[Verse 1]
Detox from the deep talks
Ain’t escaping from these thoughts
I’m not one to take cheap shots
But you made a note of my weak spots
Nothing of substance, you are too vapid
And I am convinced the fall will be so rapid
Live by materialism, no purpose
To keep up here, she go missing, won’t surface
No shoulder to rest on, you need it most
Felt I had the right for me to ghost
You can take that much but when I ain’t give
There’s an altered tone and conduct’s abrasive
Consequences reverbеrate
Will complete what I want by a cеrtain date
Cause I breathe to write or I write to breathe?
I won’t be able to when I’m assigned beneath
[Chorus]
When I’m an old and decrepit soul
Will you be there in time to watch the credits roll?
You skipped the previews and stole a seat
Cause there’s not that much use in controlling me
And if you blink, you could miss it
I’m put on the spot in an awkward position
It’s brave, brave of you to solicit
Cause I’d take the fall but I don’t fit the description
Spiraling downward, trajectory detoured
Precisely you’ll ad-lib a nosedive in free form
Self-medicate, how to handle the pain?
Won’t learn a bit, no you’ll gamble the same
[Verse 2]
24, but I’m falling short
What is it that I’m stalling for?
People dropping like a college course
They’re coming going like revolving doors
Shift subtle tones but you loathe that trait
Got a blocked frontal lobe, better hold that weight
When you’re dropped like a rock by the powers that be
You ain’t stopping the shock you’ll encounter and see
Given a minute, collecting your bearings
That’s some kind of kindness to grant the forbearance
But you’re an accomplice, your network clandestine
You’ll patch up the wounds that the shrapnel was left in
Covering up the carburetor
Fulton Street, no parking paid for
Downtown been a whole mess
I’ll take the backroads, yeah my path is safer
[Chorus]
When I’m an old and decrepit soul
Will you be there in time to watch the credits roll?
You skipped the previews and stole a seat
Cause there’s not that much use in controlling me
And if you blink, you could miss it
I’m put on the spot in an awkward position
It’s brave, brave of you to solicit
Cause I’d take the fall but I don’t fit the description
Spiraling downward, trajectory detoured
Precisely you’ll ad-lib a nosedive in free form
Self-medicate, how to handle the pain?
Won’t learn a bit, no you’ll gamble the same
