DUCT TAPE
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was cold in the summers when you're needed, yeah
You left us at the port, I couldn't believe, yeah
Now that I'm older I can finally see
That you were tryin' your hardest and that you had to leave
2001's the year, I remember I could never breathe
My momma left, she had no choice but to go overseas
I held the baggage with me
All the things she couldn't keep
I had to get my shit together and roll up my sleeves
Thеre was no runnin' away
All the times that wе had, I forgive ya
You still loved me
All the moments behind and I missed ya
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
It ain't nothing (nothing)
The kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (no)
Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more
The kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (say what you need to say)
Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more (say what you gotta)
And when you wake up on the edge of confusion
'Cause the one you love no longer sleeps by your side
I try to make you understand what's the problem
But I can't reach it like I used to
And I wish I take it all away, away
No one there to hold your like yesterday, day
I'm barely holdin' on, and that's just all it take
Only thing you seem to miss, you can't save
Keep my-keep my eyes closed, keep my mind closed, baby
Switchin' time zones, get it right for me, baby
Get my mind right, that's the life for me, baby
I don't waste no time, that's why these kids, they keep on playin'
Come out to the shows, I play they favorite songs
Peep this in my phone, right there, look, it's the telephone
I could do no wrong in lil' jimmy's eyes, yeah
I am just a man with another side
The kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (no)
Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more
The kids ain't got nothin' to talk about anymore (say what you need to say)
Out in the streets, restless, but wanting more (say what you gotta
Say what you gotta)
Dead to me, they don't mean to hurt you
[?], Ah
Duct-taped screams, blood all on the backseat
Let you free, ah
Ah, ah (just say what's on your mind)
Ah, ah (just say what's on your mind)
Ah, ah (just say what's on your mind)
Ah
Ah, ah (just say what's on your mind)
Ah, ah (just say what's on your mind)
Ah, ah (just say what's on your mind)
Ah (just say what's on your mind)
