So Familiar Lyrics by Illmac

Still Standing

2016

[Verse 1]
Cherish each moment in makin' mine
Your stars align for a brief moment in space and time
I think bigger, I live smaller like God-willing
My ink's drippin', I've been caught up my feelings
Inspiration tidal waves flood this ocean out me
I surf the wake not noticin' it's drownin' those around me
Unintended, my sword sharpened, I'm unprojected
'Cause while I'm swingin', it cuts my flesh with it's double-edges
Love, depression, lust, obsession
Search for one connection
But drugs and sex are just embedded in our muscle memories
The hustle's endless
A lone wolf on the hunt for breakfast
Countin' on my right hand, man, that's my shrunken friend list
Sometimes I'm too abstract
In hopes my concepts free ya
But most people are people people, I only talk ideas
Sometimes I'm too distracted
Sometimes my focus kills ya
How's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want (tell me what you want)
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want (tell me what you want)
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want, it's a world of want
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want, it's a world of want
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
So familiar

[Verse 2]
Uh, and I just feel the need to let you know
We get where we're goin' even if by separate roads
A restless soul, I've never seen you as a stepping stone
Even when I burn the bridge and seen the tunnel entrance closed
We put it all on the line, then our connection froze
Sendin' love letters sealed with X's, O's
I swear my exes, I swear your flesh is gold
I treat you like a petaled rose
Admire beauty, never plucked you from your roots, I let you grow

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want (tell me what you want)
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want (tell me what you want)
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want, it's a world of want
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want, it's a world of want
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?

[Verse 3]
It's not what you say but how you say it
It's not what you make but how you felt when you made it
It's not what you tell me, it's more than what you show me
I might be preachin' to Jesus, that's when she told me
Tell me somethin' I haven't heard, make it real
Tell me somethin' without the words, make me feel
I feel like no excuses
I feel like bite the bullet
I feel like "oh, I blew it"
I feel like that's some bullshit
I feel at home alone
I feel uncomfortable
I feel it's all my fault
I feel like fuck you too
I feel like I've been cheated
I feel I've cheated you
I feel like y'all been sleepin', but I'm a dreamer too

[Bridge]
I'm a dreamer too
I'm a dreamer too
I'm a dreamer too (on my way)
I'm a dreamer

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want (tell me what you want)
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want (tell me what you want)
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want, it's a world of want
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?
Tell me what you want, it's a world of want
Why's it feel so foreign now with someone so familiar?

[Outro]
This a world of want
Tell me what you want
You just gotta grab it
We're defined by our habits
