XVRHLDY - The Crutch (Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX rework) lyrics

Lust is nothing but love and trust at the same time Lust is nothing not love or trust don't you dare lie Lust is nothing but love and trust at the same time Lust is nothing not love or trust don't you dare lie Thoughts of ascension Cost of redemption Lost in the trenches War with the senseless [Verse 1: XVRHLDY] Monochrome greys and hope, paint days Finesse game played, should quit but crime pays They want to murder me in time They want to watch me tick away I get hunger pains from the lack of monetary gain And the medicine my man attained We pedal hurt just to k** the pain Break/brake lives just to k** the pain It's a bi-cycle well oiled chain It's ironic how that cycle made Nerves are chords Heart, percussion Drugs cause/solve destruction [Verse 2: XVRHLDY] I'm a manic pessimist, charismatic to a fault though All I really know is barcode I just sold another dream Took a ratchet to the art show, She can barely say Pica**o I'm so Georgia O'Keefe, Matisse, and Basquiat Winter solstice, I rock the blue fox Hennessy beach party, a new hatch Trying to feel something Just numb to it trying to feel From afar I'm no good up close Love me, from afar I'm no good up close (Repeat 4x's) Give me your love While I can still feel I need your love I need to feel real I need to be healed
