five
[Verse 1: saoirse dream]
I think I get what that Kanye song means
If I put my hand on a stove, will I bleed?
If I cut again, can I even go deep?
Picking away at the body beneath
Grounding by naming five things I can see
Five things I can hear
Five things I can touch
Can tasting the back of my tongue be enough?
Yeah with my luck, you’ll tell me
[Chorus: saoirse dream]
I’m so beautiful, so beautiful
You’ve got front row seats to the dream
To scream my name back at me, pretend
I’m in control, I’m in control
All eyes on me, on me, on me, on me, on
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath
[Verse 2: Musa]
Sometimes I think I’m on top of the world but I’m missing their words when they’re talking to me
Fucked up the details, everything they told me, I thought that their birthday was the seventeenth
And I don’t know why I just act like I have so much energy, when I don’t even get sleep
My words just compress out my mouth now, it’s hurting to breathe
It’s hard to accept you’re relying on me
I’m burning this bridge, it’s not holding up
My patience ran thin, yeah I called your bluff
I bottled my feelings the day that you left
Yeah I tried to be cool, I’m not cold enough
It would be funny if I ran into you on a corner, street, or party
If I’m just telling you the truth
My heart already broke before it started
[Chorus: saoirse dream]
I’m so beautiful, so beautiful
You’ve got front row seats to the dream
To scream my name back at me, pretend
I’m in control, I’m in control
All eyes on me, on me, on me, on me, on
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath
[Outro: saoirse dream]
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one ‘til I’m dead
Five counts and I’m catching my breath, yeah
