The Ledge

Don't get me started on no knowledge
I'll make the conscience of the most conscious
Cautious and nauseous dabbling deep into the depths
Of where my thoughts is, shackle my feet with all the corpses
Of course it's just another evening sleeping in the coffin

I'm coughing, this disease is what keeps me breathing, I'm often
Off in a place where I contemplate offing
I'm off on my pace, let me retrace before I chase the tail with haste
And now I backtrack, take this to home base where it started with a taste

And by the grace of the most based
My face hosts a ghost face, inhale dose with no chase
My frail bones, they don't break
The pheromones get on me
I fear home so don't take
Won't be long so don't stay

And that should've been the end
But then I begin to depend
And then it begins again
And I get deep in with a pen
I mean it gets deep in my skin and we swim
Gods forgive me for the sin 'cuz

I know I don't need it
But I know I do
And you don't believe it
But you know it's true
But until you see it
What can we do
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

So many nights I fall asleep to your voice
Man I say that shit as if I had a choice
But who do I kid cuz if I did I'd choose your tongue when it's moist
Over the dreams of a Rover or Royce

Think we could've took it farther, had I fathered your daughter?
Playing kissing business partners while we mimic the Carters?
Reporters saying we the oddest, letting Guinness record us
Sipping Guinness, private quarters, get our privates in order

The envy of all the artists on a farm so enormous
We getting pompous, "yo remember when that spot used to card us?"
Magazines mixing our names cuz they don't know what to call us
And losing friends through all this, it's kinda rare that they call us

I'm nauseous, recall the shit that we've been through
Is this a what-if story or to be continued
You think we couldn't take it farther?
Well I got another offer

I know I don't need it
But I know I do
And you don't believe it
But you know it's true
But until you see it
What can we do
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
