[Verse 1: Dessa]

I took it for a kiss, but it couldn't have been, could it?

I see now what it is, we were just biting the same bullet

You called it in the air

It landed on its edge

When the crowd gathers around

You turn tail, I turn heads

Shavin' down the puzzle piece

Tryna make a clean fit

Take what is lovely

Leave before the rain hits

It's a heartbreaker for starters

As you age, not too much changes

Practice doesn't make perfect

Just makes the game more dangerous

[Verse 2: P.O.S]

Yeah, start repo

Negative sleep, nauseous

Barf party for sure

Intelligent creep stalking, awkward

Flush, flustered, rush for doors

Advance fire-plan

Handy with the way out, routes explored

Cover catching up

Careful with your care

We don't go there, naw

We keep locks and keys steadily swallowed, shocked

Never be followed, none of 'em dare

Channel up your anger, leave it here

Kindly disappear

Mind your mannerisms

I can't be flattered back

The patterns, the concern

Lessons prob'ly turned to fact

By now you'd surely drown yourself

Before you'd help me with this sail

I'm in the wind, crossed fingers for the win

Up to ten, til they hammer in the very last nail

Challenging like every last stalemate

Deal with it

No mission ends

Precision lack of friends

Happily recommend nothing to no one, like ever

[Hook: Cecil Otter & Dessa]

I know, I know, I know

Wake up, wake up

But I don't go there, go there

She knows the way home

I know, I know, I know

Wake up, wake up

But I don't go there, go there

She knows the way home

[Verse 3: Cecil Otter]

You know your way home?

You gonna be all right?

Yeah, but I had faith that you'd see the light

And ride with me, or kiss me goodbye

And now you got me feeding kites into the night sky

Covered them with nightlights, like, did you see the beacon?

I swear, I let those kites fly around all weekend, no?

Well, someone must have cut the lines or something, no?

Or maybe something, oh, you weren't lookin'

Okay, Plan B, just panic

Run up the stairs and shut the door to the attic

And don't come up for air until you're torn from her fabric completely

And just like magic, you're all in one piece again

But, I'm nothing like I used to be

Elusive and reclusive

Now I'm just both times a hundred, exclusively

And, truthfully, I was blind to the deep end

Until that piece of us went and died that weekend

[Hook: Cecil Otter & Dessa]

I know, I know, I know

Wake up, wake up

But I don't go there, go there

She knows the way home

I know, I know, I know

Wake up, wake up

But I don't go there, go there

She knows the way home

[Verse 4: Sims]

Then it flashed forward, but I asked for it

Rip out the doubt, I'm way too south

I gulped it up, I laid back

Peeling off the layers, the mantra saying:

"Fear can't stay here; self, see you later"

Fire chakra, dissolve to ether

I have to meet her, know she knows the way

I'll have to die twice, no Novocaine

See the Eye of Horus, I am Osiris

I meet the devil, it ain't the first time

He kills me quick, like I am nothin'

Scream "St. Peter, I need you now, cousin"

See the owls comin', they float me safe

I learn their grace, they help me heal

Under stars, peeling off my skin to rid my scars

It's the first time

I am reborn, but I am not me

No identity, and I am finally free

I am my brother, I am my father

I am the sun, I am the water

I am an ion, I am everything

I am the vapor, a cloud of smoke

I am a cheap laugh, but I get the joke

I am a brief flash, the abstract

(The abstract, the abstract, the abstract...)
