(Verse 1)

I'm sitting on memory foam, tapping again

Wondering raps again

South west rail moving again

Shuffling, clicking my pen

Cos stepping off the platform swiftly

EDEN panned right, I still hug tight if it kills me

Whilst the hunk-a-junk is soaring

Sat in passenger seating

That feels a little better than holding tight for no reason

I'll let the roads I know guide me through these golden hour streets

Take a step back, breathe, focus on what I can see

Well what can I see? I'm looking through new eyes

I fast forward, I rewind

Diving to the future but Eckhart said presents the only time

Well what's attacking me with thеse rhymes?

Unprocessеd feelings addressing digital ties

Fear and denial, I know I couldn't identify it (hoping)

But scared, had to resurface the pain I had to fight it

Lower yourself down to their level

They'll beat you at their own game

But you're attached, intoxicate your brain

Losing yourself in the moment forgetting the reason that you came

Keep your head above the water? But bro I've forgotten my own name

We're playing games (I'm drowning), with unreasonable reasons

I couldn't let them catch me, I can't sink any deeper

But take to 30 years later, you're sat in a sweaty wife beaters

And you're angry about the world because

She chose to fucking leave you

But if I told her right now, would the pain sting any deeper? (fucking real)

And would you even know your reasons?

(Chorus 1)

Slice a fine line here, hold, trust the feeling

Crack the hatch, leaving lowered ceilings

I won't, try to make them see

Moonlight breezes are all I need

And know I owe you too, and I've got work to do

Pain in your eyes ain't one bad mood

These pretty lies, sit on ugly truths

But believe the change and it'll come to you

(Verse 2)

Man I knew this, a real fix

Considering, hoping, feeling

Needed information, introspection, get me through this, see

I'll stand up until my face lifts

But hold your own, hold it, Kae Tempest had my tears fixed

Yesterday I smashed my phone, I couldn't face it

But till I've learned to get it fixed

All I've done is take the hit right (fuck sake)... in a bit

I've taken one too many... lended ears to everyone

They giving em back? I spent days waiting (I ain't waiting)

Lucky my mental healths behaving

We have our ups, our lockdowns, we dunno what we're facing

We all need a bit of therapy, all these men need saving

So frown your eyes once more, am I drowning, am I waving?

I went insane my trust deflating

You wouldn't hurt me bro? You're faking

I couldn't take the thought (couldn't take it)... but beauty hides in ugly places

Idealising changes, wait before you chase it man

Happiness ain't a destination - I forget that on the daily

I forget women who made me (made me)

From pain to my upraising

I've got a lot to unlearn, I still benefit from slavery

Embracing autumn leaves, inhaling in our cages

Stretching our muscles bro (stretch em out), these locks are weak, and we can break em

One day at a time, cos fulfilment ain't a late shift

It doesn't exist, taste the breeze, its contagious

Change is knowing you can make it

No options when you say it

We're growing harmony, I've started re-arranging pages

(Chorus 2)

Slice a fine line here, hold, trust the feeling (trust the feeling)

Crack the hatch, leaving lowered ceilings

I won't, try and make them see

Moonlight breezes are all I need

I know I owe you too, and I've got work to do

Pain in your eyes ain't one bad mood (stand up)

These pretty lies, sit on ugly truths

But believe the change and it'll come to you (believe the change, believe the change)

(Outro)

Believe the change and it'll come to you (the thought is all you need)

Just believe the change and it'll come to you
