[Part I: Freudian]

[Intro]

Oh

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]

You are the reason

The reason I sing

I have to preserve you

'Cause you're my everything, mm

Babe, I know I fucked up

Fucked with some empty cups

But you got your friends too

Better believe in it

Truth ― I'm up on my luck

Can't stop runnin' amok

But you got your friends too

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]

I just want to thank you for savin' my life, yes

I just want to thank you for all your advice

[Bridge: Choir]

Woah-oh, (Hmm) oh

Woah, woah, wow

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar & Choir]

You are the reason (Ooh), the reason I'm alive

I must bring you honor (Honor, oh), if I don't, I'll die

Ma', I know I brought shame (Ma', I know I brought shame)

Put a mark on your name (Put a mark on your name)

But you got your thangs too (You got your thangs too)

Better believe it (You got your thangs too), I'm

Risin' up from the flames (Risin' up from the flames)

The phoenix that I became (The phoenix that I became)

But you got your thangs too (You got your thangs)

Oh, help me sing

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar & Choir]

I just want to thank you for givin' me life, yes

I just want to thank you for all your advice

[Interlude: Choir & Daniel Caesar]

Send me kisses when it's grey skies

Its been so long, look how time flies

If you love me, won't you let me know?

I've been tryna learn to let you go

Call my name whenever tears fall

When you face your fears, you'll stand tall, oh-woah (Ooh)

Send me kisses when it's grey skies

(Can't you see?)

It's been so long, look how time flies

(I'm spending all)

If you love me, won't you let me know?

(This time)

I've been tryna learn to let you go

Call my name whenever tears fall

(Come with me)

When you face your fears, you'll stand tall, oh-woah

(I hope we can) Oh-woah (Rewind)

[Verse 3: Daniel Caesar]

Know I'd take a bullet for you

No, you don't know what I go through

And I know you think you're kind of nice

Do you remember when I saved your life?

Don't come at me on some weak shit

It's time you stopped displaying weakness, oh-oh, oh

[Outro: Sean Leon]

Ahem, hey mama

It's your second son, still the same, ain't changed, mama

Made some change (Made some change)

Times have changed on me

Times have changed (Minds have changed)

And mine feels strange, mama

I feel ashamed (What could I say to you?)

(Face to face with my fate, I lost my faith)

Face to face with my fate, mama, I lost my faith (Faith)

[Part II: Human Sacrifice]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse: Daniel Caesar]

Isn't it nice?

Human sacrifice

The universe got it, I got too excited

And now we're taking life

Isn't it nice?

Human sacrifi―

I hate consequences, that shit's too expensive

You keep chasing delight

Isn't it nice?

Human sacrifice

I take the easy way out, every time

I don't deserve my own life

Isn't it nice?

Human sacrifice, oh yes

[Outro: Daniel Caesar]

They say I'm a martyr

Charge that to my ego

I just want all the lights
