(Verse 1)

Behind these eyelids
I crave alignment
Most days, gripped to sirens,
A car alarm heart
In a call to arms I try to silence,
I guess I'm just The Type
Sarah Kay is right,
Gotta learn to sing along
If you wanna survive

I keep it point, blank, simple in the beginning
A desert eagle tongue
Shooting signals of SMPTE colour bars
To calibrate an amalgam of white noise
Film grain over memes of tea sipping kermit
Seeing so many under the same current
Urgently scratching the surface

That's none of business though

(Chorus)

Just hold on to my own growth
Never learnt how to slow down
And I ain't starting now
oh no no no
I own nothing and nothing owed to me
i'm opening a locus past the stoicy
can't control the moment, but I

Sew my soul in
Been everything but chosen
Fuck this fork in the road less traveled
When it's formulas over notions
No token for this type
Die before i quit, like will smith
No limits when

(Verse 2)

I'm an optimist with meds in my back pocket,
I fought to live and ain't ashamed to admit it
Visions of Alligator man, no chip on a shoulder limits
I salivate the ammunition for this desert eagle tongue
I learnt it all from my fathers ego-tinted Honda Civic
Harvested his ambition, and my mother's heart.
They/them on a mission in soft march
Never get me in a cop car
Willingly
A misfit you scoff at and then mimic
but you can't keep pace when we break past limits
Never forgetting to

(Chorus)

Hold on to my own growth
Never learnt how to slow down
And I ain't starting now
oh no no no
I own nothing and nothing owed to me
i'm opening a locus past the stoicy
can't control the moment, but I

Sew my soul in
Been everything but chosen
Fuck this fork in the road less traveled
When it's formulas over notions
No token for this type
Die before i quit, like will smith
No limits when I write
When I riot when I write
