Brother Ali
"Here"

Are you here to confuse me? (x5)

Woman, I gave you the grand tour
There's 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 sun rays 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 warned 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've been toe to toe with most of em' though
As a whole they must perish in order for me to grow
Huddled in the gloomy little cracks that they inhabit
They pass away the day I deactivate my habits
Each one gets buried in the backyard
In tiny little graves marked only by a black scar
Kindly watch your step
This silence isn'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 'cause I ain't thought you would show
But I'll be damned if you ain't grab my hand
And presented yourself from the threshold of the heartland

Are you here to confuse me (x2)
I don't mean to confuse you (x2)

You'll notice antique swords adorn the walls
They're 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 realize nobody's really been inside here
Since it was last drenched in dry tears
Decorating was a senseless idea
'Cause 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 want to explore
Watch your head when you opening the doors
And always remember that the choice was yours

And I want you to know
I only invited you 'cause I ain't thought you would show
But I'll be damned if you ain't grab my hand
And presented yourself from the threshold of the heartland

Are you here to confuse me (x4)
Are you.. are you.. breathing?
