[Verse 1]
Nothing lasts forever, and I told you
Everything you need to know that's not true
Lyin' to myself because it hurts you (Hurts you)
Waitin' for the simple taste to come through (Come through)
I've been known to hide within my own walls (Own walls)
Jewelry in my eyes so that I don't fall (Don't fall)
Onto higher prices, and escape with (Escape with)
All my ice intact, but who am I to kid?
Pound of flesh, and yeah, I'm still kickin'
Solipsism to spare my own stupid
Fears because the past and future scare me
Ridin' out to Venice with a nosebleed
I stood before the waves and prayed to be clean (Be clean)
But dirty in my mind, my gold turned green
But this is everything you ever wanted (Wanted)
Cryin' for the ones I lost in '18 ('18)
IG3, to 014, unhappy
Nothing ever makes you get past it
33 and still can't stop thinking (Thinking)
Fallibilism I keep on spendin' (Spendin')
To shower my beliefs with ice melting
[Chorus]
Losin' touch of everything I know
Prayin' for my heart to turn to stone
Bandana tied around my broken skull
Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold
Losin' touch of everything I know
Prayin' for my heart to turn to stone
Bandana tied around my broken skull
Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold
[Verse 2: Toro y Moi]
Don't be actin' dumb, cookie's gonna crumble
Wipin' up the crumbs, I do this shit casual
Happens all the time, plus I'm dark and handsome
Shit's broken by design, it's a tantrum
[Chorus]
Losin' touch of everything I know
Prayin' for my heart to turn to stone
Bandana tied around my broken skull
Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold
[Outro: Toro y Moi]
Don't be actin' dumb, cookie's gonna crumble
Wipin' up the crumbs, I do this shit casual
Happens all the time, plus I'm dark and handsome

I rented a house in LA for a month where I just holed up and made music nonstop. This was one of the first songs I did in that time, and they’re some of my favorite lyrics I’ve ever written. I feel like I really got the feeling and emotion out that had been bubbling around in my mind. And really, ho...
