Paroles de la chanson NMC2 par
Yeah
Yeah
They tell me that the candle that burns twice as bright lives half as long
So if I pass away at forty, look after my songs
I try and get up in the morning, look up to the sun
But when I have a daughter, I hope she looks up to my mum
I think I wanna be a dad that looks up to his son
'Cause the shoes I'm passing down, he might struggle to run
Unless I undo all the laces I've tightened for years
I don't know why I feel nostalgia 'bout something to come

I don't know why I feel nostalgia 'bout something to come
My girl been getting stressed, she just having a low week
She lay awake at night stressed until pigeons and crows speak
Kiss her forehead, pick off lashes off both of her rose cheeks
She tell me, "Make a wish," I'm just hoping she goes sleep
One step at a time
I tried to fix it all at once and I set it alight
I spent years of my potential ignoring the signs
So I can tell you I can rap, I can't say I'm alright
I get overwhelmed at little things, afraid to ask for help
I disappear, I'm lashing out at all the ones who truly love me
Arrogance I use as armour
She lay awake at night stressed until pigeons and crows speak
Kiss her forehead, pick off lashes off both of her rose cheeks
She tell me, "Make a wish," I'm just hoping she goes sleep
One step at a time
I tried to fix it all at once and I set it alight
I spent years of my potential ignoring the signs
So I can tell you I can rap, I can't say I'm alright
I get overwhelmed at little things, afraid to ask for help
I disappear, I'm lashing out at all the ones who truly love me
Arrogance I use as armour
'Cause people want the words I have to say, but
I don't have the heart to trust me
Never lost hunger, it's just hard to know what words to paint
But you should know I never came here for a kickabout
No more candles, it's hitting different now
'Cause the candles that I blew out are all still around
I'm so lost, I call escape tunnels home now
Started thinking that my vices genuinely cure me
People shake me when I'm staring and I'm zoned out
I'm busy questioning why words can never reassure me
Looking back at Dream Workz reflecting on fears
I'm thankful for delusion that has stuck through the years
I don't have the heart to trust me
Never lost hunger, it's just hard to know what words to paint
But you should know I never came here for a kickabout
No more candles, it's hitting different now
'Cause the candles that I blew out are all still around
I'm so lost, I call escape tunnels home now
Started thinking that my vices genuinely cure me
People shake me when I'm staring and I'm zoned out
I'm busy questioning why words can never reassure me
Looking back at Dream Workz reflecting on fears
I'm thankful for delusion that has stuck through the years
I've never been more certain my time's now
And me, I'm not the type to be sad when my time's out
I'll make my dream work
Stayed hungry knowing that the limit's the sky
Purple bags, but they never dimmed the glint in my eye
'Cause it was written in the stars, but now I write with 'em
I used to stare at 'em, now I spend the night with 'em
Fun as it seems, I wanna scream into the sky and fucking run at the sea
'Cause everything is working but the button for peace
I tell myself that laziness is not a disease
I'm whispering my gratitude to help with my sleep
I hope it all works out
And me, I'm not the type to be sad when my time's out
I'll make my dream work
Stayed hungry knowing that the limit's the sky
Purple bags, but they never dimmed the glint in my eye
'Cause it was written in the stars, but now I write with 'em
I used to stare at 'em, now I spend the night with 'em
Fun as it seems, I wanna scream into the sky and fucking run at the sea
'Cause everything is working but the button for peace
I tell myself that laziness is not a disease
I'm whispering my gratitude to help with my sleep
I hope it all works out
But it's changed a whole season since I last worked out
Self-belief had scribbled all the true words out
So I blew out all the candles, but I'm still burnt out
There's a long road left and I let destiny drive
But destiny ain't focused on my personal life
I thought writing all my flaws would make them all feel right
But the flaws are still growing, you're just watching 'em live
Yeah

But the flaws are still growing, you're just watching 'em live
