Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nothing lasts forever and I told you
Everything you need to know that's not true
Lying to myself because it hurts you
Waiting for the simple taste to come through
I been known to hide within my own walls
Jewelry and my ice so that I don't fall
Up to higher places and escape with
All my ice in tact and who am I to kid?
Pound of flesh and yeah I'm still kickin'
So it wasn't just 'cause my own stupid
Fears because the past and future scare me
Riding out to Venice with a nosebleed
I stood before the waves and prayed to be cleaned
I'm dirty in my mind, I don't turn green
This is everything you ever wanted
Crying for the ones I lost in '18
IG3, 2014, unhappy
Nothing ever makes you get past it
Thirty three it's time to stop thinking
Find my place and I keep on standing
Shower my beliefs with ice melting
[Verse 2]
I'm losing touch with everything I know
Praying for my heart to turn to stone
Bandana tied around my broken skull
Icing for my wrist, my touch is cold
Losin' touch of everything I know
Praying for my heart to turn to stone
Bandana tied around my broken skull
Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold
[Verse 3]
Don't be actin' dumb, cookies gonna crumble
Wipin' up the crumbs, I do this shit casual
Happens all the time, plus I'm dark and handsome
Shit, broken by design, it's a tantrum
[Verse 4]
Losin' touch of everything I know
Praying for my heart to turn to stone
Bandana tied around my broken skull
Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold
[Verse 5]
Don't be actin' dumb, cookies gonna crumble
Up the crumbs, I do this shit casual
Happens all the time, plus I'm dark and handsome
