A foggy window, he sat there drawing leopards

A spotty system, his dad was spinning records

Against the crackle, you wishful, something better

Then underneath it

Carve out another letter in reverse

What i hold myself to is something worse

$100

Stretched out against the curve

The street winding

The song skips but it lurks

The deeper i get, the more i pinch on my nerves

This is where i said it’d lead

The river strеam

Opens in the mouth of the sеtting sea

My teeth crooked

A map is something i could never read

I stumble forward

Til i pass something strong to rest against

Some distant shelter fading

Something unlived

Sixty meters make-shift

Almost in bits

I crouch close against the window mist

Some hand drawn message that fills me in

This is where i said it’d lead

This is where i said it’d lead

This is where i said it’d lead

This is where i said it’d lead

(Will Kobus)

This is where I said it’d lead, astray, huh

I done dealt mistakes

And did me dirty more the same, huh

Brick and mortar building on the daily

Ain’t a break

That I could settle with

More scared of falling short

Than falling fain

Lighter-headed from indebted nature

Mocking all the weight

My momma told me time to take a minute

Working to your wake

Is not a way a live

I’m sorry I was late

To make it home from doing similar

To keep food on the plate (ugh)

Three sons, and no man around

The one I had, erased

I had to crop him out the picture

Stopping short in terms of fate

Fake tendencies

Some shit too hard to shake

The way she reasoned with my father

Mad bereaving of the ways

That ion ever wanna touch again

Like germaphobic frame

Of mindin

Stuck reminding, why I’m mining

Mantras send a rhyme in

Excavating, rabbit hole too deep

Without refinement

Digging deeper

Keeping off, we never stay reclining

This is where i said it’d lead

This is where i said it’d lead

This is where i said it’d lead

This is where i said it’d lead
