[Intro] Sometimes what you wanna hear It isn't what you need And what you need to hear Is that you just can't do this [Verse 1] Truth hurts like electric shocks Sometimes I feel like I got socked in the jaw Sometimes I feel like I got hawked on and boxed And bruised, but the bloodstains won't wash off Makin' music isn't what you think it is It's half confessional, half lyin' and relinquishin' Responsibility for the pen and the ink in this When it gets dipped, I'm tryna think of things that fit But sometimes it feels like nobody's listenin' Only hit play to hear the sound, they don't want the pain to fit Cause they couldn't handle what I'm really like even in they fingertips I inherited what I'm like, I owe it to my lineage Dad was schizophrenic, so my lines seem disconnected I champion any cause by the disaffected But I'm sensitive, when I push a sentence Cause I don't know if I'll be the one who said it [Hook] Blood on the altar I'm the son of my father When the blood leaves me altered I see the sun when its farther Blood on the altar I'm the sun in the autumn When the tree leaves have fallen Like the son as he falters [Verse 2] I've worn this mask for so long it's worn Half-torn, a new face is borne I laugh more, but the laughter mourns Every morbid sore I've formed, it's gore It's something else, it's like serenity A new entity for someone who can't form an identity Explicitly, I did this for the enmity I need an enemy, I'm essentially a slave to my own entropy I don't hear voices, I know I'm not a psycho But I've less than one head, now I wonder where'd the lights go? Can't even focus when I write a rhyme Locus of control gone out, cause I'm dead inside Don't like knowing that my wires are crossed I can see it comin', but I'm payin' the cost Memory is slowin', cause I'm mentally lost Inside a fog, got me feelin' the slosh [Hook] Blood on the altar I'm the son of my father When the blood leaves me altered I see the sun when its farther Blood on the altar I'm the sun in the autumn When the tree leaves have fallen Like the son as he falters [Break] [Bridge] Sometimes what you want to hear Is that you're gonna be fine But you're not gonna be fine And you don't want to hear that So you stay stuck in denial But denial is a prison, you understand? You can't get better without admitting the problem That's the first step [Hook] Blood on the altar I'm the son of my father When the blood leaves me altered I see the sun when its farther I see the sun when its farther Blood on the altar I'm the sun in the autumn When the tree leaves have fallen Like the son as he falters [Outro]
