Beacon

[Verse 1: Dessa] I took it for a kiss, but it couldn't have been, could it? I see now what it is, we were just biting the same bullet You called it in the air It landed on its edge When the crowd gathers around You turn tail, I turn heads Shavin' down the puzzle piece Tryna make a clean fit Take what is lovely Leave before the rain hits It's a heartbreaker for starters As you age, not too much changes Practice doesn't make perfect Just makes the game more dangerous [Verse 2: P.O.S] Yeah, start repo Negative sleep, nauseous Barf party for sure Intelligent creep stalking, awkward Flush, flustered, rush for doors Advance fire-plan Handy with the way out, routes explored Cover catching up Careful with your care We don't go there, naw We keep locks and keys steadily swallowed, shocked Never be followed, none of 'em dare Channel up your anger, leave it here Kindly disappear Mind your mannerisms I can't be flattered back The patterns, the concern Lessons prob'ly turned to fact By now you'd surely drown yourself Before you'd help me with this sail I'm in the wind, crossed fingers for the win Up to ten, til they hammer in the very last nail Challenging like every last stalemate Deal with it No mission ends Precision lack of friends Happily recommend nothing to no one, like ever [Hook: Cecil Otter & Dessa] I know, I know, I know Wake up, wake up But I don't go there, go there She knows the way home I know, I know, I know Wake up, wake up But I don't go there, go there She knows the way home [Verse 3: Cecil Otter] You know your way home? You gonna be all right? Yeah, but I had faith that you'd see the light And ride with me, or kiss me goodbye And now you got me feeding kites into the night sky Covered them with nightlights, like, did you see the beacon? I swear, I let those kites fly around all weekend, no? Well, someone must have cut the lines or something, no? Or maybe something, oh, you weren't lookin' Okay, Plan B, just panic Run up the stairs and shut the door to the attic And don't come up for air until you're torn from her fabric completely And just like magic, you're all in one piece again But, I'm nothing like I used to be Elusive and reclusive Now I'm just both times a hundred, exclusively And, truthfully, I was blind to the deep end Until that piece of us went and died that weekend [Hook: Cecil Otter & Dessa] I know, I know, I know Wake up, wake up But I don't go there, go there She knows the way home I know, I know, I know Wake up, wake up But I don't go there, go there She knows the way home [Verse 4: Sims] Then it flashed forward, but I asked for it Rip out the doubt, I'm way too south I gulped it up, I laid back Peeling off the layers, the mantra saying: "Fear can't stay here; self, see you later" Fire chakra, dissolve to ether I have to meet her, know she knows the way I'll have to die twice, no Novocaine See the Eye of Horus, I am Osiris I meet the devil, it ain't the first time He kills me quick, like I am nothin' Scream "St. Peter, I need you now, cousin" See the owls comin', they float me safe I learn their grace, they help me heal Under stars, peeling off my skin to rid my scars It's the first time I am reborn, but I am not me No identity, and I am finally free I am my brother, I am my father I am the sun, I am the water I am an ion, I am everything I am the vapor, a cloud of smoke I am a cheap laugh, but I get the joke I am a brief flash, the abstract (The abstract, the abstract, the abstract...)
