Riptide / Starlights

I– I– if you want…

Want—if you want…

No, it ain’t—no, it ain’t that smart, I found.

(notif pings / distorted breath)

⸻

Givin’ you all of my problems, come solve ’em

Think the money on my wrist could evolve ’em? (wrist!)

Tip through a call, got an itch to involve you

Notifications hittin’—lookin’ like essays

Hold up, I gotta check what the check say

Hold up, I gotta— I-I-I-I—

⸻

She gon’ pull me to the riptide

Give it to me straight, I won’t hide

You could make a scene, I won’t die

Face the beam, yeah, I won’t die

Pull me to the riptide

Can’t see straight, I been wide

You too close, need a new line

Sold my heart for an invite

⸻

I need you the most

Shakin’ my head but I’m already woke

Can’t stay on the ground, there’s a star to be poked

Can’t stay around, there’s a gun to my throat

Make a sound but my arteries won’t

Wanted your love but a part of me don’t

Lookin’ to sin, yeah, I’m throwin’ a stone

Give you the flesh but I’m keepin’ the bones

I think I know why

She could fill the cup, I’ll roll dice

Didn’t fit the picture, still gold lines

On the brink, yeah, I’m hittin’ both sides

⸻

Define fear—she said, “I’m itch-in’, can’t hear”

Part of me missin’, so I figured

Maybe you my vision, I’ll be your ears

Pressure in the head gettin’ louder each year

⸻

Pull me to the riptide

Give it to me straight, then collide

You could make a scene, I won’t hide

Face the beam, yeah, I won’t die

Pull me to the riptide

Too close, need a new line

Can’t see straight, I been wide

Sold my heart for an invite

⸻

Hit the STARLIGHTS out him if you want

If you want, he’ll be in the car where I found him

Smart mouth, yeah, I found him

And it ain’t—ain’t that smart now

Even if he takes off

Aim onto his last holdings

I can believe what you told me

Walk into the recess, I’ll follow closely

⸻

She cross over the line

All I wanted was to color it in

Fix it, finish the lyin’

What’s your intent—are we preppin’ to descend?

Bottle up all of it, tell me you see it

You gettin’ blurrier with each hint

I’m in pieces, notifications screamin’

Essay after essay—can’t think

⸻

Pull me to the riptide

Starlights flash in my eyes

If I make a scene, I won’t hide

If I face the beam—I won’t die

Hit the STARLIGHTS if you want

I’ll be where you found me

Too close, need a new line

Sold my heart for an invite

(glitch fade)

If you want…

If you want…
