Have you ever made a song?

Have you ever grappled with the past until the pain is gone?

Pen it down, until my fingers raw

I tore some pages off

Have you ever waited for reception in the rain, so long

And wondered if you ever really made a song

Or if you just created what you think you saw?

Have you ever waited to perform inside a daylight bar?

And have you ever had your patience plucked away each day you're on?

And saw the faces of the small crowd walk away

Because you are not the regular

And never been ashamed at all?

Have you ever made em cry?

Have you ever took a life, and paid the price?

And have you had a book to write, of pain and vice?

I exchanged that for some great advice

I had laid that under ladylike peonies

Painted-white deities in his house, hanging like CCTV

Bouncing off the walls, like the CD screen

Wild that you called, I been sleeping deep

Day dreams keep me sane, recently

So, it seems

Have you ever sewed a seam, seething-ly? Hoping it would stay for good

Only for the way it should be, to escape afoot?

Fate is such way to look at this life

Yeah, it's like i'm tied to a weighted hook, pacified

I had to explain it, looking at the sky

Have you ever wondered why love can all a sudden die?

Love is like a butterfly

Beautiful, and showing up for summertime

When I've grown cold, she'll cut the ties

Love your eyes

Have you ever wondered why I chose you?

Baby, have you ever wrote a poem to any other girls?

I just wanna know

I'm a lover girl

Think I fell in love with a hundred girls

You ain't just a number girl

But them digits like the wonders of the world

Never had a cover story to hit up a cover girl

I was young discovered girls

It was like another world

I just hope she'll never know that I've gone to the underworld

You could never understand

Unless you understand

Have you ever stood your ground, even while becoming sand?

Have you ever fought a battle with the shadow of a man?

And you never had a chance

You grapple with his hands

But he swallow you inside, like the sap into a plant

I swallow full my pride, went down like an avalanche

You the apple to my eye

Like you Adam with a tie

And you adamant that I am like Alice in her mind

We a match within the sky

Have you, as a child, ever had to live a lie?

Fabric was not your style, but you hadn't figured why

You wore it once to class, and they laugh until they cried

And now I wonder if they gon attack my ass at pride

Get they asses back inside

Cuz baby, I won't ever send they asses back alive

Took an acid bath, I'm high

Have you had a capsule that encapsulate the sky?

This my castle in the sky, in my flat just passing time

Grip this talisman of mine, tight

Wallow in the wine

While my shadow sit behind, polite

A pacifist this time

I have half to think he's lying

I looked down from my disguise, and in that was my demise

Have you ever wrote a song?

I have never wrote a song

Every sentence goes along

And I've spilled a thousand ills, still, I never know what's wrong

Have you ever let it go?

I have never really known, what I've left until it's gone

And so I present to y'all, everything I've ever lost

With a pretty film, and gloss

And a city filled with props

And a pretty field with crops

I already killed the cops

They already dealing drops

How to steady kill the cost

They indebted to a god

That's a deal I never got

Something swimming in the water

Y'all can feel it at the top

Like a demon at the dock

So I'm keeping out my cross

Until finally, I see it sneaking out at 5 o'clock

Shadow man, shadow man, in the sea's shallow end

Shadow man, shadow man, in the sea's shallow end

Shadow man, we shall meet again

Shadow man, shadow man
