I haven’t made you a song in a while
birthday, party, afro dance

I haven’t made you a song in a while
birthday, party, afro dance
Lyrics
Intro
I haven’t made you a song in a while
Been thinking for a while
There was this new technology — it’s wild
I know it’s been a while
But time ain’t still, it’s movin’
Like trying to pick up sand castles
Or catching all the smoke that blows
Can’t hold on to water
Hope it holds on to you
It was fun — something like amusement
It’s a park, I need you to get on a line with it
Twisted rides, flashing lights — it’s confusing
Before you left, before regret, before the breath
I saw the signs, I heard the depth
You whispered low, you meant what’s next
Build
I would say goodbye if we was even still saying hi
I would say catch me outside but at this point I’d probably just walk by
What a disappointment, I was making a point to make you poignant
Loved you unconditionally, I guess you had conditions for me
It’s evil to me to be doing this unequally
How you not notice my quality?
I’m laughing, clapping through pain and any agony
They told me grow, I grew inside
Now all my questions start to collide
And I don’t really need to press rewind
But there’s something you left behind
Hook – A x B
But watch how time’ll go
Watch the scene, I know
Watch the watch, the—
Watch the miracle
See the light, let it show
Let it glow, let it flow
Caught in cycles, in spirals
In silence and in soul
As for the flames
I have nothing cool to say
They just burn away
They just burn away-ay-ay
They just burn away
Verse Switch
If there’s one thing I would say
It’s that I haven’t said enough
You say I talk too much
But silence never builds the trust
I tried to write it in the sky
But that got blurred inside the dust
What can a passport do?
Everywhere I go it feels like just missed you
Maybe she still love you, yeah
And you bet you’ll find Carmen in San Diego
I’m being sarcastic ’cause I’m still down
Like last round in limbo
Is that too much to believe in?
Too much for a reason?
Too much to breathe in?
Too much to leave in?
Am I the only one dreamin’?
Still out here reachin’?
Still out here speakin’?
Maybe I should just send
All my writing to Hollywood
With the “to be continued…”
Hook – Lift
But watch how time’ll go
Watch the scene, I know
Watch the miracle, watch the miracle
See the light, let it show
Let it glow, let it flow
This is more than a phase
More than digital waves
It’s the clock in reverse
It’s the space that remains
As for the flames
I have nothing cool to say
They just burn away (they just burn away)
High Energy Mix
I got bars — do you got lines?
I got weight — do you got time?
I got truth — do you got ears?
I got now — do you got years?
Like trying to pick up sand castles
Or catching all the smoke that blows
Can’t hold on to water
Hope it holds on to you
I got fire, I got ash
I got love and I won’t give it back
Got a lens on a life that’s shifting
Got a name in a place that’s distant
Got a lock and a key for the mission
Still got hope in a world that’s glitchin’
They just burn awayyyyy
They just burn awayyyyy
As for the flames I have nothing cool to say
They just burn away, they just burn away
Outro / Chant
Watch the time, yeah
Watch the scene, yeah
Watch the miracle
Watch the miracle
Hold the light, don’t let go
Let it guide, let it show
All these pieces fall and fold
But this rhythm still got soul
Burn away, let it glow
Clock in reverse, let it flow
Caught in cycles, in spirals, in soul
Still got hope in a world that’s glitchin’
Still got hope in a world that’s glitchin’
