Who is that creeping up behind me?
Thought I was somewhere you'd never find me
Almost thought that what they thought defined me
We all in rapture, so
Would you kindly do this
Would you kindly do that
You remind me of me
When my heart was intact
We done suffered through losses on losses
In fact
I can't picture no gains
When the canvas all black
But that blackness be beautiful
Ain't like ya usual
Went through a crucible
Cross on my back
Had to chuck the deuces too
Body in the viewing room
Got up out that casket, cool
Funeral was packed
May think that sounds blasphemous
No cameras, we acting up
One take before they take a whole lot
And then they bag us up
Back me up
Without a question you was always there
With no discretion
Hold the light and share
I share it cause I want us all to shine
I want us all to find the love we thought we lost inside
I know we will in time
But the times be a changing
These fires are raging
Black smoke in the sky
Black blood on the pavement
I'm saving my anger
For something more useful
I know I can't use you
We too intertwined
You blame me, I blame you
If I change me, I change you
Our fate's on that same cube
That dice rolling fine
And everything is "fine"
You hear my tone and know I'm lying
You see my face and close ya eyes
The pain you see is yours in kind
Kindly stay pure
Kindly remind me when I be unsure
What this is all for
I'm all for your love
I'm all for this world
And what resides above
And everything below
And everything I show
You mirror me in ways
That I didn't even know
I know you so well
Sometimes look like a stranger
We've been through some wild things
And even more stranger things
Bound to come, yeah
I know
I know it's time to grow
And never count my blessings
I know I found my home
I knew it once I stepped in
I know it's time to go
But I got many questions
I question myself
And everywhere you stepping
Sometimes you right behind
Sometimes beside
You change directions
Do you question yourself?
You prepared for a fight?
Do you know what you love?
What you need?
What you like?
Did they try to put you down?
Did you rise up in spite?
Did you bully yourself when you didn't feel right?
Is it all bout acceptance
Except when it's strife?
Did you murder your old self to feel new inside?
Are you afraid of the dark?
That's when you pulled me right aside
And told me
"Fool, you know shadows can't exist without the light"
"You'll find yours inside"
"Shadows can't exist without the light"
"You'll find yours inside"
"You'll find yours inside"
"You'll find yours inside"
"Inside"
