lyrics

HOOK

pulse leavin fam grievin
no time now
not believing dawn evenin
cant figure out
im the medicine man
im the medicine man
I got dead fam
I got sick friends

VERSE 1

when your mom scream for help
it pull apart your core
kidneys light up
cant taste no more
if dad go missing
feel time in your pores
sublime with remorse
you grind with a force
leapin up stairs
walkin through doors
slave to the love
dedicated not sure
talkin in fours
half asleep like dem tours
emblazin
amazin
gainin no rewards
car is a coffin
maybe a spaceship
leave the job wit out warnin
nobody say shit
trapped behind the wheel
heat and gridlock
too loyal transform
bumblebee grimlock
flippin over cars
rippin up tar
hate waitin
should leave 880 wit a scar
but we stuck where we are
like a bug in a jar
off bend at your end
when it starts

HOOK

VERSE 2

dad dad
mom mom
guilt got me uncalm
fumbled wit the ball
n it landed like a bomb
wait
how the fuck this happen
when I pay for your trackin
not sneakin n the snackin
nurses got me vapid
one in a million
medicare blue cross
fuck a kaiser building
dodgin death
gloves comin off
aint comin home
all that im fearin
dots in the ceiling
I been shot wit a feelin
now he wont swallow
body will follow
no tubes in the throat
we swore up in tahoe
into his eyes
givin me his life
with one final sigh
everything he tries
draw up truth
leave out lies
spirit is alive
science bill nye
cant die
cant cry
reject the end
best of friends
I accepted him

BRIDGE
appointments n promises
nurses and hospices
deep in regret
n gets no stoppages
blood clots and seizures
bed sores and leisons
she aint breathin
n he aint eatin

HOOK
