i nearly died

lyrics

there's no one home, so the phone echoes
thru the skin and bone of the microphone.
it wakes the machine, who in turn wakes me.
says "listen to these new recordings"

that's how i know
so i stagger, pack a little bowl.
barely alive, trynna look alrite.
but i nearly died. i saw the light
it surprised me i survived.

when i hear a door close, i hear you most, i suppose.
my women haunt me the m ost. i been seein one more ghost.

that's how i know so i dig a different kind of hole,
swallowing lies, trynna look just fine.
but i nearly died, my eyes went white
it surprised me i survived.

i know yr worried real bad that i'm gonna be mad.
i don't get mad at things i had,
i get mad at thing i have.

and you know it best.
over yr shoulder coldly
breaking oaths to scold me,
thinkin i'd be fine.
but i nearly died.
i wished i died.
oh god no.
i survived.
