[Verse 1] Every song I write about you is a little bit of a diss track Little bit of a inside abstract concept, wait for the step back, hit that Pavements chasing concrete cyclones listening to a deep-sea underneath free speech reach deep into the lip lock facts slap the glass to matte Every song I write about you Is a little bit untrue Every song I write about you I write about me And I think that makes me easy [Chorus] But I don’t know if I can separate the heart from the artist Keeping everything clean is always the hardest part Unlike love this has no hatred, no fear, no sacrifice But it comes with people, and we couldn’t help ourselves and now I pay the price [Verse 2] Every step in your direction leads to a bit of missed connection Searching craigslist pages for the main stage attraction for the wait to end In the hallways in the backyard dragging back one cat and two handfuls of cheap perfume scoured through the earth scars on my feet and hands in the restroom Every step towards you Is a trap for me to fall into Every steps towards you is towards the beast that fuels The fire that allows me to move [Chorus] And I don’t know if I can separate the heart from the artist Keeping everything clean is always the hardest part Unlike love this has no hatred, no fear, no sacrifice But it comes with people, and we couldn’t help ourselves and now I pay the price Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh [Bridge] Maybe getting angry is easy but I’m not one to admit defeat three meters in the air, I’m not going anywhere, rest assured there’s charismatic china plates just waiting to break In the corners of the warehouse where I keep my spinning cobweb rocking chair Take a look in every nook and cranny of my twisted psyche there’s a space in the corner perfect for a deformed former table turner there [Chorus] And I don’t know if I can separate the heart from the artist Keeping everything clean is always the hardest part Unlike love this has no hatred, no fear, no sacrifice But it comes with people, and we couldn’t help ourselves [Outro] Every song I write about you is a little bit of a diss track Little bit of a inside abstract concept, wait for the step back, hit that Pavements chasing concrete cyclones listening to a deep-sea underneath free speech reach deep into the lip lock facts slap the glass to matte Slap the glass to matte Slap the glass to matte Slap the glass to matte In my masterclass
