[Verse-Dank] Hear me.. Solitude’s a symposium, I’m debatin' with my hosts Chatta hold elections in tha hallways of my growth I study my emotions, lonely islands in a dish Neutral can't grab me ‘cause my centa’s gone to shit I’m just pieces of a person, every crumb coats tha refrain But tha dreadin' keeps evolvin', like a self repairin' vein I shake hands with tha lonely, feel tha quarrel in its palm Tryna barta for some comfort but I have nothin' to pawn [Hook] I’m alone in a trough made of thoughts I outgrew Every weak point in my mind keeps mistakin' me for you I keep talkin’ to my others that deny what they know Ain’t a peace, ain’t-a fear, it's tha place I call home (ISSA PLACE I CALL HOME) Issa place I call home [Verse] Isolation ain’t a sentence, it’s a seminar for one Where I pick apart every wound from it’s sources in my puns My past tense is a classroom, newfound notes that nest So I lecture on survival while I’m acin' tha tests. Tha definition of absence, built a blockade out of scares Where tha walls don’t block intrusion, they just prove nobody’s there I rehearse my resurrection though I never really died Just a glimpse of my potential that tha quiet amplified (AAAAHHHHH!) [Bridge] If I speak, will tha silence shun me for disturbin' peace? If I break will tha pieces fine-ali find their release? I’ve been holdin' up tha ceiling of a room that doesn’t care Loneliness is just a teacher with a thousand yard stare [Hook] I’m alone in a trough made of thoughts I outgrew Every weak point in my mind keeps mistakin' me for you I keep talkin’ to my others that deny what they know Ain’t a peace, ain’t-a fear, it's tha place I call home [Outro] (So I drown in my wrongs..) So i drown in my wrongs over opportunities I've missed Every memory’s a mistake from a me I enlist If alone is my algorithm, I'll wear da mothafucka if it fits ‘Cause nobody ruled my ruin quite like tha rest of you bitch....es...is [Verse-Richmond] Hear me… I built a cathedral out of quiet and quartz Every room got a view but the view got no heart Collected rare moments like limited art Framed em in gold, hang in the halls I shake hands with success but the grip is ice cold Numbers in my account do exactly what they’re told They multiply nightly, never ask how I feel That’s the deal I lecture the mirror on what winning should cost It nods back politely but the lesson gets lost Then quiet keeps teaching what money can’t drown I sign the receipt… still thirsty somehow This the place I call empire, this the throne I call home Where the crown gets too heavy when you wear it alone Yeah I got too much to say but the language don’t fit Every sentence break down, every thought got weight but it never resume You know Silence is never empty, it’s the loudest in room I don’t chase the connection, I dissolve in the space You can stand right here and still not see my face I been sayin it’s nothin when there’s too much inside like How you hold a feeling that don’t fit in a sound? And it’s strange how I’d rather feel pain than the void Cause at least it reminds me there’s somethin destroyed I laugh when I’m supposed to, I nod, play along But all that just feels borrowed, like I’m doin it wrong I don’t think I’m broken… more like misplaced like a star put in a body that can’t handle the space So I drown in these halls of a kingdom of silence I built on my own Yeah… issa place I call home Issa place I call home… Issa place I call home… Issa place I call home… Issa place I call home…
