I arrived Not sure where I was Been living in a fog and a buzz Gotta’ come down at some point, that time was now Prolonged realizing she ain’t around And won’t be back Didn’t wana’ face it Or myself Mirror disgraceful Ain’t as easy to actually change As it is to stand there and say it (look) I got comfortable in a place that don’t make me comfortable And I stayed untiI I wore my welcome out Didn’t knock my boots on the mat when I came in the house And I’m out Took myself out of the element Destination was irrelevant Anywhere but here I just promised myself that I won’t go to hell again (look) Now I hear clearer like my ears just popped Ever since I hopped on a plane and kissed my pops goodbye Told me to work hard Didn’t know what I was doing, but “good flight” Salute That same man told me sleep can wait And being tired well, it ain’t a real thing And when I take it into consideration and think He’s right, don’t mean shit, in the grand scheme Now I never I miss breakfast Napkin tucked in my neck for when egg drips Three drinks on me, etiquette Coffee, the water, the o.j., refreshments (look) I learned how to tame the air After running against it for all these years How to untie knots and set sail I ain’t stopping until I hit new sands Had to learn the Bowline after giving up on the Windsor Come to think of it, never could tie that kind without the help of my father’s fingers Think about destiny And the definition Then I remembered A girl that once loved me Told me, “You ain’t gonna’ get it,” Unless you really want it Then you ain’t gona’ see me in the ending!
[Chorus] Came in alone When you realize same way that you gona’ go Don’t think that saying’s been true this whole time? Who you think gona’ be there for you? Who gona’ be there for you? When all you have is yourself Can’t depend on nobody else Bite down on that smile You see them teeth turn to dust? Who you think gona’ be there for you? Who gona’ be there for you?
[Verse 2: Sadistik] Born alone Die alone Spine shivers like a vibraphone Ants step into my ribosomes Anne Sexton when she writes a poem I roam (Rome) Alone with the sharks Loan sharks, holding my heart Pull me apart I can add up the atoms I'm sad, I'm a soul, living solely to part A rose (rows) Grows in the dark Maybe it's fiction, I'm over that part Pay me a visit, I'll take the prescription I promise, make me your victim Honest I miss when I would swing for fun so free and callow Now I'm Frida Khalo swinging from the gallows Shiver me timbers, these are the frigid Decembers The blizzards the winters, the winners of temperature drops The bitter I've been in, the liver that spots, mineral loss Their cinemas scripted, I've been here before Having a curse with no visible cause Since a consensus I've entered the storm Cause’ that's what occurs when our chemicals cross I'm up in arms, but not one to worship Yea, some are serpents Thousands Steps to an undercurrent A thousand deaths not one is current Underserving, ugly person Pretty poems, a diversion Come to terms that I don't really know em’ I don't really owe em’ It's just a surface
[Chorus] Came in alone When you realize same way that you gona’ go Don’t think that saying’s been true this whole time? Who you think gona’ be there for you? Who gona’ be there for you? When all you have is yourself Can’t depend on nobody else Bite down on that smile You see them teeth turn to dust? Who you think gona’ be there for you? Who gona’ be there for you?
