murs - rescue lyrics

[verse 1: slug]
i can feel the depths tryna clutch me
i hold my breath inside of my chest, it expands
when will i snap? when will i exhaust?
and let the tide carry me off to the lost
caught between reality and a remix
distracted by the lights, the liquor and the cleavage
tomorrow (tomorrow), i’ma be alright
but tonight, i’ll continue my plight and take flight
let’s blow this nest, just go, this mess
is gettin’ old, gimme less and you can hold the rest
i used to want it all, but now i settle for halfs
i tilt my head back and i let out a laugh (hahaha)
and the steering on the ford is still unaligned
and the clock on the radio speaks the wrong time
i feel the levels get close to my head
set a trap in my eyes to catch what they said
count the dead bugs beneath my bricks
now, every time i try to swim i get seasick
i think you built my life on top of a burial ground
throw me in, i ain’t gonna drown
[verse 2: murs]
under waves of confidence i’m sinkin’ in self pity
on the surface i’m successful, on the low i’m feelin’ sh+tty
with this written car note, insurance out to get me
hit me with the rock bottom, a stone cold stunner
grab ahold of more sh+t just to keep from goin’ under
wonder how they all feel if i had to take a break
to feed this need to cool my heels at the bottom of the lake
i tread with ankle weights, keep my head above water
make my moms regret the day she ever thought to have a daughter
(you can’t trade the bottom, my position and depth)
’cause to try to reach my league you probably couldn’t hold your breath
catch a bubble to the brain, too much trouble to maintain
the rhythm in your step as we dancin’ under rain
i could boogie to the current, see i’m a water sign
it came natural, while the rest had to learn
they turned it into a stroke, my movements all fluent
i just take to it like a horse to a yoke
or a ares to the sky, so much fluid in my lungs, man, i swear i’m ’bout to die
(but i pass it through my gills)
and keep my eldorado movin’, steady provin’ i’ma flow
with the liquid in the driveway that my cadillac spills

[interlude: slug]
…on and on and on and on
[verse 3: slug]
on the fire escape, with another blind date
tipsy, arguin’ about religion and the crime rate
once again, i’m late, dysfunctional fate
struggle to put the puzzle on tape with one take
make my statements: the world’s too small
make the call, hometown got you down?
don’t wanna get hurt, you’re trying not to fall
sometimes you gotta fall just to take a look around
(and the leaves start to leap from the trees)
and the leaves start to leap from the trees
they all got they eyes on the ground
(and when time takes it’s toll it touches me)
and when time takes it’s toll it touches me
but i won’t drown, i ain’t gonna drown

[chorus: slug]
there’s a tunnel that connects from here to there
lift the lid and climb in if you dare
don’t worry ’bout the cold, wet feel of the air
if you begin to drown i will rescue
have another drink, let’s act like we care
there’s nothin’ on your mind, i could see it in your stare
your shoes are nice, girl, i like your hair
if i begin to drown will you rescue?
there’s a tunnel that connects from here to there
lift the lid and climb in if you dare
don’t worry ’bout the cold, wet feel of the air
if you begin to drown i will rescue
have another drink, let’s act like we care
there’s nothin’ on your mind, i could see it in your stare
your shoes are nice, girl, i like your hair
if i begin to drown will you rescue?
