Friendly Fire

When the sun ain't around, I shine When the rain comes, now I'm dry When I'm down, I'm fly When I'm breathing, I'm dying When I see you, I'm blinded When I swear that I'm leaving, I'm lying When I say I want more, I need less I fall with each step, I'm pure but cheap Yes, I'm strong at weakness, I guess what I know Learn what I teach, backstep when I grow Spurn what I preach I'm the only of the many, your homie and your enemy Holding on but letting it be Lonely with my friends and with me Bold and go on hesitantly over her and reminiscing 0 for 4 and never missing Only talk forever listen I'm all of that and then some minus all of that, Subtract then some, and combine it all right back Cause I break it all apart then find it all attached And none of it is real but all of this is fact I am right now, yesterday, tomorrow, and before Amazing, mediocre, plus horrible galore It's crazy but I'm sure that I'm shady and I'm warm And when I break it down every maybe is secure With change and growth some remains, some goes From the lame comes dope from the pain comes hope From my brain comes quote that actions don't match Then I look back and run past shit I won't catch, Know nothing, but know that, blow up, but I hold fast Grow up but I go back a pup, but an old cat Enough, but it won't last, tough but I fold fast Double up with no cash, it's funny but I don't laugh The more days I live the more that I die The more that I hid the more that I find The more that I give the more I acquire And the realer that I get the more it's alive It's a little complicated but pretty straightforward I'm equal parts nothing everything's distorted Cause whatever I am I will never be again But I'll always be me for a moment til it ends It's a little complicated but pretty straightforward I'm equal parts nothing everything's distorted Cause whatever I am I will never be again But I'll always be me for a moment till it ends Yeah it's clear in the fog engineered to evolve But the gears and the cogs appear to dissolve And erode any road and the goals stay blocked Though hip-hop is dope I rock and roll I toss and turn, scoff and yearn I often learn my loss is earned My cross is burned my cautious nerve Got me going but I, stand still, as I Plant roses in my, landfill And I rise like an anvil Fall like July as high as an anthill as small as the sky Rely on what breaks arrive but I'm late Why is it when my dreams are true I lie awake And when I'm not confined I'm planning on my escape And perfection that I find is tied to my mistakes The bind I'm in it but free Died but living with ease And I forgot to remember it's me It's a little complicated but pretty straightforward I'm equal parts nothing everything's distorted Cause whatever I am I will never be again But I'll always be me for a moment till it ends It's a little complicated but pretty straightforward I'm equal parts nothing everything's distorted Cause whatever I am I will never be again But I'll always be me for a moment till it ends It's a little complicated but pretty straightforward I'm equal parts nothing everything's distorted Cause whatever I am I will never be again But I'll always be me for a moment till it ends Yeah, until it ends
