[Chorus]

Bygone boy

Running on empty

Never did break

Everything bent me

Every mistake, got stakes in my psyche

Had a lead foot, so I learn to tread lightly

Bygone man

Running on gas

And ain't shit changed from a seminar class

I'm a little more brittle but I snap like sesame

Rap be my effigy, clap for the rest of me

[Verse 1]

Twenty-one-three

I was busy making music for my buddies and me

Me and Cat were in that student house, loving with ease

I know we're still likе that

So I can swallow any pill until the pill bite back

Back then, I wasn't strеssing

Broke with my baby still felt like a blessing

Reflection in my eyes from the half moon crescent

We could stay up all night

Now the world keeps spinning when it's outta my sight

We chased paper cause we had to

Wedding dress hanging up in moms by the bathroom

Never did it wrong, but it's sad when it pass by

I spent a while in the iris of a glass eye

Now my kid need food, my friends needing me too

My day job's gonna break me like a day job do

All my heroes slowly fade, I'm alone on the stage

But I no longer feel rage when I serenade you

[Chorus]

Bygone boy

Running on empty

Never did break

Everything bent me

Every mistake, got stakes in my psyche

Had a lead foot, so I learn to tread lightly

Bygone man

Running on gas

And ain't shit changed from a seminar class

I'm a little more brittle but I snap like sesame

Rap be my effigy, clap for the rest of me

[Bridge]

I try to slow my breathing

I try to stop that watch

Wish I could freeze these moments

Keep all the photographs safe in a box

[Verse 2]

I'm on top but I'm tripping every single time I cough

Getting lost in my worry

So I put that on the rocks

Growing up in a hurry

Like I only just met her

My past got buried when my days got better

And away we go

It was black eyed peas on the radio

Now I'm all jacked up behind lazy flows

Scrutinizing my work

Wonder how my form look when I lie in the dirt

One day I might forget my ascension

How I made the whole scene pay attention

I get lost in the talks and the tension

Bygones from my heart when I mention

[Chorus]

Bygone boy

Running on empty

Never did break

Everything bent me

Every mistake, got stakes in my psyche

Had a lead foot, so I learn to tread lightly

Bygone man

Running on gas

And ain't shit changed from a seminar class

I'm a little more brittle but I snap like sesame

Rap be my effigy, clap for the rest of me
