(feat. Daryl Palumbo, Camu Tao) [Verse 1:] I became for you what you had asked Telepath You're too young to ask out loud I'm too old to not know that I could talk like you've not heard I know weapons, you think words I exposed you to these terms You still chose to roll unheard That could work but not so fast You're so open, I'm so crass I'm too weak to hold that back You still think intrigue will last You can't imagine of my past I just can't explain all that I wish I could trade your place So romantic, full of faith I must spare you, I must learn I refuse to be your first First to put you in your place The first to make you speed your pace I'm a man now (good or bad) You're a girl still (good for you) Don't think this don't make me sad It's just something I must do [Hook:] In your own time leave me be Trying to spare you, trying to be God melodic, man on fire Coward long gone, my desire Fuck you raw now, it's my fault Fuck you raw dog, I can't stop Should've listened, should've left I can't stop unless you jet It's so simple open head I will knit my savage thread Help me help you walk away Leave this unamazing grace You don't know from pure disgrace You still think I'm here to save I'm not even really here I can't give what I can't take [Verse 2:] What a ride, what a slide under the door What a score You think I'm a genius I know I'm a whore What a time, what a climate for our lives What's in store? You see live forever All I see is war I will pull your hair back Fuck you on the floor Pour myself into the act Pour myself (oooh I'm bad) Because I know that these moments end And telling you the truth is sad You deserve the ignorance of bliss That I still wish I had Don't you let me keep you here Don't ignore my greatest fear I need you to not need me You need not believe, just flee I will put myself inside you Find some way to run and hide you I can't be responsible Do as I say not as I do [Hook:] In your own time leave me be Trying to spare you, trying to be God melodic, man on fire Coward long gone, all desire Fuck you raw now, it's my fault Fuck you raw dog, I can't stop Should've listened, should've left I can't stop unless you jet It's so simple, open head I will knit my savage thread Help me help you walk away Leave this unamazing grace You don't know from pure disgrace You still think I'm here to save I'm not even really here I can't give what I can't take This is not my ego talking I know I'm no perfect draw And I do love the way you lay there I do like the way we talk Maybe I'm just condescending Maybe this thing isn't wrong Maybe you should lay right there Put your hands up in the air [Hook:] In your own time leave me be Trying to spare you, trying to be God melodic, man on fire Coward long gone, all desire Fuck you raw now, it's your fault Fuck you raw dog, I can't stop Should've listened, should've left I can't stop unless you jet It's so simple open head I will knit my savage thread Help me help you walk away Lead this unamazing grace You don't know from pure disgrace You still think I'm here to save I was never even here I can't give what I can't take [Fades out:] You still think I'm here to save? You still think I'm here to save? You still think I'm here to save? You still think I'm here to save? You still think I'm here to save? You still think I'm here to save? You still think I'm here to save?
