tori mf zo - the offering iii lyrics

[verse 1]
sometimes… i wonder…
why i could never connect
why i could never reflect
an image that you accept
an energy you respect
no effort you would reject
the messages i professed
in effort to swim you farther
now water up to yo neck
and why do i blame myself?
like maybe i’m just too old
or maybe i move too cold
or maybe too much i scold
or maybe cuz of my form
it bent us until we broke
‘stead of bringing you to the fold
is that the truth?
i don’t know but
i got a fеw pains i’ve discovered
evеr since i listened to “no play fighting with your brothers”
cuz nowadays that’s a feeling i cannot recover
i, i feel the distance and i suffer
memories recycle like the crushing of a can
ingrained like a shuffle in the sand
i give it all i can til collapse and i drown in the guilt in the puddle that i am
i’m a mortal, i’m a man, i’m the motive, i’m the stance, i’m the foiling of a scam
the unfurling of a plan
i’m the motion in the air , i’m the ocean , i am nothing, i’m the turbulence again
i’m the purpose of wind, can’t see me but i’m there, bouta move sh+t!
i became the vision, going hard, going through sh+t
on the day i die, don’t you cry, play my music
so much on my mind, ain’t no room for excuses
i been tryna find, a lighter side, but it bruise quick
and i’m mostly overwhelmed
well
life den got to me
i forgot to breathe
i didn’t take the things
that they offered me
i learned how to die
liv+ings hard for me
my di+cho+to+my
guess its all on me
like it always be
looming over me
like apostrophes
its so hard to dream
when the things i’ve seen
make it hard to sleep
[bridge]
last night i saw myself in the mirror
he didn’t know my name but i looked familiar

[verse 2]
i lost myself to this world and became all the things that i never understood
i feel like a burden when i vent bout the pain tell my friends that i’m good
therapy a ruse when knowing where i’m headed don’t alleviate the pressure of what im going through
this is more than a feeling
this is mourning the living
this is telling the world that you more than a villain
i den went years without love of a mother so to me its nothing when this world gets cold
i get more comfortable when y’all all hate me and lately im anxious when moving through love
i just conflate it, i just convert it
i ain’t felt safety since i was a baby so i just stay sober cuz my fears was greatest and purely was based in the losing control
i went from crying for help to i’ll do it myself and i hate when they praise what i did on my own
i learn to cauterize wounds with the flames that i made and the haven i made from these songs
so pardon me if i’m not willing to hold all yo hurting, and problems, and burdens i learned how juggle it all as a kid as a sk!ll with my tears and my fears and i did it alone
tell me i’m rare and then glare at my standards
admire my stride just to flare up my balance
make me feel like lov+ing me is a challenge
that’s too familiar revoking that pattern
careful so i don’t get lost in these lyrics
my mind so full i stare off in the distance
all my survival prescribing me guilty
calm on the outside but inside i’m tripping
i close my eyes and see bombings of buildings, the launching of missiles, and k!llings, and children as victims, concern for my siblings, and sickness, and pipelines to prison
and stressors that glue me to ceiling, and what ifs i get it without all my n+ggas, cuz they did not obey the laws of the physics
and meaning of friendship, and meeting my ending without leaving you with these songs
[outro]
i den seen darkness unfold on the love when the fiat finito
i den made homes out of people, go knock, get denied at the peephole
i have been told that i’m some sort of sucker from snout of mosquito
all of this pouring i do, who’ll replenish when i’m reaching zero?
