[INTRO: Muted piano chords, vinyl crackle] [High pitched female vocals] Ooh, same highs, same lows... Say you quit, but you won’t, I know... Same song, different night... Say you quit, but you won’t, oh no... "Ooooh, runnin’ in circles, chasin’ a high that won’t hold me…" [Last note lingers, vocals stretch—then beat hits hard into the verse.] [Verse][Deep male voice] I been outta sync, I don’t blink, I don’t sleep much, Shadowboxin’ demons, throw a hook but they weave up. Past on my heels, try to swerve but it speed up, Talk like I changed but the pain still teed up. [Beat drops out—just raw vocals.] Ohhhh you know where you been runnin’ but you can’t outrun the tide Ohhhh you been learnin’ how to suffer but not how to survive... [Beat switches—slower, heavier, drums hit harder.] [Bridge] "Mmmm-mm, lost too long, no way home…" "Gone too far, heart too cold…" "Try to find, try to find, but the light won’t glow…" (Background vocals whisper: "Won’t glow… won’t glow…") [Verse] Tunnel vision, double digits, lookin’ past my own decisions, Runnin’ circles, runnin’ symptoms, stomach twistin’, somethin’ missin’, I been distant, drownin’ wisdom, every vice a new religion, When the prayers feel like wishes, who gon’ listen? Who gon’ fix it? I been coastin’, autopilot, lungs still holdin’ what’s unspoken, Used to pray for better days, now I just hope I don’t notice. Every vice I tried to shake got a way of holdin’ me, Bottle full of memories, I sip ‘em like they potions, please. Please don’t ask me where I been, I been lost, I been low, Please don’t tell me time gon’ heal, it just taught me how to cope. Please don’t call me ‘less it’s real, I need truth, I need growth, Please don’t tell me God got plans, I been starin’ at a ghost… [Beat shifts—hi-hats start rolling, bass swells slightly] Maybe I been lost too long to be found, Maybe I been breathin’ in the silence too loud, Maybe I been reachin’ for a heaven in the clouds, Maybe every sip just pulls me down—down—down. I been floatin’, I been reachin’, Tryna find a meanin’ deeper, But the feelin’ so deceivin’, Got me fallin’, nothin’ keepin’—ohhh. [8 bar saxophone solo] [Chorus] Watching me fall, watching me climb Split in two minds, separated by time One knows the truth, one chases the high Watching me fall, watching me try [Spoken Word] Tongue tied from the secrets that I buried in my throat Soul stained with the same ink that my father's story wrote Shallow water drowning hits different when you note That the current pulling under is the same one that he rode [Chorus: Female High Pitched Vocal] I don’t know if I left or just faded away Drifting somewhere between what I feel and say Holding pieces of moments that I can't replay I've been lost... I've been lost [OUTRO] "Where do I go? Where do I run?" "Try to find, try to find My way home
