Here - Brother Ali

Woman I’ll give you the grand tour

Theres no reason for you to look closer

But you do so I show you

It ain’t pretty here now but it will be One day I promise, when the sunrays are honest

I chip away at the tint on the windows

Stain in the glass, it’s a pain in the ass

I scrape and I scratch 'til my arms grow weary

Meanwhile I warn you not to stand near me I think I built the fence a little late

The demons were already in, now they can’t escape

I been toe to toe with most of em’though

As a whole they must perish in order for me to grow

Hide up in the gloomy little cracks that they inhabit

They pass away the day I deactivate my habits

Each one gets buried in the backyard

As tiny little graves marked only by a black scar

Kindly watch your step

The silence hasn’t finished being awkward yet

Trophies lay in the basement to stay safe

Today’s mistakes are in a lighted trophy case though

And I want you to know

I only invited you cos I ain’t thought you would show

But I’ll be damned if you ain’t grab my hand

And presented yourself on the threshhold of the heartland

«Are you here to confuse me»

(I don’t mean to confuse you)

You’ll notice antiques swords adorn the wall

There really not here for decoration at all

I save them shits from old relationships

and I swing’em at you later if you stay in the mix

Don’t you realise nobody’s really been inside here

Since it was last drenched in dried tears

Decorating was a senseless idea

Cos only the blind lonely prince resides here

We dine here on a balanced diet

Ego when it’s loud, self-hatred when it’s quiet

Inside the castle this is what the life is Sign here after you read the fine print

It’s not much but all of it’s yours

Take great caution if you wanna explore

Watch your head when you opening the doors

And always remember that the choice was yours
