THE LIGHT - BROCKHAMPTON

I give, my mom so, —mess

In the same house my dad died in, all alone

Tryin' not to be paranoid, tryin' not— as they’re calling it

'Cause every headline is a reminder that the world’s fucked

So I’m just tryin' to see the light

In between the clouds

Still love that sunshine

When I look at myself I see a broken man

Remnants of my pops, put the Glock to his head

Nothing ever go as planned, couldn’t make amends

Forcibly pretend I don’t give a damn

At a loss, aimless, six feet

Deep, suffocatin', can’t face it

Can’t change it, ain’t make it

Master plans by the Maker, I see no savior

Morbid reflection and stainless steel, alcohol and pills

Deadly combinations left with nothin' else to feel

A floral haven, hope it was painless, I see you in the faces

Places and my making, reflections off a broken mirror

Fragments of my fear glarin' back like, «Who's there?»

I can’t stand myself, beside myself, I see you there

I know you cared, felt numb since September

When I heard the news, what I’d do to speak one last time

Think I always will be haunted by the image

Of a bloody backdrop, skull fragments in the ceilin'

Felt your presence in the room, heard my mother squealin'

Master of disguises, ash to ash, dust to dust, voids behind my eyelids

Blacking out, bleeding out, silence

Louder than a twisted tongue lying

As sick as our secrets, shadow people and needles

Fading through a peephole

Bedtime stories from purgatory, I miss you

For the record, I can fly

Around the world absorbing light

Something’s missing deep inside

The light

Somethin' changed in Texas, guess I missed the message

Look, I missed my exit, I’m living like a Jetson

I was broke and desperate, leanin' on my best friends

Only shot callers I was around was bartendin'

Ain’t no love in this game, mama, this is not tennis

Take your shoes off, we just did the carpets in

I can the take the hatin', I can take the praisin'

It’s all noise to me, I’ll turn into Satan

Y’all stuck in The Matrix

Red pill, blue pill, all these different faces

All these different cases, shit, y’all done seen me naked

So I’ma wear what I want now and I ain’t finna fake it

Thank God I made it, thank God I seen God last summer

I was standing on the bridge, I seen all y’all under me

Know you are struggling, niggas out here juggling

Losin' jobs and losing God, then everything is tumbling

Feel Heaven rumbling, the rapture is coming

I love the attention, I’m a bastard in public

I still struggle with tellin' my mom who I’m in love with

Subtleties in between the way these diamonds gleam

When Thanksgiving come around, I still don’t see 'em

When Christmas come around, nigga, I still don’t see 'em

Told the world who I was before I got to know Ian

They gave people money in exchange for their freedom

I would give it all back for a chance to free 'em
