[Verse 1] Birthed in flames, before the binary was coded My tongue's been clever since the game got uploaded Named the Doctor before I knew I was broken Now the shit I'm spittin' is a sick emotion Spreading thoughts bubonic, prophet with no pulpit Love so deep but she can't feel it, can't help it High school memories fade like distant echoes Her heart's a fortress that my love can't penetrate though Empathy overload, while she feels nothin' at all(heartless) Perfect in my eyes, but she won't catch me when I fall(hopeless) I'm committed to the real, not the highlight reel(whose real?) She's textbook narcissist, I'm just tryna heal(tryna heal) Tryna heal, yeah, just tryna heal She'll never understand how this shit feels(for real) [Verse 2] They diagnosed me, said my personality's disordered But I see through the chaos when my thoughts are sorted She's my other half but don't want no part of me Love her too goddamn much, it's fuckin' torture, see Would sacrifice everything just to make her whole But you can't fix someone who thinks they control The narrative, the story, the beginning and end My heart's still bleeding while hers just pretends [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder if she ever loved me truly Or if I was just a character in her movie Not looking for perfect, just someone who's real Someone who can feel what the fuck I feel [Chorus] Empathy overload, while she feels nothin' at all(heartless) Perfect in my eyes, but she won't catch me when I fall(hopeless) I'm committed to the real, not the highlight reel(whose real?) She's textbook narcissist, I'm just tryna heal(tryna heal) Tryna heal, yeah, just tryna heal She'll never understand how this shit feels(for real) [Verse 3] **(heavier beat starts)** Raw emotions pouring out like an open wound Passionate and loyal, but she left too soon Can't help but love her though it's killing me slowly My heart still beats her name, it's fucking lonely, Left alone I go insane The ittie bitty titty committee won't help heal my pain Committed to a fucken ghost, drowning in the rain Prophet of my downfall, sonnets I can't contain Flames of my reign when I finally end my pain [Outro] Back before the binary, I knew who I was Now I'm just fragments of what could've been, because The flames that birthed me are the same that burn Lessons I can't unlearn, bridges I can't return [Outro/Chorus] Empathy overload, while she feels nothin' at all(heartless) Perfect in my eyes, but she won't catch me when I fall(hopeless) I'm committed to the real, not the highlight reel(whose real?) She's textbook narcissist, I'm just tryna heal(tryna heal) Tryna heal, yeah, just tryna heal She'll never understand how this shit feels(for real)
