house settling (feat. Danny Brown)

First things first, can we get shit straight? I've been alone since you left me in your wake I've been alone to reflect on my mistakes I've been alone since, when When you offered me your forgiveness I was beggin' you not to breathe in Tried to yell at you from a distance Could you tell when you let me sleep in? Put my feet on the floor over each, every board Heard a creak, turnin' weak, turn the heat up some more It was spreading, you said, "It's the house settling Nothing, nothing, a howl in the wind" Rationalize me away if it helps Home, sweet home, I can't stay nowhere else I coddled up in a vase on the shelf Ashes, ashes, a place to myself Anything Give me anything Can't let you be House settling Cracks in the wall, frames that hide it all Dents in the rug, aging cytosol Breathe in the air, facin' my withdrawals Taken by a god, breakin' my alarms Dead to me Dead to me Let you breathe House settling Lock out the pity, you've been dizzy, you've been tired You've been busy, keep yourself busy, let the paint dry I feel guilty, I feel guilty, I can't say why Would you see through the CO? Breaks my heart, but I'll give it a try Dead to me! (What else am I supposed to do?) Dead to me! (Didn't want to cause pain to you) Let you breathe! (Just to make my presence known) House settling! (Until it's set in stone) No, you can't see me, but when you smell me We goin' off on a deep sleep When you inhale me, no, you won't feel me We-we're goin' down six feet Creep, creep through the crack in the walls Was never there when you called Now you trapped in that fog Now you're trapped in that fog Ain't tryna gas you out But right now, that's what's happenin' No cappin', fresh out the stove It's all over, now it's closed caskets You're dead to me, so rest in peace When you run into a nigga like me (like me) Make it real hard to breathe Now you're stuck and can't leave Can't touch or feel me, but when you're near me Fill up your chest and your eyes get teary Say your peace, say no more grief It's over now, your soul will sleep No more pain, don't hurt no more You lost everything you working for But life goes on, just not with you Life goes on, just not with you I'm the air you breathe, can't get away from me Kill everything, no place for me Said no one's safe, when I touch your face I'ma leave it cold, just how it go You're dead to me, just go to sleep You're dead to me, say R.I.P. You're dead to me, just go to sleep You're dead to me, say R.I.P Can't let you be House settling
