Prosthetic Self-Love

(album: I'M ON TO ME - 2020)

Yeah
I'm on to me
I really am

Ay
I need a fill of my perception of love, your attention
I'm addicted
Exist more the more I'm mentioned
I'm insecure, I need humbling
So dependent on everything
Except for myself
I'm so conflicted
I ain't shit
No, I ain't shit, I ain't shit
And every time I told myself otherwise I ate shit
My cracks and bruises ancient
My apologies shape-shift
My psychology ape shit
Face it
I'll give you both arms for a hand
Both eyes for a glance
I'll allow you to decide when I dance
See, as long as you have faith in me, I understand
That I'm God
I am worthwhile
I'm the man
Yeah, I'll kill myself and I pray that you notice
I'll kill myself and hope you feel sorry
Even just for a moment
I'll speak a foreign tongue
Anything to be heard
Anything just to prove I'm alive and have worth
I hate my ego, yet I seek its guidance
I hate the pretense, yet I need disguises
You see, my keyhole got no key inside it
Detest the speech inside me, and it despises me
But if I keep it off my mind, I don't seem to mind it
Puff a cheatcode just to leave this island
But the waves gon' bring me back
And one day I'm finna snap
Guess I ought to be complacent where I'm at
Cause my prosthetic self-love can always take the place of what I lack
And that's how it be
That's what I do
That's why I'm me
I said, that's how it be
That's what I do
That's why I'm... me!

Once I've lost her love and I've lost my people
All the bridges burnt, and my networth sits at zero
Health decays with age, and I've gone full incognito
All I'll have left is my fucking ego
Yeah, once I've lost her love and I've lost my people
All the bridges burnt, and my networth sits at zero
Health decays with age, and I've gone full incognito
All I'll have left is my fucking ego
Yeah, all I'll have left is my fucking ego
