Did I Ever Do You Wrong?
[Verse 1]
Is it pain in the face of it all?
Rain pour, no more, I can't take anymore
Can't escape anymore so I stay hating on y'all
Facing y'all takes a toll on an eight-year-old
Insecure, years 'til I found a cure
I was bound to shore like a fish stuck in cow manure
How to tour a house of four that's in my memories
Explore the answers to the universe and everything
To view it hurts, it was never a refreshing thing
The resolution was to spend my time inside a screen
Lost years, lost faith, the bed I laid
Making pain and losing those who were meant to stay
Hate marinate, I don't need 'em anyway
Started eating less I hate the shape of my dinner plate
The life of cycles that I tried to defenestrate
And maybe escape this facility that simulates
'Til that day, I will make sure to stimulate
'Til that day, I will decor in different ways
My Christian brain gone, turning away
Now it is wave forms 'cause the furniture changed
[Chorus]
Give less and take more, I'm serving my brain now
Reset and make y'all serve me the reigns now
It's time to finally make this life mine
God won't judge me, is it such a crime?
Give less and take more, I'm serving my brain now
Reset and make y'all serve me the reigns now
It's time to finally make this life mine
God won't judge me it isn't such a crime
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Did I treat you that way?
Easy to have faith but I leave the pathway
If I read the last page will it be something great?
Or will the whole contents page just be blank?
I thank who made me that way includes enemies, too
'Cept nowadays I hate, I won't pray for you
Woo gone DOOM gone nobody's right so who's wrong?
Oolong too long the time is tight defuse bomb
Rude songs the new form compared to what I used to want
Two pronged I brought two along to talk to you and want
Some peace, compromise, increase what we find
To be the elemental please be on my side
Cause we often fight, how did we become friends?
Clearly something's there but we sometimes forget
So we fight and fret and we think it's not yet
We remain upset our brains are beset
But don't fret like a broken guitar
They say get hope cause hope isn't far
[Outro]
Bizarre, I'd rather get results
I'd rather do the most to a fault
I'd rather go farther 'til I shower on a boat
And I will never ever join another cult, yo
