J. Faith - voicemails

Oh, here's to you and here's to us
And when you're down
I'll lift you up
Oh here's to truth and here's to love
Go scream it out
You're more than enough
Here's to us

Sometimes I wonder were we split for some kind of purpose
Possibly I feel I'm dealt with karma's greatest curses
Picture me flipping through pictures like I'm in social studies
Lookin' at history from a glance by the seat of my pants
Video chattin' cause we're miles and hours aside
Moving the screen so you can't see the tears I'm mortified
Another birthday I missed it
Christmas I missed it
That once in a lifetime thing I shoulda been there for I missed it
Elise was sending emails asking when I'm comin'
I learned you don't break a promise with any type of youngin
There's no fun in being stunned reaching for the phone
It warms my heart to hear em shoutin' uncle Justin's home
It's sad to say that favorite tone is few and far between
I blame myself could I have helped the situation breathe
By better means or so it seems
Takin' pictures so I can keep my family close
How the table leans

Oh, here's to you and here's to us
And when you're down
I'll lift you up
Oh here's to truth and here's to love
Go scream it out
You're more than enough
Here's to us

Every time they call
I try to pick up with a simple answer
I'm tired of hearing all these voicemails
It's like a cancer
The funeral is this day
It's like a constant replay
I wanna tell the sensei
I need an off day
Mind a mile a minute
I'm wincing through every syllable
Another and another
Actin' like I hit the pinnacle
It's a miracle
My sanity can handle me
Smilin' candidly
You can filter through the imagery
I often wonder are they better from my absence
Growing better under pressure
Like I have since
I have a bad sense
When you face the unavoidable
Waiting for the call or the text
Is uncontrollable
A ticking time bomb
I'm only tryna diffuse
A race against forever
So I'm destined to choose
What I do
Within the middle of every heart beat
Pardon me
I'm only speaking subconsciously

Oh, here's to you and here's to us
And when you're down
I'll lift you up
Oh here's to truth and here's to love
Go scream it out
You're more than enough
Here's to us

The years go passin
Graspin to a single moment
This life is not complete
I'm missing one component
Walls of graffiti lay empty in search of inspiration
He'd say believe me got it covered with no hesitation
This ain't math you can't simplify the complications
Alls you got the hand you're dealt no matter how you take it
I'm just a fragment on the bigger piece of apple pie
Right on the corner of easy street and wonder why
I watched a man cry
A child hurt
A mother crippled to her knees from the smell of his shirt
For the most raise a toast until the mouth's dry
You sailed away now every day I'm looking to the sky
We watched your body crumble but your spirit's alive
Who knew rushin' to your bed would be our last goodbye
Who knew that night a fateful swerve would kill our loving two
So when I feel alone I send my prayers up to you

Oh, here's to you and here's to us
And when you're down
I'll lift you up
Oh here's to truth and here's to love
Go scream it out
You're more than enough
Here's to us
