After the feeling was stolen and traded off in a scam
Left to the rest of me pawning at my shadow with my empty hands
I had sewn my head to my shoulders, now hanging just by a strand
Nearly slipped when from beneath the cliff climbed a better man
And he said
Boy, you've never seen the world I see
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me
'Cause if I'm letting it go
And if I take my sweet time till the weather gets poor
Tough love is gonna settle our scores
Set the swarm free, black fog coming for me
And so you better be sure that the river turn blood if you lead me off course
No creature wanna beat a dead horse
You can't fool me, there it goes, I heard it all before
(I heard it all before)
Can I grow like a lotus
When I'm in over my head?
To think a drop in the pond could make me fond over the tears I shed
He said, Just keep moving forward
Go dig your heels in the sand
Have you found any other path you could follow to the bitter end?
Boy, you've never seen the world I see
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me
'Cause if I'm letting it go
And if I take my sweet time till the weather gets poor
Tough love is gonna settle our scores
Set the swarm free, black fog coming for me
And so you better be sure that the river turn blood if you lead me off course
No creature wanna beat a dead horse
You can't fool me, there it goes, I heard it all be
Hold your peace
Before you preach
And listen for the stranger moving in
Boy, that talk is cheap
Boy, news to me, I'm playing with my sanity again
But it's surely lonely
'Cause if I'm letting it go
And if I take my sweet time till the weather gets poor
Tough love is gonna settle our scores
Set the swarm free, black fog coming for me
And so you better be sure
That the river turn blood when you lead me off course
No creature wanna beat a dead horse
You can't fool me, there it goes, I heard it all be
I heard it all before
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep
I heard it all before, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep
I heard it all before, yeah
Fuck my snake dead
Sucking on my teats till they bleed out
Buzzing on this beat till I'm sore, yep, yep
There ain't no number that could bastardize this shit
Bores me sick, I heard it all before
Boy, you've never seen the world I see
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me
Don't you ever see the world I see?
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me
