Heartmelt

[Verse 1]
Used to be a season where I made mountainous poems
Change came the climate, there's no bounce in the moment
Used to [?], the sun choked on its shadow
The room is dark and empty
Now I write vocals to candles
A pilot of fly-rappin'
The cabin pressure is stable (They know)
Climbin' that horizon, to kiss the mouth of a rainbow
It's been a minute since I made out with a lyric
I guess I loss the passion that I once had to begin with (It's all tongue-in-cheek)
This kissing is infrequent
My pride, it got colossal, now it's wading in the deep-end
Came to see the ocean on a weekend
Waiting for a wave to speak to me
But the motion just ain't scenic
Is beauty in the eye of a beholder? I don't see it
If pain be the requirement to shoulder, I don't need it
But tell me, what is medicine if never do you let it in
Because he don't accept it, what benefit?
Tell me, what's the lesson
[?] your commitment to listen of what's objective
And measured by your opinion
Imagine what you're missing
I rap to show you all a better method
But coulda stop the reckless progression of all your deafness
Beg for your attention like affection, it's systemic
A reverent peddlin', every message of repentance
I remember when there used to be a good intention
Behind all this aggressive expression, but I forget
I can't remember the last I was inspired
Sang, danced, wept, and laughed around the fire
Went deeper than my chest
Just a [?] pessimism
A pile of [?], defective mechanisms
And I don't see a point now that everyone's an artist with a similar background
Does another Filipino [?] still rap now?
Tell me, what's the purpose of perspective and context
When there isn't any truth in the content

[Chorus]
If I went away
It would be the same
Nothing here would change
Floating down this passing river
If I drift away
Would you sail for me?
Help me find a way
To make me try again, try again

[Verse 2]
I guess I'm too old for the young kids to relate to
You're too young for the old-heads to embrace you
Your past ain't got enough scars to be a victim
Hardly say Christ when you rap, you ain't a Christian
You're really not Asian, you're more close to the Latin
You ain't Filipino if you don't speak the language
Don't got success if you don't got the practice
Get a job and stop all your rappin'
Trapped in
Hashing ain't congruent
But all these stupid things will amuse you
It's petty, my identity hurts
[?] abuses you
I guess we all playin' dress-up
Yeah, we choose to and this is my confusion
Approval is a costume
Donned it for the sake of everybody, but not you
Sometimes you got to
Well, how far is the far?
You can't see the distance
Only take-away is you can't see the difference
Who is this?
[?]
The image that exists within the mirror
Appearance gettin' clearer
I see him now, tryna cross through
He whispered with a melancholy view, "I'm not you"
You know the feelin' when you sacrifice it all
Just to find a single solitary place to feel involved?
No matter how hard, you strugglin' to belong
The rumblin' in your heart is strummin' a different song
Unique love, unheard of
A mystery, that sweetness
Completin' all this peace
And that symphony with that beat is
For the first time I see clearly
Wide open, I seize thoughts
Crescendo, and it rises up
I fly over to greet Mars
And I don't wanna wrestle with peace
By projectin' all the things that you're expecting of me
And I don't even know what it means
But I'm tryna be everything that I'm destined to be

[Chorus]
If I went away
It would be the same
Nothing here would change
Floating down this passing river
If I drift away
Would you sail for me?
Help me find a way
To make me try again, try again

[Outro]
If I went away
It would be the same
Nothing here would change
Floating down this passing river
If I drift away
Would you sail for me?
Help me find a way
To make me try again, try again
