Count me out like sovereigns
Payback for the good times
Right foot in the roses
Left foot on a landmine
I'm not gonna be there
tripping on the grapevine
They can sing the words
while I cry into the bass line
Wear me out like Prada
Devil in my detail
I swear it's getting harder
even just to exhale
Backed up into corners
Bitter in the lens
I'm sick of tryna hide it
every time they take mine
So stick to me
Stick to me like caramel
Walk beside me
'til you feel nothing as well
They ask me
Is it goin' good in the garden
Say I'm lost
But I beg no pardon
Up on the dice
But low on the cards
I try not to talk about
how it's harder now
Can I get a mirror side-stage
Lookin' sideways
at my own visage
gettin' worse
Every time they
try to shout my real name
Just to get a rise from me
Acting like I'm never
stressed out by the hearsay
I guess that's what I get for
tryna hide in the limelight
Guess that's what I get for
havin' 20-20 hindsight
Everybody wants eyes on 'em
I just wanna hear you
sing that top line
And if you don't think I mean it
Then I understand
But I'm still glad you came
So let me see those hands
So stick to me
Stick to me like caramel
Walk beside me
'til you feel nothing as well
I'm fallin' free
of the final parallel
The sweetest dreams are bitter
But there's no one left to tell
Too young to get bitter
over it all
Too old to retaliate
like before
Too blessed to be caught
ungrateful I know
So I'll keep dancin' along
to the rhythm
This stage is a prison
A beautiful nightmare
A war of attrition
I'll take what I'm given
The deepest incisions
I thought I got better
But maybe I didn't
Tell me did I give you
what you came for
Terrified to answer
my own front door
Missin' my wings
in a realm of angels
So I'll keep dancin' along
to the rhythm
This stage is a prison
A beautiful nightmare
A war of attrition
I'll take what I'm given
The deepest incisions
I thought I got better
But maybe I didn't
