Weakness and Truth [Lyrics]

These are the lyrics to "Weakness and Truth", the second song on my album The Work, featuring Mike Mass.

I remember being
Honest with you
I remember peeling
Back my soft white skin
Took my bones
Laid them on your table
Watched you scramble
To replace them all again

Let me start all over
Let me take a breath
Let a wind blow
All through my wilderness
Let it bring out the music
Inside my head
If truth is weakness
Then I’m already dead

I remember butterflies
Around me
Taking aim with my
Well-sharpened regret
Watched the blades
As they turned back to me
Bleeding out while they
Smiled upon my chest
​
Let me start all over
Let me take a breath
Let a wind blow
All through my wilderness
Let it bring out the music
Inside my head
If truth is weakness
Then I’m already dead
​
Dead to the lies
I’m alive to the truth
I will glide through
The sky with pride
Soul sprinter
I slow down my stroll
In a minute to roll with you
But know it wasn’t enough
I noticed something was up
And then what

Nothing can ever be louder
Than higher silence
Penetrating my mind
It was non-physical violence
Frequency is higher
This violet is far from crimson
Anger’s such a shallow description
Implying distance morally
But it’s more of a shock
A dying instant
Weakness how you process truth
I’m dying quick then

Manipulation must make
Infinite life a trick then
Since dishonesty is the opposite
Of what killed him
My philosophy is that
Hide and seek is for children
Spin the bottle
Hop to the scotch
We’re not resilient
Jump rope can turn a hangman
But imma skip it
Makes sense
Postmortem is starting to be optimistic

Let me start all over
Let me take a breath
Let a wind blow
All through my wilderness
Let it bring out the music
Inside my head
If truth is weakness
Then I’m already dead
