Afterthought - Beyond the Ashes

Place your hands on the keyboard Acquire the feel I feel unnecessary like a laugh track Took an L last light but I can't bounce back Finally feel like a rapper cause I feel so little Rock and a hard place feel like Malcolm in the middle My friends were loved and I felt like the outlier Do I love you or is it the idea of love I desire Hope I'm on tour and I see the rows of fans who support me like columns My haters looking like Gollum I'm dropping bars like a golem Who's the key who makes poems You know em You ghost me I don't know why Sending Xs and Os I'm lost need the X and Y Like the coast I was on the side Like a stoner on a couch you lied We move at a different pace You're a parallax never in the same place She always had backups just in case So what was the value of us I think it is face Hope it's legends I influence Yet the only question on my mind is who is Holding me tonight Holding me Holding me tonight Holding me Holding me tonight Honey said Takes an inch if she can get a mile Not arguing that ain't her style All the things I said to make her smile Meant shit please Afterthought like parentheses Holding me tonight Holding me Holding me tonight Holding me Holding me tonight Just listen no conditions Never spitting Generic terms I'm the token heartbroken character Who paints caricatures of his competitors I know all these bills are hard to register It's only down after up like the round of a mortar I'm too fly but I'm bottom of the pecking order Tagging price tags Cop it like capture the flag My organs trail It shall prevail In making all arrogance pale Told me the world was my oyster made me clam up Then I man up outclass all my past phantoms My future is up for ransom Life on the edge that's my anthem When my heart is ashen People cashing in on my emotional rations Every match is dining and then dashing Known as our last interaction I am still a bit of a kid Always speaking figurative Birth of singles but postpartum All your disses still dishearten Now our eyes are waterproof Just know that I don't want you Holding me tonight Holding me Holding me tonight Holding me Holding me tonight Honey said Takes an inch if she can get a mile Not arguing that ain't her style All the things I said to make her smile Meant shit please Afterthought like parentheses

I got some molly in me Who got a problem with me Who wanna party with me Taking these shrooms Up to the moon I'm going as high as it get me We call the white girl Whitney I roll up a blunt quickly I'm breaking it down sticky Watchu gonna do, do, do...

Who got a problem with me I got some molly in me We call the white girl Whitney Yea Watchu gonna do, do, do... I got some molly in me Who got a problem with me Who wanna party with me Taking these shrooms Up to the moon I'm going as high as it get me We call the white girl Whitney I roll up a blunt quickly I'm breaking it down sticky Watchu gonna do, do, do... Watchu gonna do, do, do... Watchu gonna do, do, do... I got some molly in me Who got a problem with me Who got a problem with me Yea Watchu gonna do

They're tearing down the street where I grew up Like pouring brandy in a Dixie cup They're paving concrete on a part of me No trial for killing off a memory Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Can you find the Milky Way? Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley Have seen their dying day Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came Uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh No sidewalk playground now to meet my friends They put a roadblock at the rainbow's end We're driving faster now than Orville flew We leave our mark on every single thing we do Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the way the West was won Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy Have fallen to the gun Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Ooh, ashes to ashes, dust to dust Can you find the Milky Way? Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley Have seen their dying day Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the way the West was won Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy Have fallen to the gun Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came

Though the odds aren't in my favour I will soar above the mountain I won't give in or surrender I'm the phoenix in my head All the scars beneath my armour I will wear them like an honour They remind me to be stronger Like the phoenix in my head And they can try to bring me down Or push me to the edge but It won't work, oh no They can try to bring me down Or pull me to the deepest grave but I Will rise a thousand times, oh Will rise a thousand times, oh-oh See my blood is in the shade of A burning scarlet sunrise The end is my beginning I will rise a thousand times I fall then I rise from ashes This time I'll come back stronger I know life is gettin' harder Not like I would choose another My tears, they have healing powers Just one drop to recover Can't stop me 'cause I'm the phoenix I will rise a thousand times I fall then I rise from ashes This time I'll come back stronger I know life is gettin' harder Not like I would choose another My tears, they have healing powers Just one drop to recover Can't stop me 'cause I'm revivin' From the ashes From the brokenness, oh And all the pain And they can try to bring me down Or push me to the edge but it won't work, oh no They can try to bring me down Or pull me to the deepest grave but I still See my blood is in the shade of A burning scarlet sunrise The end is my beginning I will rise a thousand times I fall then I rise from ashes This time I'll come back stronger I know life is gettin' harder Not like I would choose another My tears, they have healing powers Just one drop to recover Can't stop me 'cause I'm the phoenix I will rise a thousand times I fall then I rise from ashes This time I'll come back stronger I know life is gettin' harder Not like I would choose another My tears, they have healing powers Just one drop to recover Can't stop me 'cause I'm revivin' I will rise a thousand times (I fall then I rise from ashes) though the odds aren't in my favour (This time I'll come back stronger) (I know life is getting harder) I will soar above the mountain (Not like I would choose another) (My tears, they have healing powers) I won't give in or surrender (Just one drop to recover) (Can't stop me 'cause I'm the phoenix) I will rise a thousand times (I fall then I rise from ashes) see my blood is in the shade of (This time I'll come back stronger) (I know life is getting harder) a burning scarlet sunrise (Not like I would choose another) (My tears, they have healing powers) the end is my beginning (Just one drop to recover) (Can't stop me 'cause I'm revivin') I will rise a thousand times From the ashes
