Back from the abyss
Tell me what you miss
Let me reminisce (I, I)
Lips on my back
I'm keeping track
Cut me some slack
I don't come here that often
When I see you you soften
Hard to keep my caution

I've been thinking again
I've been thinking again

If I touch you, will you break?
Will you break?
How much can you take?
When I loved you, was it fake?
Was it fake?
Tell me if it's too late
Tell me if it's too

Give me something to romanticize
Cigarettes and swollen eyes
Tourniquet, hand on my thigh
Pull it back and let my eyes roll
Give my something I can't control
Give me a story I can hold

If I touch you, will you break?
Will you break?
How much can you take?
When I loved you, was it fake?
Was it fake?
Tell me if it's too late
Tell me if it's too late
Tell me if it's too

Maybe if you killed me I'd like you more
Maybe if you killed me I'd like you more
Maybe if you killed me I'd like you more
Maybe if you killed me I'd like you more

something to romanticize

Sweetness
So distant now
When you leave
We can forget about
Everything

Intro (Leaving)

Lyrics:
Will you come by
Even at the worse time
I'll be waiting here to let you in

Cause I need to see you
Know I got a sweet tooth
Absolve me of my sins

Your love it purifies me
And that terrifies me
Can't even recognize me

Upright
No drama, no fight
Close, tight
We up till daylight
Slow
Let go

Breath fresh, skin clean
Legs up
Smell so good, make me wanna give it up

It's only you on my wish list
Baby, come on over here come get this
Yeah, we got obligations but they gotta wait till class is dismissed

Honest, I could stay like this
Home all day like this
Quit my job and move away for this
Can't let myself fall too quick

Think that I fell too quick

Upright
No drama, no fight
Close, tight
We up till daylight
Slow
Let go

Pull back, don't trip, I
Think I lost it, I
Drop all my ribbons for
A little more
I, I
I, I

Play because you play me like that
(You) write before I even write back
But we still the same, right?
You shiftin' lanes like
You not to blame

I
Make it easy for you
Follow where you lead me to
Let you linger, bite on my finger
I fall in, you stay the same

Let it ride
Disconnect tonight

Of all the things I run from
You were not one
I stay till we're done
At each others' throats I guess
Breathing soft, gripping tight
Stay that way through the night

No I won't let your shit slight
Wait so I catch my behind?
I'll show you toxic
Bad man, good dick
Make you bust quick
Keep you in it
(Ah)

Make it easy for you
Follow where you lead me too
Let you linger, bite on my finger
I fall in, you stay the same

Let it ride
Disconnect tonight

You callin' again and
I don't need it
Hungry for me and
I like to see it
When I'm low
Trying my best to grow
Working on my own shit
Owning all my fuck-ups
Want it so I do it
Feet down and my head up
The pipe ain't even that good
Don't beat it up like I wish you would
Don't do this
Make better choices
Make better choices
Make better choices

Clock (Choices)

I struggle most the time
Keeping my shit in line
I could work on my confidence
Think of how long it's been
Since then
Don't know where the time went

Strange
I don't remember you as well as I thought I'd
Be stuck in it that it'd take a lot
More for
Your face to fade
Memory out of place
Throw it up
Let it fade away

I know I was more than you could handle
Shoulda stopped after you tried the sample

Moonlight, something about you don't sit right
I still think about you sometimes
All this change, it's got me uptight

Listen
I know my ghostin's got you fiendin'
Tell me how bad does it get
Knowing that I am done with it
Heard you got a new dude
Why I still here from you?
I've moved on, you just play like you do

I know I was more than you could handle
Shoulda stopped after you tried the sample

Moonlight, something about you don't sit right
I still think about you sometimes
All this change, it's got me uptight
Uptight

Remove
Find some truth that I can cling to
Stop focusing on what to undo
Moving forward without you
(Out you)

soft.

Moonlight
