[Intro]
(Yo)
(Yeah)
Carter, are you serious?
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna lose the emotion
I don't wanna sweep it under the floor
'Kay, girl, fuel that substance
Like, somehow it knows you need something more
I don't wanna feel real love yet
'Cause love ain't love, it's knowing your core
And I know you know that you're running
Better shape up 'fore you keep that
Keep that
[Chorus]
This is not gonna work
Imagine reinvention
Tryna recollect my worth, yeah
I hope you hear it in the words
Or at least over the phone
I'm just a broken bird
[Verse 2]
When my neck goes stiff I try to stretch it
Get some leverage into heaven
Seen a lot of angry faces, disappointed my decisions
Cold bed
Lost friends
Time spent just forgetting
Sharp pains
Dull fate; stimulate the seven senses
[Bridge]
Oh my
Don't cry
Feel fine that you're falling
Oh my
Don't cry
Feel fine that you're falling
[Verse 3]
Fuck time killed over cheap thrills
Like wine spills for some dopamine
I still feel that I'm unreal, so I choose to be who I wanna be
Not swept up like room dust, when it turns dusk and I can't see
How I once felt, if I did well, for the person who had wanted me
[Verse 4]
Never really know if it's a drill
Am I really dying? Wish I'd know that
Write it all on the will
This windowsill seems to go back
When all I had was to heal
Now all I have is to collapse
Coffee cans over pills
Hands quake from the cold blast
Yeah
[Chorus]
This is not gonna work
Imagine reinvention
Tryna recollect my worth, yeah
I hope you hear it in the words
Or at least over the phone
I'm just a broken bird
(I'm just broken)
[Verse 5]
Forty minutes pass, uh
Hot water still rolls off of my back yo
Never can relax, I
Step out the moment the feeling retracts
Now I feel in mass
Got nowhere to go, so I'm making a track
Easy as that (Easy as)
You know that you feel it so fade in the grass
[Verse 6]
Neither fight or flight 'cause I'm aware of my abilities
I'll chalk it up until the dusk erodes or finally gets to me
I guess we tend to trust in what we fightin' for
But don't let a road become an eyesore
Open up your mental, persevere and take a dip
Just because you weren't there, it doesn't mean they ain't exist
I create to stimulate when no one's there to fill me in
'Cause when your home's a hollow body, I could use a little pinch, so
[Chorus]
We can probably make it work
Imagine reinvention
Tryna recollect your worth
(Worth, worth)
I hope you hear it in the words
Or at least over the phone
I am just a broken bird
(I'm just broken)
[Outro]
Please just listen
