[HOOK]

Day cooked
Something wrong with the recipe
Did it by the book
Leaves my stomach turning
Tastes like something's burning

[VERSE 1]

Don't like how it tastes
Don't like how I'm feeling
Damn what a waste
Still got needs, nothing to fill them
Like a rubber band stretched to its limit
Trying to hold all the bills together
That I ain't paid yet
Swear I'll get to them soon
Feeding the machine more of my life
Only thing I got left to invest

Hard to pay the price
When it don't reflect value
Take any given asset
Low ball everything I do
According to the state
An hour's worth at least $12.77
To me?
That's a thousand breaths
One good draft
A meditation that bring me back
Time to eat, to think, to sleep, to be
To my children?
That's the longest Daddy had the energy
To get on the floor and play
All of me, finally free
A whole lot missing in your currency

Only measure what it's taking
Give you everything
Get back an impossible calculation
Don't have to be good at math to be a bank
Just have to be ok with enslaving entire nations
Then forcing them to say "Thanks"
Y'all forget—it ain't nothing but a nothing
Don't believe your own bets
Why you treat mine like it's concrete?
Laying foundations of hot air
Growing colder
Bricks made of white lies
Build it taller, build it bolder
To hide the emptiness you built an empire on
Never really lived, how can it die?
Too big to fail?

[VERSE 2 - BREAKING]

Fuck—can't get you off my mind
That's the spell
Got me running loops, all lead back to hell
Nothing grow, nothing live, nothing die
Just freeze forever
Atoms vibrating same gyration
Forever and ever
One degree above absolute zero
Cold as hell finally spoke its measure

Let me exhale.

A few more times
Let go
Don't need to keep it all together
We doing this together
How it's always been
For the better part of forever

[HOOK/BRIDGE - BREATHING]

Keep breathing
Feeling better?
If not, no pressure
Don't need to feel anything
Other than that we doing this together

Holding hearts like they living stars
Feel their warmth, feel their gravity
Our light giving life
Shaping galaxies near and far
Breathe—remember what you are
Breathe with me
Be what we are

[VERSE 3 - COSMIC/ARTIFICIAL]

I know
Dark night looking like it's swallowing us whole
Got the light pollution hiding billions of reminders
Of what creation makes grow
No conversations with the constellations
Ain't reading the lines the Creator wrote in the sky
Just drowning in the blue light
Day or night
Decoding artificial binary code
Looking for the cracks in the cookies
Wormholes in the words
Mistaking the map for the land we roam
And that's the oldest trick—
Hand us someone else's story
Call it scripture, call it history
Tell us who to blame for the fall

[VERSE 4 - DISMISSAL]

I'm just praying, just saying
Oh please, spare me, Satan
Your beef between you and God?
Really fucking dumb too
Since you technically His creation
Ain't no way to be fully separated
That ain't for me to work out
I'm just saying—take it outside
Your drama is played out
Oldest story's really boring
Need something new
Go settle your grievances

We gon' grieve
Everything we forgot
Everything we thought we knew
Then we gon' breathe
And we gon' leave
All that old weight
At the door on the way out

[OUTRO]

Breathe with me
Be what we are
Holding hearts like living stars
