[Chorus]

When poetry isn't enough

And all those fucks forgot to call your bluff

While you’re sitting there holding your wrists

You got cut down by my kiss

Tastes like Sierra Mist combined with Sunkist

I have lemon twist to a story full of lullabies and youthful melodies

I can still remember songs I used to sing when I was three

And here you are, near the stars

Take 'em all and give them to me

I wanna set you free, and let you see

You're my wonder boy


[Verse 1]

I remember how we met at that candlelight vigil down in Orlando

We made hasty indecisions about what we wanted and when we did

When we went public, damn, we hid

Inside of a cereal box of sex on acid

We parked so close to each others cars, setting off the alarms

From vibes that we gave each other like glowing mason jars

Boy you a star crunch, a midnight munch

Of saying too much, alone but I don’t give a fuck


[Verse 2]

I'm with you now, face down on a mattress, I pounce

A pound of wine or a pint of regrets in a flask

Don't kiss my ass, boy kiss my lips

I play for keeps, you suck for tips

Don't need the Prozac, you best forget that

You're in my backpack, you're like a leg tat

Hey where's my head pat? I need the med vac

I heard my heart crack, before I read that

That you were done with me, you ain't deserving me

You put the hurt on me, you wouldn’t pardon me

So I regrettably show my teeth or did I regret it all, you’ll never know

'Cause you never asked those types of questions


[Bridge: Etika & (Value)]

Every time someone compliments you it builds up pressure (You’re stuck in my head)

Depending on the nature of the compliment, it builds up a little bit more or a little bit less (I said, you're stuck in my head)

But the point

The point is that it builds pressure, expectation, tension (You're stuck in my head)

(I said, you're stuck in my head)


[Chorus]

When poetry isn’t enough

And all those fucks forgot to call your bluff

While you're sitting there holding your wrists

You got cut down by my kiss

Tastes like Sierra Mist combined with Sunkist

I have lemon twist to a story full of lullabies and youthful melodies

I can still remember songs I used to sing when I was three

And here you are, near the stars

Take 'em all and give them to me

I wanna set you free, and let you see

You're my wonder boy
