Failure Mode (prod. Textto)

from Tabiya by Jake the Adversary

lyrics

Kid missed the funeral, business as usual
Fuck swords when a hundred pinpricks are suitable
Wish this was mutual, live with it, doable
Winless Lelouche any miss inexcusable
Honestly your nearness mysterious to me
Setting off with a weird-ass experience or three
Hella spitting out words, but you got me
And kudos, I’m ludic but zoom over quandaries

Love em, let em leave, game played to the hilt
If they come in on the breeze, say fate is fulfilled
Else stumble and repeat, make tapes and rebuild
Never humble in a screed, ain’t wait for until
Now I’m rustled by degrees, blank space in the film
Needin somewhere I can breathe, may brace in the chill
Maybe mumble when I dream same face in my stills
Or I can jump and find relief - waystation, I’m killed.

I’m never green, teeth gritting, say a man’s
Feeling lousy, I’m nasty and all I need’s Aurelius
I had a dream that I didn’t take a chance
And Yudkowsky was yelling at me calling me an idiot

Thoughts, tears, injokes, I’m not angry, stay hard,
Just shouldering the multitude of solitudes that pains bards
A safe start to your lane as the ways part
Farewell and brave heart - depart.
