Come. Now. Let's both sit upon this rare
Mmm. Ah. Yes, I can feel it in the air of the night
Field callin' seems it's 'bout time for a prayer
In this gesture I offer for us to make a pinky swear
Listen closely as we are perched beneath this mare
There's some light in the abyss of which I'm hopin' to make you aware
But to be honest I come to you part in despair
I will compose my thoughts to you if you've just a moment to spare
People come and people go
That's one thing I know for sure
But I want the type of friends that last forever
Said I want the type of friends that last forever
And I admit I left a few times myself
Had some reasons that I couldn't put on the shelf
'Cause I want the type of friends that I can keep forever
Said I want the type of friends that I can keep forever
An oath
An oath
Won't you put your hand in mine
Maybe a little blood
Maybe a bit of saliva will
Solidify the ship
Shape shift
Quo state
The shape of things in a twisted turn of fate
Be wise
To choose a rudder of sufficient size
In case it's necessary for you to turn on a dime
There's a lot of turncoats
Call'em A-Benedict
They will gladly slit your throat over your eggs benedict
The only vision in their eyes is one where they benefit
The poster child of selfish spades so many graves they will dig
No matter big or small
Hide you wife and hide your kids
For a chance at the thrown they will smoke'em just like the mids
In the middle of the street or in the center of the mall
In order for their rise what's necessary's your fall
After the bloods drawn can you tell the real from the fraud
Or once over will the performance warrant a standing applaud
Yes they come and yes they go
After which colors are displayed for show
Is it forever
Truly forever
Or will they up and change in a day like Ohio weather
It's almost over let me see if I can
Break this thing down more clearly
Articulating that this beautiful thing
Comes with a few items of specificity
A few different faces like Mystique
Black, copper, brown, olive, tan, pink
But the color isn't the focus
It's solely in the holder's ability to
Watch out for me
Watch out for me
I'm not asking for something that I wouldn't be willing to
Give in order to receive
Like if you know something that I don't know
About someone who did or said something ill
I'm saying
Please don't let me be blind to that reality
Like I don't need to retaliate
And I don't need to necessarily take action
But I think it's kind of bull to let someone smile in your face
When behind the scenes they laugh and drink cruelty
Curtains pulled
And they drink cruelty
Sip sip
Yep that there's cruelty
A lot of drinking
Dark allegiance
And that there is just pure cruelty
Tea is steeping, menace peaking
Keep that energy from 'round
Keep me humble, keep me grounded
Build me up, don't break me down
The only way to keep the peace is keeping drama from around
So when I need I may retreat to somewhere completely absent sound
To consider what I believe always without mental bound
Never have and never will relinquish my freedom just to follow the crowd
'Cause to me it matters who I'm willing to make proud
Not just anyone is worthy
Makes no difference raise your brow
You've a code
Well so have I was partly fulfilled in the crown
On his head you're in my side but I won't let you make me drown
If you've missed the point I've made know that this track can be rewound
If innocence was lost, then in a sense it can again be found
