lyrics

eyes still bloodshot red from the weeping
cant run from the demons if you still sleepin
know u tryna hide and thats why u been dreaming
but reality is fire and the mortals all

heathen
heathen
heathen

he then
rose up from the ashes of the flames
realizing now he has to do this shit again
couldn't let it go and so he wound up in the same
situation as before and aint nobody else to blame
couldnt find nowhere to go and so he figured that the main
thing that he should focus on is trying not to go insane
shadows taking over from the corners of his brains
tryna sort thru all the thoughts,
its hard to see thru all the pain

so many sharks in the water and they smelling all the blood
he tryna reach the surface 'for they send him up above
so many sharks in the water
tryna drag him down below
ankle tied up to an anchor
made it hard for him to go
he said but fuck being stuck
everywhere i look is demons,
yea they running amok
cant control my anger, girl im tryna keep it a buck
is you really down to ride,
you gonna have to choose up
you gonna have to choose up
you gonna have to choose
you cant fuck with me, no
you cant fuck with me...
you cant fuck with meee no.
you cant fuck with me
fuck it
i dont have much time
im gonna have to kick the bucket soon
before i let them take me, all the pity
you can chuck it, true
i lead you to my lair,
yours is bigger, true,
i covet,
yo, i told you im the devil girl
why would you wanna cuff it?
...fuck wit me no,
really shouldn't fuck wit me.
you dont wanna fuck wit me no,
really shouldn't fuck wit me.

well fuck that
i aint ask to come to this place,
so you should know that
you showed me the horns on your face
i cant just go back
the light that you refuse to embrace
need you to hold that
cus they gon try their best to replace you like you old, man.


and therein lies the paradox
a single source buried in the dark
light gives way to its own shadow
shelter turns hostage
refugee to prisoner
a youthful body
home to an old soul so caged within its own shell its decaying
dismayed by the horrors of reality
lulled to sleep by the guarantee
of escape by dreaming
dreaming of a lullaby
sent from a lover
stolen by another
it seems
even the scenes of dreams are susceptible
you cannot run forever

you shouldnt be around girl i see demons every day
trust me you should go girl im just tryna keep you safe
you shouldnt be around girl i see demons every day
trust me you should go girl im just tryna keep you safe

i dont wanna leave u alone
and you should know
shit that u been hiding inside is valuable
