[Verse 1]
I keep a ruler in my pocket
I keep a list in my hand
If your story don't line up
I can see it at a glance
You talk big, talk smooth
But your numbers start to slide
I read the cracks in the glass
I don't let them hide
One step back, one look through
I don't chase what won't fit
If the shape ain't clean in the dark
Then I won't call it it
[Pre-Chorus]
Measure it
Check it twice
If it breaks, then break it right
I don't need a storm in my head
I need a line of sight
[Chorus]
Logical mind, hold the line
Logical mind, read the signs
If it don't fit, I let it go
If it don't fit, I let it go
Logical mind, hold the line
Logical mind, read the signs
I don't fall for smoke and shine
I don't fall for smoke and shine
[Verse 2]
You came in loud with a grin on
Talking like you know the room
But I saw your drift, your angle
And the shadow in the tune
I don't need your whole confession
I can hear the bend in the tone
Every yes got weight behind it
Every lie leaves bones
So I count what you leave out
Not the words you throw around
If the ground starts to tilt under
I get low, I don't drown
[Pre-Chorus]
Measure it
Check it twice
If it cracks, then name the price
I don't need a storm in my head
I need a line of sight
[Chorus]
Logical mind, hold the line
Logical mind, read the signs
If it don't fit, I let it go
If it don't fit, I let it go
Logical mind, hold the line
Logical mind, read the signs
I don't fall for smoke and shine
I don't fall for smoke and shine
[Bridge]
[Rap]
I map the mess, I don't marry it
Truth got weight, I carry it
Cold-eyed, I stare right through
False hope can't parry it
Blues in my throat, yes, I know that pain
But I won't let hurt run my train
Count the cuts, count the cost
Name the real, then move on past
[Chorus]
Logical mind, hold the line
Logical mind, read the signs
If it don't fit, I let it go
If it don't fit, I let it go
Logical mind, hold the line
Logical mind, read the signs
I don't fall for smoke and shine
I don't fall for smoke and shine
