Feat. Seventh Song suno.com/@seventhsong ------------------------------- [Verse - Richmond] I been prayin to the sky, but the sky’s all torn, Every night I try to climb out, but the dark keeps takin' control I drag my shadow like a coffin, drag my heartbeat like a noose uncut Got the taste of old mistakes burned permanent into my brain You said I shine but that was lightning hittin water. I never learned to love myself, only learned to love the slaughter Told myself I’d make it clean, but I been sinkin since the beginnin Every high tastes holy, every low feels like a letter left burning on the altar of a god who never answered. [chorus] Substitutes been loving me lately, Substitutes been loving me lately, burnin in the same old fire. every bruise feels like desire. and nothing stays [Verse - Richmond] I been writin on the walls, runnin circles in my head. Sleepin next to all my failures, wakin up with all my dread. You were water in the desert, now you’re thunder in my chest. Every time I reach for heaven I get dragged back to the mess. I treat pain like it’s a ritual, treat hope like it's a drug. Treat myself like I’m disposable, treat your memory like a flood. My past keeps stalkin me like a lover with a knife. Tell me, how do I stay breathing when I’m terrified of life? [chorus] Substitutes been loving me lately, Substitutes been loving me lately, burnin in the same old fire. every bruise feels like desire. and nothing stays [Verse - Seventh] Yo its Seven stairing into my reflection feeling like Pinocchio where are my strings breaking at these seams, screaming for Geppetto. living in my dreams. avoiding being sober by all means, even when im sober ima smoker with a Marijuana odor. feeling all alone, alone in my own home. I dug this road you drive, I dont try, I fucking thrive built all this from nothing, maybe im on to something Am i too vulnerable too relaxed to comfortable, then im on attack, like a vigilant. so confident. Iive been cracking at the base. I just love the taste, am i my own worst enemy? Face to face,eraseing myself. A reflection, satisfaction of this high, why lie, why try, it feels so right all night, i dont need the light. fucking morphine got me morphing into something i recognize. i geuss i realize i got ice in my eyes.. just frozen i got ice in my fucking eyes [chorus] Substitutes been loving me lately, Substitutes been loving me lately, Substitutes been loving me lately, burnin in the same old fire. every bruise feels like desire. and nothing stays [Bridge - Seventh] I dont no who to trust, I dont even think I can trust myself. Im just sit here rocking listening to these voices talk.. [chorus] Substitutes been loving me lately, Substitutes been loving me lately, burnin in the same old fire. every bruise feels like desire. and nothing stays and nothing stays and nothing stays
