deathmask . . .

[Intro] Navy, Blue, truest [Verse] Shadow with me while I'm steppin' on my own resentment Life scatter in all directions, I was overzealous Overcurious, Momma worry her days get better I know she heard me, a timid voice in her stormy weather And Poppa taught me our ancestors were tarred and feathered And brought across the sea, bodies swinging from poplar trees I wore a modernesque version, my burden haunted me I cautiously approach the rather daunting sea By nightfall I face the man I'm 'sposed to be All this grief, been eatin' away my stomach lining It's hard to eat when my poppa image stuck inside me I wore his death mask, smilin' through the trauma In his honor, I'm expounding Seein' eyes of a woman, 'cause they will always doubt me In the midst of my cautiousness, my prudence found me Oh watch as I dismiss this envy when it do surround me
