[Intro: with Lara Sluyter]

(Why do you seem so scared?)

Who are you?

(You're not afraid of the dark, are you?)

What do you want from me? Who sent you?

(Don’t be afraid. Come with me.)

(You hide, and I'll find you.)

(I'm so lonely. I know things no one knows. You’re going to die)

You don't know anything. Don't touch me

(Come to me, the man in the dark said, or else you won't see the sunset.)

(Help me. I'm begging you. Can you help me?)


[Verse]

And I oddly sense their whimpers

My god, my ears so clogged but I've been nodding to their whispers

They're speaking to me deeply, trying to get in the picture

But I framed in all of what they've been saying in my scriptures

They say they see my future and what I’m doing is crucial

Talking bout "you need guidance young sire, let me recruit ya"

How am I supposed to understand? Feeling like a kid again

Hide under the blankets til the angels let me go to bed

Position changing through every phase of the night

No sleeping, they made me fight

Just take my brain to the light

Exhausted and awfully bothered by all of these talking monsters

It’s awkward and probably nonsense and all of it feels so toxic

I'm going dumb off of these sedatives

Just tryna stay away from these revenants

Sure wish I did have me some evidence

But then again it’d lead to more negligence, fout dormi then

This is just my mama's gift, she passed it on to her kids

Since then been talking to mist, these shadows be thick as shit

Ain't no rapture, it's quite the bitch

Disastrous I’ll admit, the battling of a skitzo

I promise it's not a luxury

Proceed with caution, you ain't gonna sleep

This ain't what I thought by "I need company"

All these ghosts are a product of what's become of me


[Outro]

I don't want your conversation, seeing you already is a burden

I wish you had me mistaken to try and justify your lurking

Your presence really got me burning, it's resonating through the surface

I guess my karma's really working, if I clarify then it'll worsen

Please listen this is urgent, nah nigga lay in the dirt ditch

No I don't plan to understand you cause you really make me nervous

But why's that hard for you to grasp? Oh now you flinch on talking back

I guess you're living in the past, well that makes the 2 of us so sad
