Flicker

[Hook] One little flicker of light Can erase the dark One little flicker of light Can erase the dark [Verse 1] Yeah I been drinkin’, You already know Do I smell like escape? Probably so I found your tape in my old collection Put it in pushed play then I poured a fresh one I look back with a hesitant laugh But in reality it’s dark down memory ave All the trials and suffering we shared with each other A lot of people thought that we were actually brothers You know me, you know I’m a control freak Who told you, you could die before me? Gone, another dog lost to the wild I feel like a snot-nosed child And when I hear your Smile Its outlined in sadness You poked holes in the magic You taught jokes to the clowns That never learned how To appreciate the lights Before the bulbs burned out Flicker [Hook] One little flicker of light Can erase the dark One little flicker of light Can erase the dark [Verse 2] Yeah, I been thinking, You already know Do I sound frustrated? Probably so Sometimes I feel guilty, I was out on the road If I’da seen where it was going I’da stopped the whole show I realize it ain’t realistic I keep tryna make the pieces fit with The info presented I felt resentment I held this against myself I wanna help my friend It stays in my head That I was on a stage when you were laying in bed Body was discovered by your own mother It penetrates my chest, I still taste the regret That I slept through a late night call from your homie But then I spoke with Siddiq the next morning And then I smoked one million cigarettes Go figure, maybe I was tryna catch up with ya Flicker [Hook] One little flicker of light Can erase the dark One little flicker of light Can erase the dark [Verse 3] Yeah I been sinkin’, you already know Do I look exhausted? Probably so I don’t get much sleep I’m not sick, I’m fine I’m just tryna make the most of this limited time And I’m missing you but I ain’t gonna lie The distance grew between Eye and I And at the end, even though we didn’t speak enough You were easily one of the best people I’ve loved Now I’m tryna write a song for a dead songwriter That wrote they own songs about life and death And every breath is full of self-awareness Don’t ever be afraid to be embarrassed So I wrote these words to describe what I cry about But I’m certain if you were here right now You’d ridicule these lyrics, you’d hate this chorus You’d probably tell me that the concept is too straight forward Flicker [Hook] One little flicker of light Can erase the dark One little flicker of light Can erase the dark
