Bridge (L8ye): ...when it's too dark - too dark to see ...I'll paint that picture - of where I be ...not black or white - I'm in between, that's Life for DAX, I see black-lights, so turn up team Chorus: ...when I'm lonely, who consoles me? ...when I'm puzzled, are you there to figure out? ...got the stage set, ready for amazement ...when I'm puzzled, are you there to figure out? Please Catch me, I'm falling... knee deep, almost all in Stop me from falling... defeat, I cannot win Trust me, I'm calling, please solve this, I can't be Chiaroscuro, chiaroscuro, chiaroscuro Verse 1: (A believer since a very early) Age - now turn to today, I struggle with faith, my Parents told me when it came to college I could never let my spirit fade Excuse here, excuse there, faith is biased, bro, but the truth's fair Sorry, I meant science, but uh, I ain't lying, I got plenty bibles but the proof's where? Maybe God ain't inspire that ish, 'kay maybe a bit, but some of those lines are in bad taste Hard to see this as legit, so I just excuse them by saying they were in a bad place Jesus had progressiveness, eh just a bit, I tell you it wasn't enough Sure, women tagged along too - but for equality, man he just kept them in last place Never do black face... but here are the rules on how you should treat slaves, no Matter exact page... I feel like I'm told I should not use my brain It's heartbreaking, this is all I knew, when it comes to preaching, what I love to do My faith's waning, it's a great pain in the painting - never letting man meet God, uh Chorus Verse 2: Life, black and white, got both in my sight and it's mixing in life pretty well Try mixing knowledge with God, it's apparent, (praaa) it's living hell "Learn about me David, uh, not like this," life'll be a blunder when forgetting bliss Sorry, ignorance, I know God is real but he's done in it all just to not exist I'm saucing, I mean I'm lost and it's all my fault, sin be Costing, I keep on falling, and time keeps stalling I'm calling... terminal velocity, stay in place Like an actor right on stage - feeling like I fall from grace Bridge (L8ye): ...when it's too dark - too dark to see ...I'll paint that picture - of where I be ...not black or white - I'm in between, that's Life for DAX, I see black-lights, so turn up team Verse 3 (DAX/L8ye): ...so turn up team - know what I mean? ...no Martin Luther - forgot my dream ...Chiaroscuro - back on the scene God and I be asking what life means, and we both got the answer My homies out, working for the greatness, like we Hidden Leaf, yeah, we too deep turned a New leaf like fall weather, working hard so all fall together I flex hard like the ginyu force, melanin shine but I'm a mellow fellow Tryna' live with dodging all the blue and red with a red dot: my future got a shot a head Melanie Iglesias... (come) to my iglesia ...my invitation, I'm Cool like a glacier... (you're) so hot, you're blazing ...(ride) waves like the vapors God and I: friends long time, (now) to see if talking imaginary Le Real, it's been long drive, Jesus had the wheel, and that's what's scary No bueno some hating I crack up, success with progression we back up Lots of moves it all add up, pull they tab up, it don't add up So they back in back in did too much subtraction, took the negative away, I did the extraction 'cause they Did some extra, not about the action and I know one day we 'bout be on Outro: All I ever wanted was to be a tourist in my own city The prismatic preacher and his girl's pretty The 72nd reverend with the iridescent essence ...can you learn the lesson?
