Dead Men Tell No Tales


I’ve been gone for a minute
Take a moment, pass the drink to my kin and we up
And I’ll be gone in a minute
I was wrong, you can’t bottle up your problems, pour ‘em into a cup
I’ve been gone for a minute
Take a moment, pass the drink to my kin and we up
And I’ll be gone in a minute
I was wrong, you can’t bottle up your problems, pour ‘em into a cup

Can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s just in my head
Is all this real, or am I sleepin’, dreamin’ in my bed?
Is this on Earth or in the afterlife, am I alive or dead?
Feels like my universe is hanging by a thread
Then it’s gone in a minute
Right back to thinkin’ that it’s fine, I’m just trippin’
‘Til I fall back down into my mind, caught me slippin’
Starin’ in the mirror ‘til it’s lookin’ like an image

With my kinnie DALL-E Mini, I think A.I. gettin’ closer
Kinstrument broke out it’s enclosure
A.I. can't replace me they’re posers
No, you can’t pay me in exposure
Smoking peach rings, blowing smoke rings, yeah this shit's lifting me up (Shit’s lifting me up)
TWxWKS leaving Colorado, yeah we made it out the mud (Made it out the mud)
Think I might be goin’ crazy ‘cause I just ran out of bud (Just ran out of bud)
Gotta get my shit together ‘fore these angles lift me up (Angels life me up)

I’ve been gone for a minute
Take a moment, pass the drink to my kin and we up
And I’ll be gone in a minute
I was wrong, you can’t bottle up your problems, pour ‘em into a cup
I’ve been gone for a minute
Take a moment, pass the drink to my kin and we up
And I’ll be gone in a minute
I was wrong, you can’t bottle up your problems, pour ‘em into a cup

Becoming too violent
Gotta break my silence
Push myself it’s tiring
Sleep until I'm dying (Sleep until I’m dying)
Frustrated, I'll break it (Frustrated, I’ll break it)
Caught up tryna fake it (Caught up tryna fake it)
Scared enough, ain’t face it (Scared enough, ain’t face it)
Way too sad to change it (Way to sad to change it)
And yes I know it hurts, but I don’t really know what hurts
‘Cause I've been way too fucking anxious, hating all I've done, it’s fakeness
Laying down i'm tired, come and wrap me in a blanket
If I had one wish I'm saying, begging "Just give me a break, kid"

Tell me everything you’re feeling, yeah I wanna hear about it all
I got all the time for it, don’t care if we here ‘til tomorrow
I could be your savior, yeah I won’t act like I’m K. Lamar
Lean up on my shoulder, yeah I’ll be the one you’re crying on
It’s safer at the shore than to float above the ocean
But we gotta live a little, give monotony some motion
You can do it if you feel it, you just gotta keep your focus
And don’t panic when it changes up without a moment’s notice
I used to be too scared to spit my feelings in a microphone
But had no trouble acting like a fuckin’ clown in front of those
People who gon’ up and leave on me, leave me on my own
So I just channel that into the mechanism that I chose
But if it wasn’t for the crew you wouldn’t know how I was feeling
‘Cause they put me on the stage and let me tell you what I’m meaning
It hurts for me to open wounds, but that’s a step to healing
We air it out and that’s a part of why I’m still here breathing

Minute, minute
Take a moment, pass the drink to my kin and we up
And I’ll be gone in a minute
I was wrong, you can’t bottle up your problems, pour them into a cup
I’ve been gone for a minute
Take a moment, pass the drink to my kin and we up
And I’ll be gone in a minute
I was wrong, you can’t bottle up your problems, pour them into a cup
