Sleepless

[Part I]

[Verse: Jonny Farias & Weldon Irvine]
Wake up, play a dirge for my innocence
Othello on the track
Spitting this verse in passing, it's early af
Tragic circumstances made a plain absence
We await your return to class
Shining bright like the Burning Man
False prophet, I need a sermon, stat
The sad stain the soul like astroturf, drive me crazy ‘til I crash and burn
Things were chill when I was taciturn, they had to turn to crap
Man, I'm just learning that's just how the world is
Back in the jumpsuit, life hit me with the one-two
Morning sunrise
Every evening meal could be my last supper
Still whine over what I've bred to where I can't utter raps
In a rough patch, wishing for a comeback
Not well, in a dry spell of serotonin
Everybody wanna know it all until they know it
Everybody wanna die but fear me when I really show it
Everybody's turned comic, y'all can quit the joking
Death in the family, we still in mourning
Morning sunrise
Hello morning, you look up
Nah

[Part V]

[Intro]
Redundant, this feels redundant
I'm upset, I'm obsessed

[Verse]
This a skip in time for those who skimmed and stopped
Hairy tales to tell, I'll spin a yarn
Hit the bottom, brain on the fritz
This thickened plot I can dig no longer (sike)
One bullet, shot and missed my shot
Hard to breathe, already gave my heart
She told me that I'll find a different heart
I'm feeling stupid, my feelings stupid

[Refrain: Frank Ocean & Jonny Farias]
How come the ecstasy always depresses me so?
Chemically I don't have no more new places to go
Feeling like a ghost, invisible
Do you hear me? Do you see me?
How come the ecstasy always depresses me so?
Chemically I don't have no more new places to go

[Part VI]

[Verse]
Wake up, play a dirge for my innocence (Pisces)
Took the bait, now it's time to fry bigger fish (cancer)
Vox clamantis in deserto
Boy, you whine like merlot, worst role model if you've ever eyed one
Why put a suicidal kid so high up?
High up; let's not jump to conclusions
Guidance: never judge the series by the pilot
Jesus, my reflection looking like Judas
Brutus, stabs in the dark for solutions
From a young age, they tell us not to lie and yet they never tell you ‘bout the side effects
Drifting from the principles I've heeded, take attendance, is you present bro?
Literally been ready to die, it's no biggie though
Child of the indigo, waiting for the scales to fall from my third eye
Wish it was plain simple though
Turbulence, sick from the chemtrail life been dispensing
If God is good all the time, then I've got several questions
To many ministers, men and women, I'm mini-Vincent
Yet I'm double-minded and rickety in every mission
Switch hitter swinging for the fences
Keep on missing, feel like quittin'
But penning is the anesthetic, still nitpicking everything that's written
Damn these soliloquies I'm dishing
Guinea pig in a system that's Willie Lynchin' the children
Rivet spittin' gonna leave me swimming with the fishes
Skinny dipping in the naked truth, it floods my thoughts
Make opus (you can't), evade onus (you can't), so many mental blocks
Pushing boulders feeling like I'm over a barrel
Beefing with myself, haven't thrown away the hatchet
Toto, this ain't Kansas no more, this is madness
Lonesome, romantic, can't take no for an answer
Love's a drug, got the antidote in the plasma
Going blow for blow with the angel
Give me my blessing, L-L-Lord give me answers
Bottomless pit, don't fall in the chasm
Stay Shakespeare with it, put your soul in the stanzas
We're all merely players, the issue is I've got stage fright
Seven ages everyday, he gotta learn to make time
Are my main lines being said in vain?
Hyperventilate ‘til I'm in a breathless state

[Part VII]

[Verse]
Drowning in air
Life, it ain't fair
Deep in the mire
I'll sleep when I---
When animals see a great threat, they play dead
Is it okay that I'm not okay?
I know this is no way to live
I just wanna feel no pain
Wanna hit nirvana, oh hey Cobain
If God give me stardust, I'd prolly blow it like Coltrane
My soul train's gone off track
Forget that, peep the line though, ayy
Lost my compass, been going the wrong way
Time fly like fourth plague
It's been hard, my heart finna be hardened
My apologies
You caught me on an off day, in all ways
And that's always
Stuck between Moses rock and a hard place
Sleepless, hopeless
Never felt more woke than at this wake, huh?
Ain't that comedy? Ain't that irony?
One life, what you afraid of?
One life, that's what I was afraid of
Who's to blame, God?
You're flawless, so it's I, straight up, eyes straight up
Maybe I should go to sleep to wake up
