[Verse 1: Sullii]
As I awake, I'm in the ground again
They only wanna see me up 'til I'm surrounding them
I'm never tryna show my trouble or my doubt
When they couldn't swim a metre in the lakes that I've been drowning in
I'm anchored to the pavement like the rain above
When I fall from underneath me like I came in drunk
I'm diluted by my spirits, tryna sober up
I'm translucent when I'm sittin', contemplating us
As I awake, I look around me and it's all different
That's why I'm writing about myself when I call distant
Maybe I can rip my demons if I walk with 'em
Catch me tryna fall from underneath me 'til the floor isn't
I saw myself, how I left uncontrollably
I don't expect my reflection to notice me
I fall asleep to me stressed, tryna fall asleep
I wrote down to reflect on it hopelessly
[Chorus: Sample of like us by Sullii]
I couldn't stick around knowing you like us
How many more years 'til we talk like us?
I couldn't stick around knowing you like us
How many more years 'til we talk like us?
[Verse 2: Sullii]
If I await to see me stood, face the corner of my bed
I'd asked me why I'm leaving, we were cool before I left
I'm tryna shake the feeling that I'm trippin' in between us
I was praying not to fall but it'll autumn in my head
I'm nothing but the trouble that surrounded me
I can't amount to any more than when I'm cowardly
I'm sick of talking to the walls
Tryna keep my thoughts on the mantel piece, swear there's no remorse when I'm doubting me
Maybe I'll be different, looking for my safety in an instant
Baby, it don't matter if we missin', just grab your flippin' bags
I'm fretting to the hum of the ignition, tryna see the love that I envisioned
I'm anchored to the pavement like the rain is holding me to my submission
But still the ground from under me is slipping
They only wanna see me doing well until I ask them if they listen
Don't wonder why I'm turning to my written
[Outro]
"Yeah man, this is probably weird. I'm... It looks like it's... it is essentially like you're sometimes reading my mind and just putting it into a paragraph. It's... It's really, I don't know, it's... it's saying stuff about manifesting and visualisation things that I'm doing a lot of recently, uhm... I get obviously 42 is not necessarily like an angel number in the typical sense of like this angel meaning behind it, but you obviously have a real connection to it."
