Nightvision

L-E-K-S
B-I-S-I

Falling asleep is getting harder
Normally her loving knocks me out faster
It's 8:55, so I'm praying CBT
Will lead me closer to my happy ever after
Do I tell my mother, do I tell my father
Solicit them without them getting their guards up
An explicit lens, not the lens of a pessimist
Coz their starboy is seeking light from a therapist
A deep caption? That's a non-starter
They need the music, not a martyr
I need fluid for these arid thoughts
I'm drying out Lord, fill me up with natron salt

Take away the pain but leave the heart
Not passing in the Duat, but need a fresh start
Ain't gotta crisis, seeing O's in these iris
Praying I don't get Set to a timer
Gotta stay timeless
My thoughts need excavating
Tut tut, immortalised
Not tomb raided
Mitigate my negativity
Gotta stop comparing
Coveting after his outer appearance
But one man's treasure is another man's seconds
One man's pleasure could be your death sentence
But I'm Mystique like X-men
Mis-Teeq like Alesha Dixon
Breaking fourth walls like the west end
Covering my tracks like a best friend
Carrying this weight like it's wrestling
Alive but I'm feeling like a Deadman
Our tears don't frog splash the same
Crying from the soul, It gives you chest pains
Bottled my emotions, so I'm thirsty for fame
Thirsty for gain, Slave to the game
Left for 5 years but bro you're still the same
You ain't fooling us
Although I hear the fool in us saying
Give him another chance, he's changed
But you don't give the teacher time to teach
FOMO got you following another's dream
Belling off my line, tryna preach
Your words sounding like Screech
The only thing better than wishing is
Sitting in your own carriage
And making your own decision
The only thing better than wishing is
Sitting in your own carriage
And making your own decision
