I wanted Dr. Quandary to lace me up a dope, lush outro song and totally changed the tone of this EP for the last track. He delivered HARD and FAST.
In fact, I thought this track was so dope that it started my next project, Breakup Music, which is a collaboration with Dr. Quandary. We're doing a whole album like this, and it will be approximately awesome as fuck.
lyrics
take my heart and slice it up, baby, I'll admit I kinda like this stuff
...maybe cuz your blade just ain't precise enough
maybe it's love, maybe it just the taste of my blood
even with condoms you're a dangerous fuck
the emotional abuse should have broken me in two
but every single scar gets me closer to the truth
so, yeah, learned a lot, but I'm still kinda stupid
she bangs out my doubts and kills my excuses
it hurts and it bleeds and it burns pretty deep
it's like therapy, except that it works and it's free
been swallowing a lotta tough love but it's not enough
once I fix the furniture and mop the condoms up
I'm honestly stoned and I just want you to know
that I'll take this mistake as far as it can possibly go
so I wrote a slow jam song with no pants on
cuz you and me are so damn wrong
Verse 2:
feel like a forest fire that won't die down
and I've seen that disaster from both sides now
god alone knows how many lost homes
all over some anonymous dick from Bob Jones
love is just another ongoing global war
and all the soldiers are horny but mostly bored
barely trained, and got no protection
running around reckless with some loaded weapons
and all those experts are lying to you,
scientists, too -- now remember what I'm trying to do
I'm only making a case for love that bleeds
after that, what you see really isn't up to me
if you think I'm nerd, or secretly really serving satan
or even a dope rapper, that's your interpretation
and what I choose to create from the music I make
to this bruise on my face like wait, yeah
maybe you can relate
