Afronaut - At the Tone lyrics

My life is two-sided, similar to a wager
Leave a message at the tone or
Hit me on the pager me and you fit together
Like animals and nature
But we can't stand the fact that
We both have different saviors
Tryna mine my way into your
Heart like I'm playing Minecraft
This isn't Watch Dogs
But my heart is feeling hijacked
I've put so much effort into
Trying to get you, baby

But, you're just jumping away from
Me like a caribou, maybe
Maybe, if I kept going you'd soon
Figure out I love you bae
You're probably taking this the
Wrong way though
Maybe if we were grown enough than
You'd be with me someday
But my soul has been yearning
For your love, please, don't go
I just strive for my personality to
Be perfect just for you
I bought you a ruby necklace
And some copper earrings, too
I don't get it

Why can't my actions just get
Through to your mind? I must be blind
Or we just have different
Likings at this time i must not be the one
You must be looking for another
This sucks, I can't take it
Just tell me if you don't wanna be my lover
My brain is so messed up when I
Just want it to stay complete
It's like my everyday life is changing
I thought it would stay concrete
And that's the truth
All of these emotions are
Screwing up my youth
That's why I try to keep it real
When I'm spitting in this booth back to her
The unnamed girl I ever so long for
These mixed feelings I've been having
Is taking my lifeline offshore

I've felt this deep abyss lurking
Inside of my soul
Just an infinite empty hole of
Nothingness on a sole
Feeling crammed and filled with sadness like
I'm stuck in a box
Gotta make it back to land
Cause, I'm on the sea and you're at the docks
I thought you was my treasure chest
And I was the key
Guess that wasn't correct, hmph, obviously
You know what? I'm done with her
I gotta focus on myself
And vibe out to some tracks
Preferably Dizzy or Wyclef
Breaking free from all this pressure
This is my great escape
Now it's time to put my life back together
Imma reshape

If it don't work out, a gun is my last resort
Nah, what am I saying? I don't
Mess around with that assort
My parents been divorced for
Around a year now
But, I manage to keep my head
Up and hold up my crown
I don't want anyone to bow down
I just want y'all to listen
To the realest words you'll
Ever hear from me, it's what I'm spitting
If I memorize my mind then it
Should run just like a train
My soul is my engine
And the conductor is my brain
Creating new lyrics to speak what I truly say
But, I just wished that one
Girl would be my newly-wed
Uh, uh, but nah dude
I gotta stay on my grind

Take my time as I write and
Simply listen to every line
As I record, I can't complain
My words I speak are calm
I just hope that this won't be the
Last time I see my mom
Even after all of this
You better not have skipped this track
I just want you to relax and
Just sit and play it back
If you don't like what I'm saying
Then I dare you to scope me out
Just know that I'll probably never live
My life and hold it down
