Lyrics

Sun blaze 
No rays
Know death in my eyes is nothing but patience
My mistake
I'm disgraced
While you bathe in the sun with ya girls on vacations 

I'm layered up but the cold goes right through my breast
Can't cover the hole you left in my chest 
With money, funny, flex, or sex 
And I don't know what's worse 
The pain of you being with him or this empty room
Shrooms bloom all up 
The toxins I spewed that day now fume the room
And I'm so frustrated
You begged me to show all of me and that includes
All of the things I wear
The ice and my mask to distract from my heart stomping boots
I told you I can't fall in love
My empathy lacks
So why would you
Give me a chance
See it's all your fault
You gave me the space to backstab you too

Sun blaze 
No rays
Know death in my eyes is nothing but patience
My mistake
I'm disgraced
While you bathe in the sun with ya girls on vacations 

Please call me if I'm out your life
Don't call me stranger and wear a disguise
I just want you to think about all of the bullshit you done put me through
All times your heart fell for another
And I chose to stick with you
I cut you off for a week
And that was enough for you to call a truce
Then you started walkin' with scissors
And sleeping with roommates to show
That you cut me lose
I told you I can't fall in love
My empathy lacks
So why would you
Give me a chance to open my heart
Now half of it's locked inside of you


Sun blaze 
No rays
Know death in my eyes is nothing but patience
My mistake
I'm disgraced
While you bathe in the sun with ya girls on vacations 


Sun blaze 
No rays
Know death in my eyes is nothing but patience
My mistake
I'm disgraced
While you bathe in the sun with ya girls on vacations
