mile - conversations lyrics

[verse 1: mile]
yeah
dear mama
you ain’t even gotta really remind me
this the road not taken:
you helped me follow it blindly
i couldn’t ignore the tasks that my soul had to assign me
couldn’t wait in the classroom for greatness to come and find me
in a world run by entertainment and media
diplomas for degrees are just decorative memorabilia
white+collar debt fish, f+cked by the system + that’s necrophilia
music is what takes my voice higher than helium
faith in a dream is all that i need of ya
and lord knows you had it
i worked that much harder to makе it matter
in a place wherе these dreams get shattered
and cold dishes, we serve our hearts on a platter
you taught me never to think in place of feeling
i watched you b+tt heads with all of your demons
when god came and took the only man that you ever needed
we see our life in the history and always try to repeat it
no, please no more funerals
no more broken spirits that come by the numerals
no more lonely nights that end up with you at home
and me in the club blowing what should have been student loans
we both try to fill a void:
me with the bottle, you with the bible
you with the god, and me with these idols
that sell me on money, power, and legacy
you ask if it’s worth it + after my choices it better be
but please have the strength to bring me home
if anything’s ever levied on my soul
and please keep jesus’ arms open
if you ever see me roped in
to a world you never want me to know
i’m tired of trying to find balance whenever this sh+t’s about
being a son, or be the man of the house
hold on to destiny, or listen to the doubt
learning to love, or learning to live without
[hook: mile & ibtisem]
conversations, tell you what you need to hear before we all disappear
conversations, and would you really reply if i had nothing to hide?
conversations, tell you what you need to hear before we all disappear
conversations, and would you really reply if i had nothing to hide?

[verse 2: mile, ibtisem]
(conversations) dear god
i put aside my pride, morals, and greed
when i’m also trying to make you sacrifice what you believe
and i was taught we can only speak to god on our knees
do you hear the voices in our veins before the pain bleeds?
(conversations) cause really this is not fair
why would you make it so easy to think you’re not here?
riddles and hidden messages, prophets and bible references
mounted on top of hope in something that’s really not clear
sometimes i sit around and wonder how i got here
cause as people we really got our work cut out for us
do we believe in you to satiate a subconscious need
to be resigned to a fate that’s plotted out for us
by a higher power? do we really want control?
is this just another existential crisis as a whole?
do we run, till our legs give out from all the truth?
do we see the best things in our lives and hope it’s you?
tell me something please, cause it’s just me and you
do you see how all your tools of peace have been misused?
like how love breaks spirits and made us out to be fools
then all trust is forsaken, with that pain as an excuse?
all the answers to all my questions of faith:
where was faith when my dad lost his life and met his fate?
where was faith when my ex+fiancée was out of reach
and my antidepressants couldn’t keep me from drinking bleach?
as i laid up in the hospital wondering who i’d meet
between you and satan, impatient for my heart to lose its beat
but still promised my mother i’d try get back on my feet
even if the grief already had me six feet deep
i still try to see beauty in every breath and
think of how it could leave me at any second
but only you could convince me that it’s a blessing
like how in all of my pain, you laced it with every lesson?
please give it meaning if not peace
make purpose clear if we can’t speak
make love have me anything but weak
tell me what it is in my creation that you seek
(tell me what it is in my creation that you seek
tell me what it is in my creation that you seek)
[hook]

[outro: ibtisem]
yeah, your pride conversations
oh oh, conversations
oh oh, conversations, conversations
yeah, would you listen to me?
would you listen to me?
conversations, conversations
con, conversations
would you listen to me?
