What more is there to say now What more is there to say What more is there to say now Is there more than the saving face What Do we walk away now Think it’s time that we have some space What more is there to say now You blossom like a flower in the summer In tomorrow See the winter wind loves you too Sometimes there is a bubble that you can’t escape But you should wait My darling I’ll see it through A blade of grass just writes a poem Your fingertips tracing my skin I’ll never call another home You But death is beautiful I picked you up I picked you up In time I’ll let you go What more is there to say now What more is there to say What more is there to say now Is there more than the saving face What Do we walk away now Think it’s time that we have some space What more is there to say now Cried in that water Died in that water Bitch I came back alive in that water All in that order Give a fuck what they say I’m in the middle I can’t stand to get sentimental It’s in my nature though I’m a river Let the levees break Let the ones who went last Levitate For heaven sake Ima win, Ima win, tough as elephant skin If I don’t make it by working this hard Best believe ima have to take it to God Sometimes it seems like nothing’s working Obviously this is only me venting Sometimes it seems like nothing’s working I’m made out of patience Unless when I’m anxious Like damn I just need necessities A cozy little corner just to rest in peace 28 And still don’t got shit on my plate I’m no good at nothing else Lord, is it too late? What if my happiness don’t reside in this I build Destroy I build Destroy They look up to me They want my magic I feel the void I feel the void Depression always tryna get the best of me Testing me I know this the masterpiece Sankofa the motto But I just can’t breathe These walls understand But they just won’t speak Tryna be on my own When I should come back home When I go back home I see why I left I see walls shaking I see hearts breaking Family fading Tryna make it out Just to make it in Like mama see I told you I was born to win Learning how to bend water just to take a swim Just to feel Just to feel Just to feel Is it real Is it real Just to feel Just to feel Is it real Is it real Just to feel Just to feel Blossom like the flower Flower Flower Blossom like the flower Flower Flower

Another day spent watching you And your body betray each other Another day spent watching You try to smooth yourself over like glass To barter and sacrifice To make yourself whole In exchange for A sigh of relief, you get A tightening Of the breath You make these negotiations daily An economy of pains and joys that only you know how to manage And it is so much work Take this Keep that Move that there Get this off of me It hurts

TRIPPP 01:52
It hurts It hurts I'll see you like tomorrow I'll see you like tomorrow Like tomorrow Took a trip I heard somewhere in there there’s a cure for your worries What a trip I got stuck in a loop of a room full of story Took a trip I heard somewhere in there there’s a cure for your worries Where in there I just wait in here I’m just waiting there I’m just waiting here Til I’m done You thought I was the one But I am not the one to play with On the rainy days that do come Hold my hand Pull it to your chest Let me feel the sun On the rainy days they do come Hold my head Pull it to your chest Let me hear the sun On the rainy days they do come now Don’t know what to ever do now You thought I was the one But I am not the one I'll see you like tomorrow

Then suddenly everything was just like jazz It happened in one insane second We don’t kiss and tell We kiss and write these spells Your eyes are running dry But you can catch me in that well If she really fine with it Best believe she mine with it I’m with it I’m with it I’m with it Used to want to die with it Used to want to cry with it Caught up in a lie with it Now I’m in the sky If they hate to see us Be us Let them catch those feelings Let them pile up so much Let it break through ceilings I’m, I'm, I'm through with the feeling like Like, like I gotta be polite for what When you a whole damn clown Tryna find your skin but you miss the sound Of the wind as it breaks As it breaks Through crowd like I'm chilln, I'm willing, I'm willing I'm chilln, I'm willing, I'm willing I know she hates me as much As much as she hates you Maybe one day we'll see the sun together Maybe one day we’ll see the sun together I know she hates me just as much as she hates you She say she really don't care but I know that ain't true Maybe one day Maybe one day Maybe one day Not tryna run away again But I don’t want to lose another friend Lose another friend Not tryna run away again now But I don’t want to lose another friend Lose another friend Not tryna run away again Not tryna run away again Not tryna run away again But I don’t want to lose another friend Lose another friend Not tryna run away again now But I don’t want to lose another friend Lose another friend Not tryna run away again Not tryna run away again

Thoughts floating Can’t keep me focused Can’t keep me here It’s just a feeling It’s just a feeling But you know it when it happens It’s just a feeling

ROSA.RE 02:08
Words cannot explain this You misunderstand but at the fault of my hands But I promise I’ll stand In the midst of your sands Til time names this love ancient You say my touch is painful You say you love me so But it hurts so much Admire that you’re able And it’s up to you Just say so I’m at forty percent tryna feel a hundred again Sometimes I need to need to Let go Sometimes I need to breathe Sometimes I need to see Sometimes I need to feel like I’m able My heart can be destructive (one at a time) I’m working on my healing (oh let it ride) I master then I muster All the joy I need to suffer Then I dive into the waters Where my memories lay Where the fires don’t burn Then I dive into your waters You deserve all your love And you know it’s your turn Cannot explain this You misunderstand but at the fault of my hands But I promise I’ll stand In the midst of your sands Til time names this love ancient

You never asked for this job Some days, I rail at god Giving you a body that isn’t home Is the gravest mistake A god could make Other days, I get a glimpse of you Free Unbound Unbreakable And I think: who needs god? Or, better put: if god is change Then the nature of the body is To be whatever the fuck you want it to be Your dysphoria is a mountain To climb it You must outdream yourself You must outdream even god To pick up where god left off You must imagine the impossible And treat your imagination As reverently as a prayer There is no such thing as betrayal There is just you Your breath And the horizon you haven’t built yet

GLASS BOI 01:18
You look me dead in the eyes All I see is fading Clouds and places Hours are wasting Please rub my back on the worst days My body scarring from this binding The sting of pain is always blinding But it’s better than crying from the hiding I look in the mirror and see one thing I go outside and feel another I sit in silence and I wonder why Please rub my back on the worst days My body scarring from this binding The sting of pain is always blinding But it’s better than crying from the hiding I look in the mirror and see one thing I go outside and feel another I sit in silence and I wonder why Just go (outside)
