Levees

Start with a reason for you to medicate
Hardest thing on record is to set it straight
Smart enough to wait when I'm at Heaven's Gate
Raise Hell just for Heaven's sake
Can't fail; that's the bed you make
On the hook and use myself as bait
Me and my selfish ways
What else has changed?
Except for everything — you felt everything
When it rains, [it's] that heavy rain
Let the levees break
Catch a wave [like] we saying goodbye
Realize faith don't have to come from places up high
I can say that I've tried
Which set the stage for these "Days of Our Lives"
I been aching for this pain to subside
Or chip away like some paint when it dry
Spread my wings but the plane didn't fly
Remain grounded and proud of it
Foundation laid out of brick
Found Kasi in the crowd now we out of Brick
In case you was doubting it
Not a single piece of paper is counterfeit
Got my name on account of it
Shame it all falls down
In the end, I just want you around
One last waltz — be the talk of the town
Curtain call then we all take the bow
Still these visions keep on haunting me, how?
Taunting me, how?
Thought I told you this in confidence
Smile, cuz that's a compliment
My response is a promise and I'ma honor it!

Just keep swimming 'til we both reach shore...

Cuz I'm sure
Gonna find my way back
Ride the wave back
I'm sure
Gonna find my way back
Ride the wave back
(I'm going out...)
Home

Just let it ride out
Just something to—
Just something to vibe to
Check me out

I'm going outside
I'm going outside
If I can't feed my soul...
Well I can't free my soul...
I'm going outside
