Memoirs

I remember you on that second story
I remember it too well, don't try to change the story
I saw you but you never saw me
You're always apologizing, but you're never sorry
I guess that's how it goes
Remember telling you lies
Just in case I couldn't trust you with the truth
I remember it from way back, one fateful day at school
Looked at yourself in the mirror, you hated what you saw
You used to be the king of it all
Now here you are, simply an empty shell
Called that your album but it wouldn't sell
Can't believe this is who you are now
Used to be on track, but that was seven years ago
Caught you looking back, it wasn't way too long before
You started coming sideways
You started getting off the path
Started looking for meaning, started to ignore the math
Usually it's numbers, get you back on your feet
But not a single zero could've predicted what you would be

Glory, Glory, Glory
Glory up above
Glory, Glory, Glory
Glory up above

I'm kinda tense
I've been tryna make the call, but I'm still sitting on the fence
I've been watching things go in circles, but man, in my defence
I'm supposed to be the golden retriever, so I pretend
Instructions never said I'd be this rational
I guess sometimes I lose the plot
Tryna write this verse, I'm acting like I've seen a lot
But you know way too well that I've been hella blessed
A million things placed on my plate, each tryna put me to the test
I've been tryna start the cleanup, but lately I've made a mess
Switched perspectives in seconds to first, that's just finesse
Still got a lot of things that I need to address
But I'm still restless
I had an empty guest list
Start to fill it up, I was starting to get reckless
Maybe, maybe, maybe I should've just left it
Took some time away so now I'm feeling rested
Thinking bout the hours I invested
