io.hiphop – drips lyrics

[verse 1]
drip, drip dripping window fragments in the carpet
stairs painted black from the sh-lls of the harlots
kitchen dressed up with candles, lights, and starlets
so she don’t feel broken as she hides the scars
the st-tches opened up in a moment of weakness
a broken home, defeated
carnivorous limbs been feeding
off the salty stains, facetious
little world that she’s been stuck in
the muck is too much to budge
holding grudges against her luck
she falls back onto the crutch again

i know we’ve been waiting for a better day
or a better place to meet our gaze
but we can’t run from the things that are in our face
we can’t drink away the day
you and i can’t run circles no more
cause we’ve been thinking of ourselves as the broken ones
the broken ones

[chorus]
and you’ve been looking down
on this ground i’ve been walking through
and you’ve been holding me down
since the day that i found you
but i don’t want to know
what you’ve been thinking
and i don’t want to know
what you’ve been drinking
i smell it in your breath
you’re calling for distress
but i can’t save your mess
anymore

[verse 2]
drip, drip, drips
from the candelabra
wondering if i will see you tomorrow
and if not
i will feel no sorrow
i was only summoned when you felt low
i’m done trying to please
done leaving voicemails you’ll never see
done sending letters that you’ll never read
i hit the ground and now it’s hard to breathe
but i’ll tell you what i know
is if you sit idle and think you’re not vital
there is no revival, you stir in the cycle
i’ve been there a while, it’s broken my smile
but now i stand to speak
and quench that thirst with a fit of pique
i won’t ever let them see me fragile
blade in the heart, still i’ll never be strangled
here’s a sample
of what you k!lled
everything you tore down
everything i rebuilt
was it fun?
calling me stupid and
making me feel like i was less than human
you were the one with the long sleeve problem
so why was i the one crying so often?
if i could go back i would tell you to stop
stop

[chorus]
you’ve been looking down
on this ground i’ve been walking through
and you’ve been holding me down
since the day that i found you
but i don’t want to know
what you’ve been thinking
and i don’t want to know
what you’ve been drinking
i smell it in your breath
you’re calling for distress
but i can’t save your mess
anymore

[verse 3]
october 27th
thought you wanted me to come over
so you could apologize for the yelling
i was dead wrong, wasn’t i?
and so were you
dripping from the sheets that i clung to
her parents never knew
most of the truth of it
had i been wiser, could i have saved
us from you?
thought i would stop feeling guilty after a while
i was dead wrong, wasn’t i?
dripping from the sheets that i clung to
only thirteen
thought we had it all figured out
we’d run off to new zealand where
there’s nothing you want to forget about
as if scenery was the only thing
that was dead wrong
as if you weren’t dripping
from the sheets that i clung to
i only ever tried to help
i only ever did my best
so why am i the one staying up awake at night
when i should be the one at rest?
why are you still
the only thing on my mind even though you’re long gone?
why are you still
dripping from the sheets that i clung to?
it’s sick
it fills me up until i lose my will
i sit still
and i try to breathe
but i want to scream
because all i see
is the window fragments
and the candelabra
and you
dripping from the sheets that i clung to
