Parallels

(Album: Afterburner - 2020)

I live alone
Die alone
I'm my own boss
Turn my phone off
On my throne
Catch me at home
I live alone
Die alone
I'm my own boss
Turn my phone off
On my throne
Catch me at home

But the stakes are higher now
I'm all trimmed up on a diet now
But the stakes are higher now
They want milk from the finest cow
Bang bang, on the door, who's there, I'm scared
Let's see what we can do
I love myself, and I love you too

Can't fight that fluid feeling no
Can't force that juice

Damn ho you can rob me
I gave up getting paid
Rambo mixed with Rodney
I'm cracked out in a cave
Damn ho you can rob me
I gave up getting paid
Rambo mixed with Rodney
I'm cracked out in a cave

I just need a little bump
To tap into that higher flow
I just need a little bump
To keep me afloat
I just need a little bump
To tap into that higher flow
Same thing that got me here
Barely keeps me afloat

This new humility and gratitude
Robs me of my fantasies
We're all philosophers, our platitudes
Covering up our jealousy

Damn ho you can rob me
I gave up getting paid
Rambo mixed with Rodney
I'm cracked out in a cave
Damn ho you can rob me
I gave up getting paid
Rambo mixed with Rodney
I'm cracked out in a cave

Why don't you stop, why don't you quit
You'll never get better, you'll never get over it
Why don't you quit, why don't you quit
You'll never get better, you'll never get over it

Why don't you stop, why don't you quit
You'll never get better, you'll never get over it
