Risk

(album: Ylang Ylang - 2019)

Risk
I never thought it'd be this
I'm jumping out of your arms
I land and fall in a pit
Is this what they call they abyss?
I fought and clawed for an inch
Turned into miracle mile
I can recall when your lips
Used to contort into smiles
Bright as the sun that's drawn an eclipse
I haven't seen light in awhile
Hasn't been bright in awhile

Risk
Risk

Even days when you mad at me
You the one to give me clarity
A testament to your character
On your birthday you told me donate money to charity
You are made of sincerity
And you got cake like you Sara Lee
You tether me, when my stress start burying me
You are the one to take care of me, I'm so gone
That conclusion foregone
That confuse you
I'm wary of war zones
This tour long
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready for your bed
Can you comb my hair so it don't dread
I don't wanna bump heads
I just wanna spread love
I don't want you upset
I just wanna end up
By your side again
I just want my head rub
I don't want the mixtape, I just want the best of
I just wanna get grub from our spot again
But do the odds work in our favor, stay down
Or skate town
Head low and face down
Like a kenneled greyhound
Doing God's work in the devils playground

Risk
I never thought it be this
I'm jumping out of your arms
I land and fall in a pit
Is this what they call they abyss?
I fought and clawed for an inch
Turned into miracle mile
I can recall when your lips
Used to contort into smiles
Bright as the sun that's drawn an eclipse
Haven't seen light in awhile
Hasn't been bright in awhile

Wish you picked up all my calls I been goin thru withdrawals
Tryin to take the edge off I need novacaine
I been tryin to stand tall I hope that you stand wit me
You know all the greats fall shit is all the same
Hot as napalm
Next day come the rain gotta stay calm
Press play put my heart in all of these songs
Display all of these wrongs, a part of me is gone
You are a gift in itself
A measure of wealth
The meaning of selfless
I place you over the shelf
Higher than pedestals
Over the belt that straddle the waist on
Orion's constellation
An observation of you and here come the truth
I'm most overdue
I'm stuck over you
I've gone under
Living proof of gods wonders

Risk
I never thought it be this
I'm jumping out of your arms
I land and fall in a pit
Is this what they call they abyss?
I fought and clawed for an inch
Turned into miracle mile
I can recall when your lips
Used to contort into smiles
Bright as the sun that's drawn an eclipse
Haven't seen light in awhile
Hasn't been bright in awhile
