[Intro] Ash on my tongue Breath feel rusted Eyes on the ceiling Like, what do I trust in [Verse 1] Steel lungs wheeze Brain like a server farm Thoughts overheat Ice in my veins, stay calm Grandma in a frame on the dresser She stare back, "boy, you next, just fresher" Homie in the dirt by the freeway exit Tattoo on my arm, but the guilt still hectic Is this code or karma Is this glitch or gospel If the soul got a password Who holding the console I see halos in the gun smoke, crooked Priest with a side hustle, dice in the pulpit Angels in Adidas, horns on the bouncer VIP rope at the end, who counts us [Chorus] Life and death Same cold breath in my chest (yeah) Where we go when we ghost from the flesh Is it hallways, stairwells, data in the mesh Life and death I been walking on the edge of the ledge If I fall, do I fall or connect To a page in a book that we never really read [Verse 2] Brain feel baked, eyes half-mast, half-open Heart on shuffle, those tracks stay broken Therapist talk like a customer service "How that make you feel?" Man, mostly nervous I seen killers cry in fluorescent light Tough guys tremble when they sign that life Seen saints get stained for a like online Whole block go blind ’cause one boy shined Am I meat, am I math, am I memory If I die, do my lies keep defending me Do my sins turn film in a darkroom sky Project on the clouds while the crowd walk by Tat kid with the blade in his backpack Draw church steeples on the back of his math pad He don't talk hope, just "if, maybe" Says, "if God home, why the crib so shaky" [Chorus] Life and death Same cold breath in my chest (yeah) Where we go when we ghost from the flesh Is it hallways, stairwells, data in the mesh Life and death I been walking on the edge of the ledge If I fall, do I fall or connect To a page in a book that we never really read [Bridge] [low vocal register] When the last beat drop And the crowd fall flat Do we rewind back Or dissolve in black [raspy shout] Do we log back in Or just log off Is the boss last level Or a curtain call [Chorus]
