Tyler Joseph
Drown - Alt Mix
[Intro: Future Of The Purple]
Here I come, come to You in the very clothes
That I killed, killed You in and now I know I’m alone
[Chorus: Future Of The Purple]
I walk to you, rain falls from you
Can You wash me, can You drown me?
[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]
I wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me
I wanna be stronger, too long I’ve sat here undecidedly
Planning strategy, half of me knows it’s all just a fallacy
Failing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically
Into a wall I’ve hit a hundred times before
And yet I still ignore the dark red blood stains on the floor
And I’m back in front of You, Lord, with the blood on the floor
Is the blood mine or yours? Don’t wanna do this anymore
Back and forth between bein' me and who You call me to be
You see a man free who thinks he has to buy a key
To a door but he can’t ‘cause he’s poor and he can’t
Fall down anymore ‘cause he’s already on the floor
And his heart is broken and all and this is his scar
But it’s warm from cryin' ‘cause he will try nine times
To realize nine crimes but he has more than nine lives
So he picks himself up and keeps fightin' for the prize again
[Pre-Chorus: Future Of The Purple]
Here I come again to You
Just to show the blood soaked through
Through my bones and all I own
Is there a way for me to know?
[Chorus: Future Of The Purple]
I walk to you, rain falls from you
Can You wash me, can You drown me? (Please)
[Verse 2: Future Of The Purple]
I'm like an animal
Inside of my body
But If I ever try to break it
Its okay cause I gotta be
Reinventing what I say
Every time that I shout it
I never thought that I would make it
So I gotta be smarter and yeah
I really gotta work so I can get a better prophecy
I'm not a prophet but I rap to fight the animosity
But if never win at least I get to show my enemies
That I could rise up and destroy the only thing I wanna be
As fast as I can cause I gotta get better
I'm fighting this shell, you could call me the shredder
I'm flipping the switches and pulling the levers
The sky here is black but there's red in my ledger
And one day I'll make it, The day I get higher
Say thank you to Brendon and Patrick and Tyler
For all that they gave, every day they inspire
I'm no longer drowning, They gave me the fire in me
