m thinking about all the albums I’ve canceled

If I quit at Goodbye, would I come back

Either way I hate the French with a dime bag

Once again, I’m always in my bag


[Verse 3: MantisManiac]

The sun looked at me, and said “go, and be free”

There’s nothing inside that could hold you down

Nothing that could tear you apart

But I said “hey, Mr sun”

Won’t you look at me

I don’t believe anything you’re saying, and I know it’s a big lie

Everybody just tries to hide and deny that everything’s bad

But sometimes things inside aren’t so bad


[Verse 4: Adam Machine]

Long nights tried to break me

Twist my mind outta fate

Had me lost in the dark, stuck, counting the days

But the ink kept flowing

When the hope ran thin, now at staring at the dawn with a back breaking in

Every set back, every paged I burned

Every sleepless hour was a bridge I earned

Thought I’d drown in the weight, of the songs I faked

But I saw the light, every time I ate

The sky bleeds gold, and the fears are small

The light can’t blind me when I’m standing tall

All the loops, all the maps, all the spirals I drew

They were maps to myself, each one came true

Tried for the past, tried to echo the bets

‘Til I learned every line from the soul hits chest

So when you’re stuck in the night, think you’ll never transcend

Long nights are the hardest, but it will all make sense in the end

When in the sun comes up again


[Outro]

Ayyyeeeee (woo!)
