​altar boi Lyrics by Perf

Mirror Realm

2021

[Intro]
JUSTLETMEDIE

[Chorus]
Oh, why don't you wanna see me prosper?
Yeah, I've been asleep at the altar
Oh, I've been up, just fuckin' up
Go home and I wanna sleep 'til dawn
Oh, why don't you wanna see me prosper?
Yeah, I've been asleep at the altar
Oh, I've been up, just fuckin' up
Go home and I wanna sleep 'til dawn

[Verse 1]
I'm just a sorry sight for your eyes
Tell a different story, watch me while I cry
Horror movies, tell me all your crimes
Fairytale groupies, feel it down my spine
I'm just a sorry sight for your eyes
Tell a different story, watch me while I cry
Horror movies, tell me all your crimes
Fairytale groupies, feel it down my spine

[Verse 2]
Say you see me glow, hands around my halo
My beat is kinda slow, drop a couple low notes
I know more than you think I know
Hit 'em with the promo
(I've been high, dead inside)
(Write me in your death note)
I don't think I'll make it where I'm goin'
Sigh of relief, but I'm miserable
High in my room, yeah, that's typical
Why make it harder? This shit is so biblical
Wine drinkin' so I get physical
Lie, but one day I'll be centerfold

[Bridge]
Cry, I know I be soundin' despicable
Desperate, but I ain't winnin', ho
Why is your love so conditional?
Time passin', don't think that you understand
Why do you think that I'm so mad?
Why do you think that I'm so sad?

[Chorus]
Oh, why don't you wanna see me prosper?
Yeah, I've been asleep at the altar
Oh, I've been up, just fuckin' up
Go home and I wanna sleep 'til dawn
