Running Sand

[Verse 1]

Don't sell me no half-truths, the devil is a liar

I was hiding in the back room

My projection wasn't astral

Seeking every answer to the questions I ain't ask you

It ain't fiction if it's factual

Weaving through the past fractals

In the present-future tripping, it's unnatural

It's like a never-ending fall through the wind

Pray a big soft cloud catch you, uh

Or you hit the ground hard

Making promises you can't keep ain't reasoning with God

Tried leaning into loss, it was a dark place

The shadow grew inside the room that I would toss in the heartaches

Too often, two feet and a few options

Either stand still walk or run, who uttering a godsend

Bogged in and bogged down

I let the calm in and calmed down

All that hellish filth about, I couldn't walk around

Eggshell and egret walls

When I was eager to release it all

The door swung closed, heaven knows I didn't see me sleeping in this hall

[Chorus]

You born, you live, you die

My mama said "Don't rush it," I can't function with my pride

I cried and cried, I held it in 'til l popped

Progression was my sentence, my reflection was my opp'

Conceived, you born, you live, you die

My mama said "Don't rush it," I can't function with my pride

I cried and cried, I held it in 'til l popped

Progression was my sentence, my reflection was my opp'

[Verse 2]

I couldn't haul the weight, my head that weighed a bowling ball

Would often hit the floor or hit the wall

Out the window, I could heed the call

When the tears hit my bloody palms

Defects and flaws, need rest to keep stress up off me

I couldn't figure out what I had taught me

'Cause what I see in me, I seen in Audrey

Anxiety pronounced when I was sitting on the couch smoking

I ain't know I was killing me softly

This song necessary, necessarily it varies

When the pendulum is swinging, it get costly

Move with caution, don't accost me

Laboriously digging for an answer is exhausting

I'ma use my two to carry, not to fight

This arithmetic is scary, it prepared me to ignite

I wrote these memoirs in armor of a knight

Pituitary where my Ori seated, lead me to the light

[Chorus]

You born, you live, you die

My mama said "Don't rush it," I can't function with my pride

I cried and cried, I held it in 'til l popped

Progression was my sentence, my reflection was my opp'

Conceived, you born, you live, you die

My mama said "Don't rush it," I can't function with my pride

I cried and cried, I held it in 'til l popped

Progression was my sentence, my reflection was my opp'

[Outro]
