Is she well? Is she happier?
Do her eyes still glimmer when she smiles?
Wishing her another happy year
Over months and miles
To let her go is to love her
Wish her well in the arms of another
To let her go is to be fair
Cross my mind every now and then
Disappear from the corner of my eye
Glad she's found herself in love again
With an acceptable guy
To let her go is to love her
Wish her well in the arms of another
To let her go is to be fair
Two idols chiseled out of living stone
(Of flesh and bone)
One chorus sang the song of heart and mind
(Of hers and mine)
Tell her please take this souvenir
Say a prayer for the children that we were
Though we swear we see the future clear
It's the past that blurs
To let her go is to love her
Wish her well in the arms of another
To let her go is to be fair

Have you had enough of me
Have I outgrown the me you know
It's been tough for me
To sift through the wreckage of what I've blown
If it's a good time to depart
Goodnight, sweetheart
We've got an end to start
This is straight up sideways
Your way, the highway
I'll lace up and walk this off
I'm not your enemy
I'm not a pawn upon your board
If you've found the remedy
You have my blessing to cut the cord
If it's a good time to depart
Goodnight, sweetheart
We've got an end to start
You should know
It's easy enough to let go
Why would you run
When we've got this life by the throat
Under the moon
Blood tells the truth
These sheep don't love you
Don't play with your food
You should know
It's easy enough to let go
Why would you run
When we've got this life by the throat
Have you had enough of me?
It's under control

Selfies on the Boardwalk

I swear these kids show their intelligence
Talking bout "irrelevance"
Times change - now the jellyfish shit on elephants
New kid, old head
If it's hot, tell a friend
If the shit's not, why the fuck are you yelling
Taking selfies on the boardwalk
Whole world in front of you
But you got your back to it
Just like a fronter do
Bullshit to bounce to
What's it all amount to?
When you gonna learn that the world ain't about you
He scream, she scream, they all scream for nonsense
Content caught a buck fifty from the sponsors
Blue pill takeout, walking dead unconscious
Then they break out like they're allergic to a conscience
Mindset is, "Fuck your opinion if it's honest"
Hypebeasts on it to avoid looking pompous
Label A&Rs like, "This kid is showing promise"
Instagram monster, Twitter going bonkers
Fuck if he can rap, did you see his view stats?
Imagine if we put a battery in dude's back
Get him gassed up, diss another new act
Let the kids eat it up like an afterschool snack
Now the comments section wanna see who reacts
See who gets slapped, see who's chain get snatched
The day is coming fast when we're all gonna laugh
When a rapper gonna ask, "What the fuck is Boom-Bap?"
Taking selfies on the boardwalk
Whole world in front of you
But you got your back to it
Just like a fronter do
Bullshit to bounce to
What's it all amount to?
When you gonna learn that the world ain't about you

Pack the car
Head for the ocean
And that dress that I love so much
Would you wear it today
Please forget
The never-believers
They'll look back on their miserable lives
With nothing to say
...don't waste time
Here we are
Halfway to the ocean
I can smell the salt air in my nose
Such a distance away
Call your mom
From the phone at the station
I'll ask the locals
Where is the place to stay
...don't waste time
Here we are
We're down at the ocean
And that dress that I love so much
You wore it today
Please forget
The never-believers
They'll look back on their miserable lives
With nothing to say
...don't waste time

Have you ever looked at him
And wondered how he could be so lucky
You give the world to him
He gives it back in disarray
This band of brothers built
By sons of mother's milk
It made them brazen
The scent of blood that spilled
From all their brothers killed
It made them craven
He had all this time
All this time to shine
He heard all these words
And all he learned was "mine"
Have you ever looked at her
And wondered how she could be so loving
She made this world for you
You let it spit right in her face
This bargain sisters strike
To ward against the night
Pull joy from sadness
The hearts they give survive
To be more than just alive
And serve boys in their madness
We've had all this time
All this time to shine
We heard all these words
And all we learned was "mine"
We've had all this time
All this time to shine
She learned all these words
And all she heard was "mine"

In the moments when I want
Why don't you too
Tell me, when I push
Why won't you move
Is it the same sound we're hearing
Or is it the room
Why is it I wilt
Right when you bloom
Can we be honest
Lie down in truth
Craft our own nest
Home to our brood
Is it a strange sound to hear me
When I'm not in the room
Here lies the black box
Broken in two
It's what you wanted
What you planned for us
Look what you've started
Have you had enough
I will make you a promise
Borrowed and blue
Until we're beyond this
Battered and bruised
You shall not lay down or fear me
This is our room
This is our black box
This is our proof
It's what you wanted
What you planned for us
Look what you've started
Have you had enough
