Residue

Been there from the beginning
I've never had to feel alone
Save my fall although I'm slipping
You found a way I could atone
So drag me down that pathway
Distracting with those flashing lights
To my rescue as always
You got my back through every fight

Ooh
Poisonous, I'm stained by you
You know I could never leave
Even if I wanted to
Residue
I'm just a slave to your system
Residue
Slick on my skin, you write my rhythm

You don't see consequences
Not when you've got to fight
No use in chains or fences
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
The loss, the pain, exhaustion
The price you say to feel alive
Kill off your mortal portion
Allow the blissful rage to rise

Could have warned me like he did
Heated
Warned me like she did
He did
Yeah bitch I'm basic
That's all I needed
Love was
Fuck me cause you know I'm down to play
Fuck me when you know he on the way
Love was
Blame me for being jealous
Have your fellas
I ain't bout to be jealous
Love was
Fuck around, no blemish
Ball and chain, old premise
In your arms like a belt
Tossed out when it hit
Stung like hell
Boxed off while you left with a text
Not a cell
Couldn't even clock me when you bail
Couldn't even clock me when you bail
