Megaphone

(Album: To Dream Beneath The Scorpion - 2023)

I don't need your help
I don't need your lies
To the whispers in my head
With the voice that sounds just like mine
Saying no I can't
Without a thought sometimes
Through a speech made in my gut
With the wings of the butterflies I hide
I used to drink to tame it
Because my sober mind
Couldn't find a way peace
It'd pause the war for a gunfight
So I'm saying now
Ten years dry as dust
Looking you right in the eye
And I ain't high, and I ain't drunk
I'ma take my time
And you can take your bad advice
You can eat your lies
Choke on your tongue
Swallow the knife

And like water to the rain man
Like color to the rainbow
Like giving to the same hand
I'm good on my own
I can do this alone
I need you to go
How's this for a megaphone?

Inside of my eye there's a Brutus
Like inside of me I've got a Judas
Like part of me likes the venom
Like there's a me in me that's hoping
I won't get up and get 'em
Like there's a little percent of me
That's an enemy
It doesn't wanna win
It wants to Kennedy anything that could better me
It's pitching me jealousy
Hissing through my ambition
And I'll admit, it's in the soul of my melodies
And the trick is I'm kinda buying that
Would I be ambitious without this lion on my back?
Is this prison in me mine, like I designed that
Am I sick but don't mind 'cause the wine that I like is the dimetapp? oof
Yeah, I know I'm addicted to the lies that I'm blind to
Now I'm on a mission in my mind just to find you
And I know you listen this a light to ignite you
To get you like flies in the bayou

'Cause like water to the rain man
Like color to the rainbow
Like giving to the same hand
I'm good on my own
I can do this alone
I need you to go
How's this for a megaphone?
