res lauren - tides lyrics

[verse 1]
closer to rain and i’m racing the tide
running the race in my eyes
i got a problem with fear
see me fl!ckering under these lights
i need time
close to my ghost, see me take her aside
breathing the white of the lies
questions about all the pain i would hide
and the flame that’s been burning me dry
like
where do i go to get rest?
how do i open my chest?
how do i crack all the locks that been keeping me all in my head?
no defense?
more than my best i need traction or bread
stayed looking west
treading the water approaching my bed, had me red
drips are the reason i’m dead
reasons are slippery when wet
i just want change
patience like back of the plane
review the reasons i came
ruins are breathing
i’m soothing a dream
so the voices start taking the bait
’til i’m back on my pace
back on my grind that’s been breaking my faith
colors are mixing, no faking a vixen
i still see too much on the plate

[hook]
all i ever knew was to wait
all i ever choose is the grain
sayin’ i’m silly, got faith of a million
nothing was ever the same

[verse 2]
they say chin up, yeah
they say chin up and pose for a face
please pick a pace
b-tch don’t you know what’s your place?
in between needle pr-cks
blood and i need a rinse
clip up a rose for the vase
dust on the pill, pressed into tracks
even my drill said i’d never see wax
i’m crazy
rearview went dark so i started star gazing
patch up my nights and i start singing praises
stars might burn out but my heart’ll keep blazin’
know it’s the shadows that shape me
cut from the cloth, no engraving
i need no body to save me
mind over body, cement over lobbies
got “ace” for my high, and i’m thankful
all the missed calls
consequence surface in splintering fall
the fold
they made it cold
never gave up on a hoe
electric, eve, electro
watching me take up the reigns
breaking the mold on the pain
checked outta fam ’cause they lie for the gram
so i told ’em respect was the name

and i started the letter
if it ain’t obvi your girl doin better
daughter at dinner with brave in her face
would only go far as they let her, and that was a problem
they don’t like favors
talking to trigger, forgot i’m a chamber
mama likes magic, but won’t let it change her
money is money to empathy’s anger
and i don’t even know how to thank her
yeah

[chorus]
all i ever knew was to wait
all i ever choose is the grain
sayin i’m silly, got faith of a million
nothing was ever the same

sayin i’m silly, got faith of a million
nothing was ever the same [x2]

no we ain’t silly, got faith of a million
nothing was ever the same

i bumped the mic with my head

[outro]
“today’s tides were more than a foot higher than normal, a level that will be the new, permanent, normal with climate change.”

“when the king tides flow in, it’s really hard to control them.”

“they’re more of a window to the future.”

“we’re gonna have to get very imaginative.”

“a storm, both literal and figurative, is headed our way.”
