​tales of the firebreather Lyrics by ​rose the ​firebreather

by any other name

2021

​hook
​i know
​it won't take long for me
​it won't take long for me
​let me know
​what i forgot to see
​who i forgot to be
​
​verse 1
​
​i remember very little if i'm being honest
​memory's so beautiful but really isn't promised
​i live to paint the ones i get to keep
​so i'm an artist
​convinced myself that i'm the one to blame
​for all your darkness
​
​i don't wanna be asleep when i wake up
​days painted in the pain i told myself i made up
​fade through feedback loops
​falling just to get the stakes up
​the light is increasing
​i see the shade up
​i need love
​
​i can't find it in my body
​it's out there in the wind prolly
​so if we pop percs and we take molly
​maybe we'll forget where the void started
​
​​hook
​i know
​it won't take long for me
​it won't take long for me
​let me know
​what i forgot to see
​who i forgot to be
​
​verse 2
​
​i whisper apologies to the younger me
​i save the light i bleed
​i've been drowning in my need
​i'm on my knees
​i been praying to whatever
​fuckin listens
​might not know who you are
​but we sharing in the vision
​
​i still envision
​when i'm breaking walls of mental prisons
​i need my bills like simmons
​motherfuckers pay me for opinions
​i'm drunk as fuck so i'm rapping at civilians
​they salty i'm bookin MSG one day
​so i hop on pavilions
​
​rappers out here paying for their platform
​i manifest my millions
​​fuck you mean i'm the villain
​​infectious shit the pen don't got ceiling
​​penicillin
​i'm concealing
​you don't wanna feel that heat
​hungry still, i'm a ghost with no face
​competition left to eat
​
​family ties can tie your sneakers
​sneakin round like prey to preacher
​​create the dark like satans creature
​​​​they pushed me down cause i'm a leader
​​​like solomon. i gather cedars
​​​watch me build my temple high
​​​​i only learned that love was supposed to tell you that your pain's a ​​lie
​you were so afraid for me to speak
​i was the one to cry
​i cowered under cowardice
​like a lion with his pride shy
​cloaked in my surrender
​all my stories turn to white lies
​banking on redemption
​cause the model was so life-size
​i only learned to see my light
​reflected back through your eyes
​​the rage i buried deep inside
​i rose to let the flames rise
​
​i know it's won't take long
​it won't take long for me
