Evan's Song

The first time I fell in love I was in 10th grade
Prom night we kill our brain cells and played 10 Day
Looking at me all weird when I came with this redhead
Call me school shooter but I ain't ever play Red Dead
Trace my old loves on my palm in the lifelines
And in the laugh lines you'll call it a pipeline
I was always pushed to the fucking sidelines
Even when I stimmed my dawgs give me the side eye
My girl fetishizing my autism was awkward
Saying I was different from the guys she talk to
Always fucking round with him when summer started
I could never be him, that'd be r-d
People so fake how they open minded
Call it a superpower but I'm always blinded
Writing in my book, I can't see in the lines
There's less cons, more prose to keep my heart in rhyming
If I was made in God's image, tell me why then
Am I so ashamed of being Riley
Universe funny, how it's always timely
Calling me a gimmick, say this shit unlikely
Do it for the kids who was born just like me
Cause I always kept Lucy around when I was Charlie Brown
About to make the kick and then you try me
I'm done begging to you politely

Just keep running, keep running
Keep running boy

I'm tired of these therapy sessions with my brother
They alienate us, they bury the truth and hover above it
6PM in Queens, oh you gotta love it
They shame us in public
It's just been Max and Evan
Til Max kept his jealousy in code embedded
Let it surface into things that he still regretting
Tried to save himself he couldn't save his brethren
In his basket, tryna find out where the bread is
Son up to the wrong folks, he feels indebted
All the days he fretted, he ain't struck a chord
And he feels it when he hops in his dad's accord
His parents only ever raise his big bro
Where this love that Evan seem to get tho
It made him feel he ain't worth shit so
He turned into a little bitch hoe
And that's some self projection, he need to give protection
To the only one who know why I'm deflecting
Any day they'd throw us in correction
And you a real one, and I ain't help none
And now I'm making up for lost days
Growing out of these old ways
Cause when I see Evan I see Max
I bleed it out for you in these tracks

Just keep running, keep running
Keep running boy
