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

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"

Black Box 04:16
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
