[Intro]

And to remember, it was a sin to kill a mockingbird?

(Why?)

Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy

They don't eat people's gardens

They don't nest in the corn cribs

They don't do one thing, but sing their hearts out for us

[Verse 1: SeeNick]

How could I kill a mockingbird

If it’s staring back and mocking me?

I hit the ground, life is glaring back and flaunting teeth

This is when my past lashes back it’s haunting me

The night before, I was meant to come home

I sat in my room with no messages on my phone

No people to turn and talk to no safe and comfortable zone

For the first time in months, I was truly alone

And that's all that I could be

And that's all that I could be

And that's all that I could be, and that's all

I couldn’t shapeshift or transform

Wind whipping through the window was raising a sandstorm

The dust that collected when I gathered no lichens suddenly

Bust unprotected as they slashed through the silence

As I absently-minded reclined and gradually sighed

How the hell did I manage to lose track of these lines?

And slip off of the path, the place where gravity pines

To grab at me attack and cease the masterpiece rhymes

And that’s all that I could say

[Verse 2: Kat Tan]

Forgiveness? Mine?

What is forgiveness and why do you want it from me?

Forgive?

Forgive what?

You mean, look past your wrongs and see only the bright laughing parts of your soul

Forgiveness?

Or, do you want me to dust your wrongs on a philosophical balance

Strip your wrongs bare to the bone, redress the hurt you dealt me so recklessly, and clothe it with fake gold?

Or, forgiveness

Look your wrongs straight in the face

Straight at the smoky eye rolled cheeks to pay

Laugh at myself

I thought you were somebody else

It was stupid of me

I'm sorry

This kind of forgiveness?

I don't know what you mean by it, besides

You've given me no evidence for why I shouldn't just forget

What?

Who?

[Verse 3: SeeNick]

I said I love you, knowing you loved me more

What else was I to do, know what I’m running for

Not office, though I seemed to govern your actions

Your emotions and reactions dependent on satisfaction

If ever I’m mad or sad then immediately I’m captain

Whenever you needed help and I’m busy that’s when I cash in

Relaxing, glad that commitment remains ephemeral

And then when you do see me I’m no longer invincible

When you finally see me you’re no longer invisible

When it hits me I’m terrible at this that’s when I’m miserable

Never could break your heart when you might be in a depression

Never thought I’m the problem or catalyst or a mention

Ducking all of your messages living with false pretenses

That everything is the best when it’s really awful and hectic

It’s not an apology, it’s not a confession

It’s a fact a statement observation learning a lesson

And that's all that I could say

[Bridge: JT]

I know neither of us perfect

But we used to be worth it

Look back, only feel like it was worthless

Remember when the thought of you made me nervous

Future beautifully uncertain

Now all we do is hurt, tag-team turned to versus

I used to be wordless

Now I'm churning out verses

Losing you with the allegations

I got no inspiration

We went together like thoughts on pages

And now we're lost in translation

I want to move on, but you always feel like staying

I want to move on, but you always feel like staying

[Outro: SeeNick]

I thought I did it all, apparently I didn’t so I got to get it off

Of my chest, one last time to relieve the stress

The press, no longer try to impress because

If I make the wrong impression

The songs can step into the wrong section, and I

Try, to reach but my mind realizes when I try

I end up seething

That is not the goal, that is not the goal, that is not the gold

Medal I can fold

No, see, I know that it’s made

Of plastic trying to win me back said we had this

In our hands but it’s lost now

So I want to switch the song now, want to take it all down

And that’s all and that’s all I can, I , can say and that’s all I can say!
