Glitch in the Blues

Static in my cup

Old tape in my head

City hum outside

But my fear louder instead

Cold night

Cheap coat

Busted zip

Blue smoke

From a cracked-down lip

Mum said

"Boy

You better watch that drip"

But the pain so deep

It just startin' to rip

I got a glitch in the blues

Heart skip

Screen freeze

Bad news

Every step feel stuck in the groove

But I still move

Yeah

I still move

Glitch in the blues

Red eyes

Black mood

Wrong fuse

If the world won't change its tune

I'll bend these notes till they make room

Tin roof

Rain hit double-time

Old bill

Creep slow down the line

Friends ghost

Turn data

Not signs

Only God that I know

Live between these rhymes

Finger on the pain like a trigger

Don't pull

Memory flicker

Then it flood

Then it's full

Every scar on my skin like a barcode

Check

Tryna buy one day with a little respect [crescendo]

If the blues don't break

They bend

If the code don't clear

We send

Same prayer

Again and again

'til the glitch turn gold

At the end
